Getting to Georgetown

We are excited to welcome the friends and families of our graduates to the Hilltop campus. Here are some important travel tips to consider as you plan to attend your Georgetown University’s Commencement ceremonies.

Driving to campus?

We strongly recommend that you take a taxi or ride share to campus, as roads may be busier than usual and parking on campus is limited. If you do decide to drive to campus, here are some resources to help you out.

Tips for travel
