I am checking it out for a phd program in political science. what are the campus and students like? Is it crazy liberal like georgetown? Is there a decent availability of housing for students around campus?

GWU is a well respected university that is, like Georgetown, a middle of the road institution that tends to attract a lot of politically active students of all types, due to its location in D.C. A student who was ideologically political rather than pragmatically political would be better off at Liberty University or Oral Roberts. A grad student at GWU would be in constant dialogue about public issues. He wouldnt be able to hide in a closet and complain about the Democrats being traitors.
GWU is located in downtown Washington, literally blocks from the Whitehouse and Capitol. It is an urban landscape, but not a bad one. And the National mall and lots of greenspace exists along the river and in the various parks.
