Again. What is your home school ? Why is it it out ? Btw so many schools have DC semesters. Big publics like UGA and SC. And LACs like Hamilton.
Define what you want in a college. You need to be there day after day for four years. You can find governmental or no. Profit internships in most large cities, especially capitals.
As both I and @collegemom3717 point out, money matters. If you provide your stats and addirdability, especially desired, we can perhaps give you more avenues to look at.
I have no doubt that DC schools get more quantity than others. That’s just #s. They have the largest classes.
I went to Syracuse for journalism. They produce lots of journalists. The other 90% are like me….failed…finding success in other places. But the group that produced 10% gives a huge appearance. There are broadcasters from Ball State to Central Michigan to Wesleyan.
Find your right fit …comfort and affordability…especially in a major that itself does not equate to a career. Btw many IR/IS programs…like American and Charleston as an Intl Scholar require a second major. That’s because these are not job ready educations.
