<p>In D.C. world news is local news. It is infused in your life. there are many opportunities for internships, etc either on the Hill or in Govt. agencies. At MD you are not in D.C. but near it. It is close enough that you could do an internship there. That is not to say you won’t have opportunities at tOSU. Going in as an Honors student is something that you should be proud of, and not to be overlooked. This is something that you are going to have to decide for yourself.</p>
