You can’t control where you grew up. They were smart enough to leave.

No, but most that I know plan to move back when they have kids.

People in DC are trained to believe that DC is superior to everywhere else -- that's why they have to disparage other places like this. Criticisms like urban sprawl, lacks character, etc. -- these apply to DC also, but folks here will never acknowledge it because then they'd be admitting that they're paying tons of money to live in a pretty soulless, high-crime area with terrible housing stock and schools that aren't as good as those in other areas.

Kind of like Ohio, everyone looks the same in Indiana: light brown hair, little bit of scruff, little overweight, very pale.

“Student body looks respectful and polite?” This reads strange or maybe English is not your first language? If the latter, not sure international students would feel at home in this area.
