[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Well, OP, as you can see from this thread, this is what people are like in the DC area. Your kid may want to factor this into their college search! 😆 [/quote]

Nope.  You’re wrong.  This is what people are like when they’re NOT from the DC area, but work for a few years in the area while hiding in the suburbs and then pretend to be experts on DC itself while pushing for their alma mater that has no relevance to OP’s question.

This. It’s like someone living in Brooklyn Heights and working in the financial district for several years and then chiming in on Columbia’s location because they were up that way once.[/quote]

If Foggy Bottom was a more attractive neighborhood, I would have spent more time there.  I also lived for a summer at Dupont Circle - and that is a more fun neighborhood than Foggy Bottom - I repeatedly visited it after moving out.  So is Georgetown.  I admit as a short female, I'm skittish about places where I might want to walk alone at night and don't feel fully safe.  Gibbering vagrants are not my fave.  Another fave DC memory is riding the bus from Georgetown to the middle of DC in broad daylight, hearing 3 fellow passengers discussing their next robbery and past successes.  New York subway in Manhattan has seemed better to me than some of my DC bus rides.  Also preferred NYC's taxis to what DC used to offer.

I know there are urban dwellers who are unfazed by this stuff.  There are plenty of people like me as well who need or want to be a bit more cautious. [/quote]
