[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't see one post that suggests it's impossible and OP should absolutely not do it! Just stay down south and forget her dreams of law school and American U!

Are we reading the same thread?[/quote]

I know, I'm reading a thread where the very first reply starts off like this:

[quote] My, I wished you'd thought that one through much more before making the decision to move into DC with children and no support system in place (an assumption given that you're asking strangers on a msg board for advice on housing). [/quote]

And yet, I got accused of being the first person to post anything negative.

You shouldn't take words out of context. Placed in its entire context-and even extracted and isolated as you've done in your post--those words basically mean "Difficult but doable". I wish you'd thought that through before making a decision to move to DC with children and no support system in place=sound advice.

Sure we can all cheer "Good for you! You go girl! Here are some addresses" but the reality is that DC is a very tough place to live, particularly with small children. The schools are some of the worst in the nation and so are the crime rates. Add to that the weight of law school and trying to do it alone. OP needs to have some real facts before making that move.[/quote]
