As I look up and squint as the sun penetrates my eyes, I wonder, is this a GWU building I am looking at or a city building? GWU is about as urban as it gets when it comes to location. Located in the Foggy Bottom area of DC, you can walk and walk and walk and still never experience all that this city has to offer. Know that a large quad is not part of the deal but the world, literally, is at your fingertips.
