Flying to Washington, D.C.

Participants should fly into Ronald Reagan National Airport (DCA) or Dulles International Airport (IAD).  Direct international flights will come into Dulles because Reagan National Airport is only for domestic flights.  You can fly into Reagan National Airport by having a connection flight from some other international airport in the United States.  We suggest you fly into Reagan National Airport because it is closer to the city.

Please do NOT buy your plane ticket until you have received notification of acceptance into the program and have acquired your travel visa.  If you have not received confirmation that your application has been received within a week of submitting it, please contact Dr. John Baker <jsb97@law.georgetown.edu>

Transportation from the Airport to the Hotel

The Program will be arranging buses to pick up participants from IAD and DCA on check-in dates (July 4 for Legal English and July 11 for USCAE).  Buses are arranged and timed according to the flight plans of the participants. The program fee does not include return transportation to either of the airports because many of the students travel by bus or train to New York City and other East Coast cities. For those flying out on the 24th and 25th, we will assist students in organizing trips to the airport.

Lodging

This year, participants will be staying at the Washington Court Hotel.  The hotel is located very near to Georgetown University Law Center.  The address is 525 New Jersey Ave. NW, Washington, D.C. 20001.

Travel Visa

Upon acceptance to the program, necessary documentation for the visa application process for travel to the United States will be provided by the Georgetown Center for the Constitution.  Participants will be coming to the U.S. under a Visitor Visa (B1/B2).  The visa process can be long, so please apply for your visa promptly.

Health Insurance

Participants should apply for their own health insurance.  The Law Center and the Center for the Constitution will not be responsible for medical or dental expenses occurred by participants during the operation of the program.  Upon acceptance, information can be provided about possible health insurance providers.

What to Pack

Upon acceptance to the program, participants will be provided with information about the dress code for the program so that you can pack accordingly.
