<p>Between Temple University in Philadelphia and George Washington in DC, which should I choose for political science? I see the following pros/cons</p>

<p>Temple</p>

<p>Pros:
Cheaper
Commute (which I like)
In the city I plan to work/run for office
More useful internships that would allow me to network and obtain jobs in the city I desire</p>

<p>Cons:
Not as connected with the government compared to George Washington
Not as prestigious as George Washington
Not as many internship opportunities</p>

<p>GW</p>

<p>Pros:
More prestigious
More/better internships</p>

<p>Cons:
Cost
Could prove useless if I try to go to Philadelphia and compete with graduates who have networked there already.</p>

<p>If money is an issue, then Temple should be fine. But if it isn’t, then go to GWU. It’ll be better for internships and job opportunities.</p>
