[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A lot better public college options in Virginia, so keep that in mind. You’re going from a state with UVA, Tech, W&M, and GMU to a state with UMD and not much else.

Takoma Park is nice, but way more isolated than Alexandria. Isolated from the museums in DC, isolated from major malls and shopping areas and a lot of other stuff. It’s even 30 minutes to get to Bethesda from there. [/quote]

That's true about the public universities. Virginia might be the best state in the country on that front, although getting into UVA from NoVa is damn near impossible now for most students.

But I disagree about Takoma Park being more isolated. There is a metro stop that goes right downtown to where the museums are. I take the metro down with my kids. It is easy to metro to Union Station and DCA. I consider isolation from the "major malls and shopping areas" to be a good thing, but there is plenty of major retail close by. Bethesda is 20 minutes away, but I don't really care about that, and it is at least that far from Alexandria. Anyway, I can't imagine seeing Takoma Park as isolated from anything in the DC area.[/quote]
