So I've been in DC for 2 days visiting PhD programs at Georgetown and Catholic University and deciding which one I want to attend. I know I can't afford to live by Georgetown and I don't want to live by Catholic.
So where are a couple of good areas in DC to get an apartment in a safe part of town with access to Metro? I've heard Columbia Heights and Mt. Pleasant are good neighborhoods...keep in mind that Universities are perhaps the only establishments that believe people can live on a yearly income that is below the poverty line.
Any and all advice is greatly appreciated folks!
