I guess somewhere outside the city would be ok.. I've been to the east coast but never around that area before. ahrara what UC are you going to; I'm not sure all of them have UCDC... I know UCSD, LA, and Berkeley I believe have it but am not sure about the others.

1st choice is berkeley, my safe schools are davis and irvine.

no travis is wrong

southeast DC is very poor, NW DC is very rich, the rest of it is becoming gentrified

DC have some huge black neighborhoods. A lot of those area are low income. I am sure there are cheaper houses there.

for around that price range you can get a pretty decent place in a pretty decent area. if you want lower prices you can try looking in NE/E and even just outside of the city - by metro, it's maybe only ~20 minutes from the outskirts to the mall. the metro itself is really nice too, don't overlook it

I grew up in a really ghetto neighborhood, can't be all that bad

my grandfather just retired from the police a few years back, and he worked in DC. They used to give escorts out of the bad sections of DC to white people. some places are pretty bad... anacostia for example..

I'm not sure the other UC's procedures, but for UCSD basically there's an application, you need a resume, a letter of intent, and 2 rec letters... then you turn everything in and they just pick 15 or w/e kids (I think people from any major can do it). You live in UC housing for the quarter, and after if/when you get accepted into the program you look for an internship in the area (you can intern ANYWHERE) ... and while you're in DC I think you take 1-2 BS classes along with the internship seminar and you're supposed to write a research paper (pretty lengthy I believe) about wherever you intern'd or whatever..

I'm not 100% sure of the details of what goes on when you're actually there, just full time intern+1 other class or something.
