Our Location

Visitors have many options for getting to campus. Public transportation (Metrobus, Metrorail, and the DC Circulator bus) is recommended due to traffic congestion. The Georgetown University Transportation Shuttle (GUTS) offers free shuttles to campus from the Metrorail stations at Dupont Circle (Red Line) and Rosslyn (Blue, Orange and Silver lines).
