Ninety-six students at Georgetown University were hospitalized late Tuesday with bad cases of food poisoning, The Hoya reported.
The students were treated at the Georgetown University Hospital and the university's student health center for nausea, vomiting, diarrhea and dehydration, according to The Hoya.
Georgetown officials believe the students were sickened after eating at Leo J. O'Donovan Dining Hall. Officials have closed the facility indefinitely.
Approximately 3,000 people eat at the dining hall every day, The Washington Post reported.
The D.C. Department of Health has been in contact with health officials in Maryland and Virginia but no similar cases have been reporting, The Hoya reported.
