Transportation to Washington
Georgetown University does not pick up students and bring them to campus. To get to campus, students must make arrangements to travel to and from area airports, train stations and bus stations.
The address of the main gates at Georgetown University is 37th and O Streets, N.W., Washington, DC 20057. Students can take a taxicab or arrange to be picked up by Super Shuttle. From the main gates, students will be able to walk to their residence halls and check-in areas.
Students can easily arrange ground transportation from the three area airports:

1. Reagan National Airport is just minutes from Georgetown
2. Dulles International Airport is about 25 miles from Washington, DC
3. Baltimore/Washington International Airport is about 40 miles from Washington, DC

Once you arrive in Washington for your Summer at Georgetown program(s), the below information regarding campus resources will be helpful to you as a 2012 Summer Hoya.

GOCard
All Summer Hoyas will receive a student identification card called a GOCard.  Students will need to present their GOCards when visiting the dining hall, studying in the library, or entering their residence halls.  Additionally, students may deposit money onto their GOCards for use at the University Bookstore, library for printing, athletic facility, and various dining locations on and around the Georgetown campus.  Students are encouraged to submit GOCard photos in advance through the GOCard Photo Submission Form.

Yates Field House
Be sure to take advantage of the extensive sport and recreational facilities at Yates Field House.  Access is free during your program(s) with your GOCard.

Student Health
Summer Hoyas can make use of the Student Health Center during their program(s).  Student Health has access to the Medical Permissions and Immunization Forms that you completed and returned.

Library
Read or study in one of the many on-campus libraries.  Be sure to bring your GOCard.

Campus Ministry
Georgetown University embraces all religious traditions.  For worship services and other information, please visit the Campus Ministry website.
