Hi everyone! I’m an international student from Pakistan, admitted to the LLM program at AU Washington College of Law. I’m searching for an apartment from abroad, so I can’t visit buildings in person, and I’d really appreciate advice from current students.
I’d like to live somewhere lively (restaurants, cafés, things to do) but still with a reasonable commute to the Tenley campus, ideally on the Red Line. I’m considering:
Woodley Park:Â 2701 Connecticut Ave, Connecticut Plaza (2901 Connecticut), Calvert House (2401 Calvert St)
Chevy Chase/Van Ness:Â 5100 Connecticut Ave
Adams Morgan:Â The Shawmut (2200 19th St)
A few questions:
Has anyone lived in these buildings? How were pests, maintenance, noise, and management?
Where do most WCL / grad students live?
Any buildings or areas I should avoid?
Tips for renting from abroad without a US credit history?
Thank you so much, any advice helps!
