George Washington University

George Washington University, in the Foggy Bottom neighborhood of Washington, DC, has a campus with no walls: you walk out into a city full of government agencies, embassies and think tanks. The White House, the State Department and the National Mall are just blocks away, which makes internships part of the weekly routine. GW is especially strong in political science, international affairs and public health. It is a great fit for students who want politics and policy to be part of daily life.
