<p>That is true. I guess we were concerned with the preceived difficulty of interviewing/locating jobs in DC while 3000 miles to the west. He sure does like the school. Is your son’s housing within walking distance to the school? That is "safe’ walking distance? $700/mo. is much better than we had found, but then again, we looked at housing that was only a few blocks away from the campus because he won’t have car. What we found would have cost him $1600 (shared) to $3200/mo. single occupancy, and that would be with a 12 month lease a opposed to a “school year” or semester lease.</p>
