George Washington University has also caught my interest, though the perspective I'm getting from recent students seem to imply mainly those who are rich can happily attend the university.
I've looked at a LOT of schools. Coming from a low-income home, a place where I could be comfortable is a must. However, almost all schools talked about on CC are generally very wealthy or at least very, very middle class. That said, GWU has intense need-based aid (but no guarantees). DC is also not as expensive as a city as it sounds. That said, I would rank GW more financially comfortable for lower-middle and low-income students than some other schools, notably any of the Ivies and almost all of the other very urban schools. But since I love GW, I'm probably biased.
