Best Public Institutes In Washington Near Me

Danny Hirschfield: I graduated UDC-CC with an AA degree in Liberal Studies Fall Class of 2015 Alumnus. This college really helped me develop my learning skills as I am an older non-traditional student that started as a freshman with very little prior knowledge and discipline in academia. I have transitioned to the UDC flagship campus pursuing my BA degree in Political Science as a pre-law student. This university is the most affordable place to get a good quality education being the only public higher learning institution in Washington, D.C.

Emma Sutter: Went to school here and love this new building. Staff are all helpful and the labs are clean and well maintained. Great little study areas and an awesome place to people watch everyone crossing around the circle.

Carolyn Taylor: This was a enjoyable experience, the seating was great for Covid safety . I would definitely attend an event here again

Dominick Withanachchi: Love the way its situated. If you like a university in a big city, this is one of the best.

Lucas Ramage: The NSLC I went to there was fantastic

fellsteruk: Really pretty building the roof is in the shape of a dove the ultimate symbol of peace

Sharon Winget: The pool and gym are well equipped and clean. Locker room is spacious and clean. Friendly, welcoming place.

Gina Lee Thomas: My daughter is a freshman at Duke Ellington. She has wanted to attend the school since she was six years old. She LOVES it. Duke Ellington School is such a wonderful experience for these children. Kids who are driven by the arts are special. These kids find it difficult to navigate in some school environments. Ellington is a place where they not only survive…they thrive!

Da-Wang Wu: I have several talented colleagues who graduated from Georgetown University, so I always want to visit this school. The campus is very beautiful, especially with the fall foliage. It’s a nice half-day trip to visit the university, the shopping area (mainly on M Street), the canal and the waterfront park.

Patrick Nolan: Great school. Very quant-focused. Strong DC connections.

Mari Campbell: I believe this is a good and decent college plus it is near Fort McNair which i will be going to after i graduate plus its near my Bf college Georgetown University

Maya Byrne: My husband and I held both our wedding ceremony and reception at the Carnegie on Saturday, May 24, 2014. When we began our search for a venue we wanted a venue that was “DC”, but also could accommodate approximately 120 guests and would be convenient for both local and out of town guests. After searching through the many hotels, museums, restaurants, and other venues in D.C. we decided on Carnegie as it was not only elegant, but accommodated all our other requirements in addition to being well priced in comparison. Price: $5,200 Base Cost for 8 hours of use of the Ballroom, Rotunda, Boardroom, Mayor Room, Library and Portico with access to the Kitchen. Use and Access to the Portico is an Additional $800. Additional hours if booked in advance are $300 & if holding your event on a holiday or holiday weekend there is an additional 15% fee. Pros: • Becky, our liaison at Carnegie, was extremely friendly, responsive, and accommodating • No Vendor Restrictions • Temperature is adjusted as appropriate • You can bring your own alcohol (no restriction on red wine) – we used ACE Beverage who we highly recommend • Rotunda works great for ceremony (sat 110 chavari chairs comfortably), dance floor (no need to rent, saving $), and band acoustics Cons: • TINY kitchen with VERY limited refrigeration • Must Rent Everything - Although Carnegie has a number of round and rectangular tables available (no cocktail high tops), you must rent chairs (if you want Chavari) tablecloths, glasses, lighting, etc. • 8 Space Parking Lot – If you need additional spots for vendors you will need to purchase parking permits for the meters located in front and on the side of the building • No bathroom on the 2nd floor – Bathrooms only available on the 1st and 3rd floors, however, there is an elevator • Rotunda must be mopped after use typically causing a late departure for vendors (i.e. $ taken out of deposit) • No outdoor grass space

Praveen Sriram: Stayed here in the summer of 2005 for my internship in Washington DC and the experience was absolutely fabulous with the dining halls and the gym being my favorites. No complaints at all and excellent customer service from the residence hall staff. I sometimes wish I studied Accounting at this university than at the one I studied at. Great school and great residence halls. Highly recommend! A+

Dawn Peters: Not a place to visit... It was an empty beautiful building. There is a giant Albert Einstein for a great photo opt.
