Getting to DC
By Air The Washington region is served by three major airports: Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport Dulles International Airport Baltimore-Washington International Thurgood Marshall Airport Reagan Washington National Airport in suburban Virginia is closest and most convenient to the University. From the airport, you can hop on a Metrorail train or take a taxi directly to the Foggy Bottom Campus. Dulles International Airport is more distant in the Virginia suburbs. You may want to rent a car, take a taxi or use the Washington Flyer shuttles to get into the city. There is not yet direct rail transport from Dulles to Washington, D.C.
