GWU campus
The city campus of GWU provides students with countless opportunities for work and recreation — from sitting in a coffee shop with a laptop to internships at large companies. Ashburn has a well developed entertainment infrastructure, but the rhythm of the big city can be distracting for some students. The university has a library where students can do their homework, write scientific papers or just read interesting books. Not only locals study at GWU, but also students from other countries. The variety of cultures represented broadens the horizons of students and fills student life with all sorts of activities, the purpose of which is cultural exchange.
