Georgetown University
“I attended Georgetown University from 2018 to 2022, and I absolutely loved my experience in DC. During my time there, I collaborated closely with Dining Services and the Office of Disability Services to secure medically necessary accommodations for my food allergies. As a freshman, this meant access to a single room; by sophomore year, I was approved for an on-campus apartment with a kitchen, which allowed me to safely prepare my own meals—something that was especially important as a Division I athlete. While I did eat in the dining hall and generally felt safe, having a private kitchen significantly improved my quality of life and sense of independence. Georgetown’s dining hall includes an allergy-friendly station, but if your allergens fall outside the top nine, the options there may not be fully safe. I navigated the dining hall by selecting carefully from various stations, though I avoided the upstairs restaurant-style areas. I also occasionally grabbed coffee from on-campus shops. One of the best aspects of attending Georgetown is its location—Washington, D.C. offers a wide range of allergy-friendly restaurants and grocery stores, which made living with food allergies much more manageable. My overall experience at Georgetown was incredibly positive, and I truly can’t recommend the school enough. College with food allergies presents real challenges, but it is absolutely possible to have a safe, empowering, and transformational experience.”
