7 places to visit on the Hilltop
Old North may be the center of life at the McCourt School, but there are a lot of other places to visit on Georgetown’s campus. Here are seven places to check out as a student at McCourt:
1. The Tombs
While technically not on campus, The Tombs is Georgetown University. A casual restaurant in the Georgetown neighborhood just outside the gates, The Tombs offers good pub fare, a popular Sunday brunch and a great place to catch a Hoya’s game.
2. Grab-and-Go Eateries
Looking to get a quick bite in between problem sets? There are several grab-and-go food options located on and near campus. Some of the most popular include Chick-fil-A , Royal Jacket , Compass Coffee , Booeymongers and Wisemiller’s Deli , home of the famous “Chicken Madness.”
3. Campus Study Spaces
Need a quiet space to study or a private room to meet with your team about a group project? Georgetown has study spaces across campus, including in Lauinger Library and The Car Barn . There are two Graduate Study Lounges in Lauinger, located on the first and fourth floors. These rooms are designated quiet with laptop use permitted and are solely for Graduate Students.
