Columbia Plaza is a great place, and I would recommend to anyone, but especially grad students at GW. The location can't be beat, but you are also right on the edge of the District if you need to make a quick getaway into Virginia for dinner or errands. Building itself is good, walls are pretty thick and you don't hear much noise from neighbors, and trash chutes are on each floor so you don't have to walk too far or outside to dispose of things. Parking is a little pricey, but overall a great place to live.

Great prices for the square footage! Unfortunately the amenities are lacking and there are no washer/driers in-unit, however, gas stoves, electricity, and water are included. Overall it's a great value and in an awesome location. The plaza in between the buildings has a few restaurants open during the week and a market with a fully stocked liquor store that's open Sunday-Saturday.

Location is excellent. For what you pay, you get a lot of space. Amenities aren't particularly great (i.e. gym) but the apartments themselves are nice and somewhat updated.

Awesome apartments close to the school where a lot of other graduate students from George Washington live. Has dry cleaners, a food and liquor market, and a gym all right on site. Parking is expensive, but it's because we share a garage with the state department. Great value and place to live, especially if you have other friends looking for place. There are 5 different buildings and always apartments available to rent and live near a friend group.

Columbia Plaza is a quick walk to school and not far from the Foggy Bottom Metro stop. A convenience store, dry cleaner, and a few places to eat are located in the plaza. A number of GW grad students live in the building so it is easy to make friends, but it is not overbearing if you don't want to be social all the time.

The location is good, quite near the Metro station. The price is not bad considering how much space I get in the apartment. The front desk's service is terrible.
PS: a mouse maybe came in to our apartment at one point.

Worth it. Should definitely try this. Really great view and location. Ideal for students at GW. Great amenities and management is amazingly helpful. Very close to the metro station and nearby restaurants and pubs. Great for social life and student environment.

Best apartment. Very close to my school. The price is totally is worth it considering we live in downtown. All the facilities are available. The best part about this apartment is that most of the GWU students prefer to live here therefore we can always have a good social life.

It's close to the uni, lots of like minded students live close by and the apartments are just amazing! The amenities in the kitchen are very high end and make living very convenient. The balcony gets ample sunlight and is great to hold parties. The management is very helpful and responsive in case of any issues.

This is a good location near GW so it is good for students or other professionals working in Foggy Bottom. The apartment building is not fancy, but it is still nice enough and has everything you might need. The area is safe and easy accessible to the rest of the city.
