What's a Hoya? Many years ago, when all Georgetown students were required to study Greek and Latin, the University's teams were nicknamed "The Stonewalls." It is suggested that a student, using Greek and Latin terms, started the cheer "Hoya Saxa!", which translates into "What Rocks!" The name proved popular and the term "Hoyas" was eventually adopted for all Georgetown teams.

Possibility to visit freely, when I say freely that is to say that nobody has ask whatever it is to get free parking, walk around the campus, sports halls, hall of Lady, classroom, churches... except the library was closed. It's quite pretty but not to the point that I myself imagined. A small side Harry potter in the building principal.un ball left on the soccer field. I'm glad to be gone, but not too cliché in the tv series, good experience anyway!View original -

This is a must visit if you're in the vicinity. The architecture on the Healy hall is amazing and a walk around the university is recommended.

Where to stay in Washington DC
Most visitors to Washington, D.C., end up in the East End, the old downtown district containing most of the city's major cultural attractions. For a more authentic Washingtonian experience, consider staying at a smaller hotel just a little north or east of this busy area. Neighborhoods outside downtown offer less expensive accommodations and affordable street parking, as well as opportunities to meet more locals and fewer tourists. Alternatively, try a hotel in Georgetown, packed with high-end shops and Colonial architecture.
