Just saw this recently in one of the threads.

Why is it seen as a bad thing here at DCUM?

(I grew up overseas where this isn't a bad thing.. in fact, it was seen as a good thing)

It is exactly why most area kids do not want to attend state schools (UVA, VT, WM, UMD) - they want to feel they have lived someone else, and had varying experiences (other than say, spending summer vacations with their grandparents).

couldn't they do that by looking for a job out of the area?[/quote]

Yep.  My VA state school grad is currently interviewing on the west coast.  The assumptions here are so absurd, as usual.[/quote]

What % of VA state school graduates end up working in VA or the DC area?

Your "logic" is really amusing.  Think for a minute about all those CA students who attend CA schools.  Many probably wind up working in CA after graduation.  You're really not making whatever point you think you are.  [/quote]

That was my point. Most people tend to find jobs in the region of their college/university. I don't assume [i]everyone[/i] who goes to a VA state school will end up in VA/DC area but most will.
