Proximity

The Statesman's location very close to the law school is ideal for 1L students who like to study and work on campus and not at your apartment.

A very good option for a student living alone.

The building isn't the newest and there are some times when that shows, but overall it is a solid living space. The apartment has a lot of natural light, the neighbors aren't too noisy when it counts. The location in relation to the school is unbeatable. The staff are also very kind and helpful and my maintenance requests have been resolved very quickly.
I appreciate the amazon hub and 24 hour doorman that keeps track of larger packages. I will say the lack of restaurants and early closing times in the area in general can be a bummer at times.

The apartment is old and a bit outdated but the management is very responsive and you can't beat the location (and you pay for it)

A noisy experience

My three favorite things about this residence are: 1) it is right on campus; 2) the management is friendly and very responsive to your needs; 3) it is lower in cost. The things that you should know are: it’s very noisy, the parking lot near it is expensive, and it’s less modern. The appliances are older. The management is currently updating the building, but not the appliances or the inside of the rooms.

Decent

I live in a decently sized apartment (~600 sq ft) that is decently priced and very conveniently located to the law school. The amenities are okay, but not great, and the neighborhood is very quiet, but not conveniently located to much as far as activities or nightlife or anything.

Do not rent

This apartment has a poor management team. It has been going on with 'projects' that deeply disturbs the enjoyment and peace of a home. I would not recommend this apartment to anyone, and will not live hear again myself. I had water leaking from ceiling, from the floor, a closet rack falling down etc.

Statesman

Decent living. The walls can be a bit thin, so if your neighbors play loud music, generally you will here them (a good number of undergrads live here if you're living here as a grad student), but the building has a quiet policy from 10pm-8am, and I've found neighbors are generally willing to quiet down if they find out they're being too loud. I've found putting carpets on the wood floor and hanging paintings/wall coverings has helped insulate the room from too much noise.

The thing this place has going for it is the amount of space you'll be getting for the rent price. This is the best ratio of space-cost near George Washington University that's not a condo. The downside is you'll be living in an older building, but utilities are included, and you have a 24-hour doorman, so the building is secure, plus an Amazon locker by the loading dock.

It will cost more if you get a street-facing apartment, but I live in a studio facing the inner courtyard and even on a lower floor, I still get decent sunlight, plus I'm insulated from the street noise. There is a garage underneath, but it costs $9 per day if you get a monthly pass. There's also 2 Capital Bikeshare racks within 2 blocks of the building.

Love this area, right near Logan Circle and 14th street which has so much good food and nightlife!
Amazing neighborhood. Close to GW and close to so much good food and nice restaurants.
Sometimes noisy, but the front desk quickly deal with it if you ask
Great, Safe neighborhood with great food and close to campus.
Foggy Bottom/West End are great for 1Ls -- you will get to know the area around school and you will be conveniently within a few blocks of GW. There are a lot of food options, but night life is lacking (though you're a short walk to DuPont and Georgetown). There are plenty of busses and metros around.
Good only in the sense that it is near the school, that you can receive warnings from the school and D.C. (if signing up), that you can be assured of safety generally even if coming in late due to pulling off night studies in the library. However, noise levels are high, so you can hardly study indoors at home because of people wanting to earn money in exchange for their loud and terrible performances. This means that you may ultimately end up outside for work or rest during morning/afternoon. Noise in the evening can be high too due to some people having gone drunk. Noise (some loud trucks and mostly machine sounds) and lights can be too much for sleeping deeply.
It's really only convenient because of how close the law school is. Otherwise, I would not live here. Definitely a business/corporate area that shuts down on the weekends. Not a lot of options for going out to eat unless it's either overpriced or fast food. The only grocery store that's walking distance is Whole Foods, which I personally hate shopping at.
The Aston is the furthest GW housing from the campus, so we had to walk more than any other student to get to class. We are also the furthest away from any Metro station, but still not considerably far when you look at the big picture. There are grocery stores, bars, and restaurants nearby which is a perk, but it is pretty noisy around here. But I guess that's anywhere in Downtown DC. There are always cars honking, ambulance sirens, etc. But the area seems pretty safe.
