So why Gewirz?

The Gewirz Student Center is a vibrant learning community located in the heart of Washington, DC.  Nearly 300 students from around the world live here, along with professors, clergy, and staff. 

There are three reasons main why students choose Gewirz: our convenient location, our amenities, and our social support network. 

Our Convenient Location

The Gewirz Student Center is located right in heart of Georgetown Law Campus.  We are located directly across the green from McDonough Hall and are connected to the Sport and Fitness Center and Courtside Cafe. 

Additionally, we are located just blocks away from the US Capitol, the Supreme Court, the Library of Congress, the Naitonal Mall, and Union Station.  We are located mid-way between the Judiciary Square and Union Station Metro Stops, both within easily walking distance, where you can be whisked to nearly any part of the city in minutes. 

At Gewirz, you can experience the best of both worlds -- convenience to campus combined with easy access to the city.

Social Support Network

By far, the biggest benefit to living in Gewirz is the unique social support network that develops from living and working with fellow students. Resident Fellows live in Gewirz and work hard to guide you through your first year of law school.  Beside sproviding you with tips and advice on topics like choosing classes, studying for exams, and finding a summer internship, Resident Fellows strive to create a cooperative learning environment in which Gewirz residents forge social bonds lasting well beyond their years at law school.
