Hall Tours Precede Opening of iHousing

With the opening of iHousing, GW’s online dorm application system, just around the corner, dorm buildings all over campus have been opening their doors to allow potential residents a sneak peek at where they might be living next year.

The Hall tours, conducted by the Residence Hall Association, began February 10th, and provided rising second, third, and fourth-year students with the opportunity to see what rooms in the various buildings looked like. Tour guides also provided students with information on the buildings, such as the percentage of room sizes available in the building, the quality of the elevators, and other pieces of important information.

Upcoming tours include The Dakota and 1959 E Street tonight, and Ivory Towers, New Hall, and City Hall on February 24th. Tours are between 7 and 9 pm and are held continuously throughout the two-hour period.

Significantly, the newest dorm to join the GW community, 2135 F Street – which is only available to rising fourth-year students – will not be available for touring, as it will not be completed in time; applications for this dorm were due back in January.

iHousing begins next week for the rest of the GW student body: rising second-year students will apply the week of the 23rd, and rising third-year students apply the week after, beginning March 2nd.

Rooming assignment notifications will be posted online on March 31st.
