As a senior, I know I can look back at my years at Georgetown and know that I made the most of the city. After all, I have watched rugby matches at the French embassy, sang with Drag Queens at brunch, watched congressmen play baseball, gone to the Swedish embassy for a yoga class, watched dachshunds race at the Wharf, tangoed at the Kennedy Center, spent a night at a museum and more. DC has so much to offer when you know where to look. That’s where newsletters come in – like friends in your pocket, they serve as mini-guides, ensuring you never miss out on the exciting events that make D.C. so special.”
Embassies
Whether it be the UAE’s art exhibitions, Mexico’s Day of the Dead masquerade, Germany’s Oktoberfest party, France’s movie nights or Uzbekistan’s dinners with ambassadors, every embassy in DC has a newsletter promoting public events. Simply go to the embassy’s website/Eventbrite and find the link to their newsletter. You don’t have to speak the language or have formal ties to the country to attend their events — just bring your curiosity!
Axios Washington DC
Cuneyt Dil and Anna Spiegel are former reporters and DC natives who will bring you the best of DC politics, business, culture, climate and even some sports news. As they write on their website, “no matter what, we’ll always look for one cool thing to get you smiling as you start your day.”
What I love most about Georgetown is the people I have met — friends and professors who have made my time here incredible. The cozy campus is perfect for forming deep friendships, and what I look forward most to each day is seeing old friends and making new ones. I picked Georgetown because it blends academic knowledge with hands-on experience. Wanting to study international relations, I knew there was no better place than Georgetown. Being right here in DC means students can apply knowledge taught in the classroom directly into their internships.
The Nudge DC
Too busy to read long newsletters? You’re a Georgetown student, you’re juggling seven clubs, I get it. Let me tell you about “The Nudge,” a text message-based DC planner. The Nudge texts you three DC lifestyle activities and events every week. As the name goes, they “nudge” you to get out of your comfort zone. Without their texts, I would have missed out on skating at the Wharf and watching boats decked out in Christmas decorations.
