The two major breaks for students during the academic calendar are Winter Break and Summer Break, during which the residence halls are closed to Georgetown students. For a variety of reasons, students may need to stay in Washington, DC. To address the needs of students who may experience housing instability during these scheduled breaks student leaders Axel Abrica C’25, and Josh Anderson, alongside other students and administrators, formalized Georgetown’s Bridge Housing Program in 2021.

Please Note: ALL Hilltop Residents must have moved out no later that December 21st for Winter Break. If you are approved for Bridge Housing, you will move into your break assignment also on December 21st. More information on move out procedures can be found through Residential Living.
