It's located about halfway between the Virginia Square metro station and the Clarendon metro station. If you enter the main building (VanMetre - formerly called Founders Hall), the lobby has an Au Bon Pain and restrooms toward the back. The campus is in the process of developing a new School of Computing, which will have a new state-of-the-art building in 2023 or 2024 right next to VanMetre.

But GBU sounds a lot like GBH (Grievous Bodily Harm). Which I don't think ever happened to me here. Did I mention this was my University for 3 years of my life? I know this campus like the back of my hand. I met John Kerry here, we saw Obama here, we went all the way to the Final Four against all odds. We ate the crap food on a daily basis. I slept with so many girls and a few boys and a few I'm not sure of. I lived on campus, near campus and then off campus. It was the best of times. It was the worst of times. It was a waste of time. The University scores 5 except that they never gave me my diploma. Ever. Because I owed for a parking ticket that I never actually got... ever. I disputed it, it was never resolved, so I never got my diploma. They should be ashamed, really. I'm not paying for a parking ticket I didn't get. The professors - mostly - are 5-star rated. Except for the ones that aren't. The gorgeous campus is a 10 out of 5. Secluded and perfect. It's expanded a lot lately unfortunately but it's still lovely. I could go on all day about this place but my stomach feels engeorged, I must be hungry. I'm going down and mason myself some breakfast.

Wachovia is by far the best bank I have ever had. They are super nice, their customer service is…read moreamazing, I had my bank card stolen in Mexico and the customer service was great. My boyfriend called and cancelled the card and then a Wachovia rep called me in Mexico to make sure everything was ok and go over my account with me to make sure nothing fraudulent was going on. When I got back I went to this location (it's a block from my house) and the lady working was so nice and set me up with a temporary card in like 3 minutes. They have cool programs too like Way to Save (transfers a dollar from your checking to your savings every time you use your bank card..i have already saved over $300!) I have had my money at a lot of other banks and I am by far the happiest with Wachovia.

I also had a horrible experience with Westwood College as the testing site for a Pearson teaching…read moreexam. Westwood is horrible, horrible - -stay away from them and do your homework by checking out all the terrible reviews of this incompetent and unethical company on the web. I wish I had. They closed on the day of my exam due to snow. Would not tell me the day before if they expected to close but assured me it would be posted on local news channels -- it was not. I called the day of the exam to confirm if they were open -- no answer and their phone system kept me on hold as if they were open, even though they were closed. They didn't bother to record a message that morning to advise callers they were closed and also provided no information on their website. No information was posted on the door. They never returned my phone message. That all speaks volumes about how much they care about their students. A real college would not keep people in the dark this way and waste their time. They could care less about students and customers -- I could go on but you get the picture. They are the worst of the worst and just in it for the money they can suck out of unsuspecting victims. I have more respect for muggers on the street- at least muggers are honest about what they are going to do to you.

I have been waiting FOUR MONTHS for my money…read more I spoke to someone yesterday in the Financial Aid department and was told they have everything that they need. I was told they had everything that they needed quite a few times, so I had a funny feeling something was wrong. I called back today and SURE ENOUGH they FAILED TO COMMUNICATE AGAIN!!! They really are a sorry excuse for a company and should be SHUT DOWN or the head of the company should be FIRED!!! I will never trust my money with them again. I hope that they get their $#!+ together!!

Okay, so maybe the nerd density of this building reads off the charts, but it's a great place to…read morelive if you are part of a Cornell program in Washington. Although it may be without typical dorm room hjinks, the Wolpe Center provides Cornell students with a sense of community in Washington DC, where deeps bonds are fostered and intellectual evolution is cultivated. Sometimes when I think back to the room size, I can't believe I lived comfortably with a roommate. Don't get me wrong. As far as dorm rooms are concerned, they are pretty nice. Each room has a private full bath, small kitchen and bunked beds. There are also some common areas that residents can go to study with a plethora of cafes and restaurants nearby to seek additional refuge if need be. I always felt as though the building was fairly secure and everyone knows one another because you're part of the same, small program. Additionally, it can't get much better then rolling out of bed to head downstairs for a three hour lecture. I also remember that all of the staff, mentors and professors were truly engaged, approachable and down-to-earth, which was extremely helpful as we embarked on a major research project throughout the semester. Additionally, the Wolpe Center also doubles as the site of the Cornell Club of Washington. While I'm not terribly involved, I have volunteered in the past with CAAN (Cornell Alumni Admission Network) to help meet and interview local candidate that are currently going through the application process. I remember when I was applying, it was really nice to meet with a local person to get a sense of their experiences. Overall, the Cornell Center and community in Washington DC is extremely warm and professional. If you're ever searching for Cornell resources in Washington, this would be the place to go.

The 2 bed studios in this place are really nice (air conditioning, LARGE walk-in closets!, 5 drawer…read moredressers, personal bathrooms with a full-sized shower, and clean carpets and walls--definitely a substantial improvement from living in grungy off-campus apartments in Ithaca). The rooms are very clean and didn't set off my allergies, which is a major plus for me. The neighborhood is really nice, plenty of restaurants and cafes around--I'd recommend checking out the reviews online beforehand to avoid disappointment. Definitely a nice/safe business area of D.C. The triples in this place are nice as well. I only saw one but it had a pretty big living room and bigger kitchen with a full sized oven. Only down-side is that three beds (a bunk bed and a single bed) are squeezed into a fairly small room. Looks somewhat uncomfortable. The studios also have regular twin bunk beds( I believe you can request an extra long twin if you need it), which are all detachable if you don't want to climb up to the top bunk. Overall the rooms are pretty spacious and nice. Very happy with my experience at the center. I'd definitely recommend the Cornell in Washington Program!

Let's start from the beginning - getting to the building. It's actually best to get here from 66 (HOV), else you have to do a u-turn. We all should know by now that u-turns in the Ballston area are at your own risk! The building has its own garage, so parking is a breeze - just drive past the VT sign, make a right, and get your parking ticket. The building itself is grand - looks like it was freshly renovated. Conference facilities are fabulous - auditorium seating, ikea white "space" tables, two electrical outlets per seat, public ethernet, and microphone - all you need to have a scholarly "good time." The best part - the bathrooms are immaculate. They also have a "trough" style hand wash basin, which I'm a HUGE fan of. Very eco-friendly toilets as well. The professors, students, and staff are also extremely friendly and much smarter than I am, so I hope i have more reasons to visit again!

Amazing University…read more The grounds are beautiful with lots of open space. Buildings must be 150 plus year old and revamped on the inside. It's amazing when places in the US keep old buildings like they do in much of the rest of the world instead of ripping them down and rebuilding. Interesting face ... there is a graveyard on site in the school. There is a sign that says, lifelong supporters. I have not spent a lot of time here but it's amazing to walk and run through with lots of history to check out. I think this is a law-only school.
