Good walking shoes! You will do a lot of walking in the city.

Fall and spring semester students are welcome to ship items to the LCWS office prior to their arrival. Most students find this easier than trying to carry everything on a plane or bus when moving to D.C. at the start of the semester. We receive packages regularly from UPS, FedEx, and USPS. Please address the package to yourself, and add "Care of (c/o): LCWS." For example:
Student Name
c/o LCWS
1025 Arlington Blvd.
Arlington, VA 22209
We will ensure all student packages will be in your apartment in Avalon upon arrival in D.C. at the start of the semester.
