<p>Hi, you wrote to me about the negatives of GW and positives of PItt. (I don’t know how to reply in a private message.) We just returned from Pitt and my d. had a fabulous experience and will probably attend–especially as the price tag will be nominal and at gw huge–despite some scholarship money at GW/ Pitt certainly has a more real city (less gentrified and official city) feel than d.c. However, as a life time resident of the suburbs as you are too, I would not exactly agree with your assessment. I find D.C. very exciting for all kinds of reasons, but, again, I see the charm of Pitt. Not sure what you mean about ethnic and international possibilities at Pitt. Would love to hear from you concerning this. In any case, my d. will probably be at Pitt next year though there is still a small chance she will choose GW</p>
