GW will provide housing for all students forced to stay in D.C. past Monday’s 5 p.m. residence hall closure deadline due to the weekend’s heavy snowfall, a University administrator said Sunday.

Students unable to find transportation home should e-mail [email protected], and will receive notification from GW Housing Programs on Monday with information on where they can stay, said Seth Weinshel, director of GW Housing Programs.

“We will work with each and every student that can not get out by 5 p.m. to find them someplace to stay,” Weinshel said in an e-mail. “We will not leave any student without a space to stay.”

The University was forced to extend the housing deadline to Monday, after this weekend’s blizzard dropped nearly a foot and a half of snow in and around the District, canceling hundreds of flights and trains, and leaving more than 1,000 students stuck on campus.

This news comes as a relief to sophomore Ali Lozano, who was unable to find a flight home to Los Angeles until Tuesday evening.

Lozano – who was supposed to fly out of D.C. on Saturday, but had her flight canceled due to the storm – said the snow was fun for a while, but added that the frustrating travel situation put a damper on experience.

“Its been really fun at times, but when your fun in the snow is over, you just kind of want to be home,” Lozano said.

Senior Chris Reeve agreed with Lozano. He said he was stuck in the airport nearly all day Saturday, after his flight was canceled and there were no modes of transportation back to campus due to the heavy snowfall.

“Obviously it wasn’t fun,” Reeve said. “It seemed like I might be stuck there until Monday because there were no cabs or anything. For a while it was stressful, but then I retired to airport bar and made friends there. There was a sense of camaraderie.”

Reeve, who is also on his way to LA, said he was able to find a flight home on Alaska Airlines on Monday.

But others were not as lucky.

Junior Zach Hanover’s plans to fly to Utah for a skiing trip with some friends in his fraternity were foiled, after the airlines were unable to find him a flight.

Hanover said his first flight was canceled Saturday. He was then rebooked on a flight scheduled for Sunday morning, which was subsequently canceled as well.

Hanover said he now has plans to drive home to Memphis, Tenn., with his cousins, who go to the University of Maryland.
