Life in D.C.

Cornell in Washington’s Wolpe Center is located at 2148 O Street NW, in the heart of Dupont Circle, a historic district known for its architecture.

There’s lots to discover here, from inviting bistros and interesting shops to museums and the Dupont Circle fountain, a great place to enjoy the outdoors.
