TFAS partners with George Washington University to offer housing in Shenkman Hall on its campus in the Foggy Bottom neighborhood of D.C. Foggy Bottom was given its name due to its location on the foggy banks of the Potomac River. As one of the oldest neighborhoods in the city, it is home to:
- Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts
- Watergate Complex
- State Department
- World Bank
- International Monetary Fund
- Many restaurants and shops
Fellows will be assigned to a double-occupancy bedroom in a suite with full kitchen facilities, living room and bathroom shared by 4 residents. A single-occupancy bedroom within a suite may be secured for a fee of $925. TFAS housing is optional. Students not comfortable living in a dorm environment are encouraged to find accommodations elsewhere. Students opting out of TFAS housing will receive a $1,200 housing stipend upon the start of the program.
