How often do y'all go to DC?

Honestly, how much people “take advantage” of being so close to DC is an individual thing. If you’ve never been and you’re the adventurous type, you’ll probably go more often - especially when the weather is nice. If you get an internship in DC, you’ll go more often during the day/week. If you want the social scene or museums you’ll go more often at night/weekends. Depends what you’re looking for, and who you go with. Museums are all free, so that’s a bonus. It’s very easy to get there - maybe 10-15 minutes (?) (not including wait time) and depending on which stop you get off at. The National Zoo is a little longer to get to (outskirts) but worth doing also. Other cool road trips that are a little longer include Inner Harbor in Baltimore (nothing like the National Aquarium in Baltimore - they even have dolphin shows!) and Busch Gardens in Virginia! If you’re not the adventurous type, there’s plenty to do on campus, and you’re more likely to get to DC just on occasion or with organized group trips.
