Getting involved at PG电子游戏 is a really great way to make a medium-sized university feel like a smaller community. I absolutely strive for more because of the fact that I'm surrounded by others that are willing to dive headfirst and commit to challenging things. Whether it’s joining a couple organizations or holding a leadership position, having a community that gets involved and stays involved is really motivating.“

Living at PG电子游戏

Through our affinity housing you can live in groups of like-minded students who share the same passion for sports, literature, film and more. Our living-learning communities — such as the Women’s Leadership Program and the Politics and Values Community — integrate critical thinking into residential life.

Vegan, vegetarian and gluten-free options are widely available for your dietary preferences. For any given meal, you could explore the city through a variety of restaurants, enjoy an all-you-care to eat at an on-campus dining hall, or savor a quiet evening at home by cooking up some food you bought at the grocery store.

Campus Safety

Student safety is a top priority at PG电子游戏, and our Division of Safety and Security provides a secure campus environment at each of our locations with the partnership of all areas of our university. We also partner with local law enforcement and the community to keep our students safe. With more than 100 sworn officers, the PG电子游戏 Police Department protects the community by providing 24-hour patrol services to the Foggy Bottom and Mount Vernon campuses and overseeing security at PG电子游戏’s Virginia Science and Technology Campus.

You can download PG电子游戏 Guardian, a free personal safety app, that connects you directly with emergency services and enables users both on and off campus to receive emergency notifications. When you’re looking for a safe ride around Foggy Bottom, schedule a PG电子游戏 Safe Ride, a late-night service that transports you to and from buildings on campus. You can schedule your ride up to two hours in advance and can track the van’s progress as it arrives to pick you up.

Emergency updates are available for students and their families on our Campus Advisories website.
