Every Sunday there's an all you can eat brunch buffet on the Vern. If you're running low on cash it's great to bring tupperware and stock up on snacks for the week.

For being so close to the White House, and the opportunities it gives its students. Students are able to get internships in the White House, the Pentagon, the Capitol, and many other places in the government. It's also known for the importance of the professors and how hands on they are because they are still working in the field that they are teaching about.

Plain and simple - there aren't really any. Colonial Inauguration can be fun for freshmen but after that there really isn't much. One cool thing is that they set up a beer garden a couple times each spring. The best tradition is probably that each student will get a chance to see a President inaugurated by the time they graduate.

My school is best known for its social sciences. Mainly in the specific field of political science. Most students come to The George Washington University in order to study politics because its so central in the city of Washington DC. Its four blocks away from the white hous, couple of blocks from the World Bank, and 1 mile away from the Secretary of State. GW is known for its high political activity and therefore acts as a magnet to thos politically inclined.
