[quote=Anonymous]People talk about it as if it's poison, but it has one of the best university locations in the world.

It seems as if, given the way financing works these days, it might have happier, better-paid faculty than some of the fancy private colleges in the area.

The list of programs the university offers is impressive.

UDC should have a fairly easy time attracting faculty members who need interesting jobs that don't lead to shrieks about revolving doors and conflicts of interest.

So, anyhow, what are the classes and research at UDC really like?

If UDC is fine: Maybe people who know that should come here and do more to promote it.

If UDC is not good, why?

If the main problem is that many students come in with a weak high school education, why isn't there a way to address that? It seems as if the total amount of extra money D.C. residents spend to send children to public universities outside of the district might far exceed the cost of improving UDC's pre-college prep programs.

If the real problem is with the administration, couldn't D.C. go out and hire better administrators?
