<p>interestingly enough, when i was at tulane al gore, colin powell, and obama, all spoke on campus…</p>
<p>but, my friends wanting to get into politics did find it necessary to move to dc after graduating, and so far have had varying levels of success. although i will say my most successful friend attended indiana and only did one summer internship in washington before being offered a full-time position upon graduation. did he have all the networking and connections from going to school in dc? no. i think what it came down to was who he is as a person.</p>
<p>obviously american would offer more of these opportunities and networking than tulane. the question is, is that important enough to him? it will be interesting to see what he decides after visiting american again!</p>
