<p>Sorry, running wild with the acronyms there. UMCP = University of Maryland College Park. It’s my state school.</p>
<p>Thanks for your opinion. As far as international relations are concerned, I’m pretty sure Columbia at least matches Georgetown, what with the UN and all. But as far as domestic politics (the area that I’m most interested in)? I’m sure both have fabulous political science schools, I’m just not sure if having that distance from where it’s all happening is something that people end up regretting or being disappointed by - whether in terms of internships or jobs, or for other reasons related to the major.</p>
<p>Any current Columbia polisci majors care to mention if they looked at D.C. schools as well, and what helped them make their decision?</p>
