This place was terrible and overpriced, I had to move out after a few weeks. The rent price included 2 meals per day, but the food was so bad. I often had to eat out; management was very very slow in addressing residents issues, and the Wi-Fi is only strong in some part of the building

Highly, highly recommend this place to all the international as well as domestic students and/or young professionals who find themselves in DC. You’ll feel right at home!

Experience: double for a month in Van Slyck hall during the month of September Pros: Relatively affordable Food (breakfast and dinner) Proximity Kind staff and students Shared supplies Group events Democratic in terms of menu selection Cleanliness for bathrooms is pretty decent (shared) Quiet, limited noise issues Cons: Poor responsiveness from management Initially sneaky fees (application ($50 one-time), linen ($75, one-time), resident services ($85, one-time) Overcrowded shared fridges Quality of food is highly variable Wifi is close to absent in some rooms including the one I lived in Breakfast is later than ideal (0 food available at 6 AM) Mismatched furnishings in rooms Residents can be temperamental Several laundry machines do not work (cold setting, laundry comes out hot) Only one microwave for warming food Yes I understand it is dorm style living. Doesn't mean you should lower your expectations so steeply.

Questions & Answers

Is parking available?

Hi Kim, I am one of the Resident Managers and can confirm that parking is not available. Public transportation in DC is very good and ISH-DC is only a five minute walk from the Dupont Circle Metro, which is on the red line. If a personal vehicle is a must, there is plenty of street parking (Zone 2) in the neighborhood and a few parking garages in the area. Spot Hero (https://spothero.com/) could be helpful.
