In response to the congestion, sans construction on campus, I wouldn’t have it any other way.

The only answer to saving Georgetown University from becoming a human anthill would be for the Medical Center, or the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences, perhaps both, to be relocated, a proposal that has been floated in other venues. Sadly, GU President Leo O’Donovan (1989-2001) was offered the Mount Vernon campus on a silver platter, but he disastrously bungled the negotiations, and GW moved in on the rebound to collect the only college-friendly expansion space in Northwest DC. Alternatively, Georgetown could cap undergraduate enrollment, and then gradually ratchet it down to a level that would lead to less congestion on the campus. GU students today enjoy some great facilities, but the campus is so congested, I’m surprised the University health service doesn’t have to cope with mass traumatic agoraphobia. Poor kids, they have no idea how pleasant and relaxed the Hilltop was with a mere 4500 undergraduates.

The campus plan agreement defines “on campus” as “west of 37th Street.”

C’mon Vox, call people on this bullshit…

“As part of the revised agreement, the University will house an additional 450 students on campus by fall 2015. Sixty-five of those beds will come from relocating the townhouses on the 1400 block of 36th street.”

No, the 65 beds on Magis Row were on-campus already!

“Also, considering that hotel rooms are substantially bigger than typical dorm rooms, the building could contain triples.”

No! Forced triples? Ask AU students how they feel about that! This is not an “also…”!
