the subway in general was a breeze when i was there for the presidential inauguration back in january.
andyep, the carpet is
you gotta walk maybe 10 mins to get to campus....and what you gotta walk through definitely makes you wanna NOT walk

If you feel like waiting an eternity, you can ride the shuttle bus (which hardly ever comes when you effin' need it) OOOOOOR, make sure you get you a lil' bus transfer once you get off the metro and you can pay like a quater or 35 cent to ride the city bus. Which I highly recommend cuz the 70 is a gauranteed LAUGH. You'll get dropped off right in front of campus. Between the hours of 4-6 is straight....and if I'm not mistaken it may even be discounted.

But yea I might just go to Georgetown alone and or Pentagon Mall just to get out the room then head back and sleep.

it shouldn't take you more than a day of riding to get used to it. even less if you sit down and spend 10 or 15 minutes just looking at the map.
i went to college in northern virginia, so i got to learn the subway system down there pretty quickly.

another nice area to roam around is chinatown...it's a stop right off the greenline. It's the "gentrified" part of town sothat's where the decent lookin' broads of DC be at. I know it's an H&M over there and an american apparel and probably more.Originally Posted by LuckyLuchiano

yeah qft
you can get off at rosslyn, gwu, or dupont and take the blue bus to georgetown. pentagon city (the mall) and chinatown have their own stops. chinatown is onthe red line (gallery place/chinatown stop)...and pentagon city is orange or blue line, i forget.
it's not a bad system once you get used to it. just rode it back to my hotel in md from the wizards game actually

The DC Metro system is one of the easiest you're likely to encounter. Just check out the rail map online and you'll be fine.
Remember, there's no rail stop in Georgetown. Your best bet is to get off at Dupont Circle, then walk down P street over the bridge. Once you hitWisconsin, you'll be right near Major.
If you're gonna be near Howard, check out http://www.everlastinglife.net/Soul Vegetarian Cafe. I'm sure people will provide all types of recommendations on otherrestaurants, sightseeing, and sneaker spots, but as a resident of downtown DC I'm happy to suggest a few things if you like.
Have a great trip!

i feel you on that... i grew up taking nyc transit, so when i moved to virginia for school, learning the subway system down there was a breeze.
if my memory serves me correctly, you can take the orange or blue train to rosslyn and walk over this bridge to get to georgetown. georgetown has a nicelittle harbor area with a few restaurants. i think there's a direct train to the pentagon mall, too. it's been a few years since i moved back to nyc.
