Does anyone on here (esp G-Town students) know the easiest airport to get to Georgetown campus, among Dulles, Ronald Reagan national, and Baltimore....Dulles seems to be the cheapest but i think i remember someone saying Ronald Reagan was MUCH closer!

If you land at Dulles you will be about 35 miles west of G-town. Use that extra cost of getting there to the trip. National is right there in DC. If I recall there is a bus system from Dulles to DC, but I have no idea of the cost or ease of use. I used to have a place 5 miles from Dulles. Good luck down there.

Reagan is by far the best airport to fly into. BWI/Dulles are both at least 45 minutes away from Gtown.

At the airport, use the metro rail to go to the rosslyn stop on the blue line.

There, you have a few options:

1) Walk across the bridge that crosses the Potomac. the Georgetown campus is a 20-25 minute walk from Rosslyn.

2) Use the Georgetown Shuttle. It leaves from Rosslyn every 20 minutes or so. It costs $1 if you are not a Gtown student

3) Use a taxi

Here is the metro rail map:

Reagan is definitely the easiest and closest to Gtown. However, it is usually the most expensive. If I had to choose between BWI and Dulles, I would go with Dulles. There is a metro bus that will pick you up and drop you off at the Rossyln Metro. If you get off there it is about a 15 minute walk to Gtown (you have to walk across the Key Bridge). If you fly into National, it is also about a 15 minute walk to Gtown. But I do think there is a shuttle that runs to Gtown that will drop you off near M Street and Wisconsin. But you will still have to walk up to the campus.
