Though I have actually only been to downtown once in the half decade I've lived here, I'm going to be contrarian and say you could do it. If you're living here for 2 months, working long hours, with laundry/gym/grocery within walking distance of your house or work, you'll be fine. There is public transportation, including a subway in downtown, and bus lines to leave the area. You need to take a taxi if you're going out drinking anyway, and the bus will suffice for when you want to go to the beach on the weekends.

Omerta posted:Where did you go? I went to Furman (06-10). Are you from SC originally? I grew up in the area and had a few friends who went there, though I think most of them would've been Class of 09. Also I have to say, the more I hear anybody talk about LA the less I ever want to even think about going anywhere near there.

Macnigore posted:I've already asked, I dont know if you missed it. What program did you get in ? Which school/city ? I was accepted to Euromed Management in Marseille. I don't want to give out too many details over the internet. I was also accepted into several other programs. I got into Ecole de Management Grenoble (EM Grenoble) and Cologne Business School. I thought about going to EM Grenoble, for a particular masters its ranked #26 in Europe. I could have done it, but Grenoble is too f'ing cold and its a tiny city. Marseille is 1 million + people and the school is #38. My body will thank me in the winter.

There are a few bus lines that go by work, so I could live in a variety of different places. However, so far I've only found furnished places on Craigslist that are like $2500 a month. 1. What are you willing to pay? 2. What commute do you want? What commute will you put up with? What amount of amount makes you ambivalent between the two options? 3. Do you want to be in a fun area? 4. Do you need to be in a safe area? Captainscraps's advice is pretty bad. I guess its technically more true than not, but still not very accurate. Foggy bottom isn't a bad place to work as far as accessibility goes. In addition to bus lines, you've got 3 metro lines that should be coming pretty close to your place of work.

atlas of bugs posted:only way to shop Greenpoint's nice. The G train sucks though and you'll probably walk from Bedford on the L a lot. I'm actually going up there this weekend. Edit: And with Foggy Bottom, just look on Padmapper for cheap places from which you can get to Foggy Bottom pretty easily. Or if you want to live somewhere cool, live somewhere in or near the triangle formed by the Shaw, Columbia Heights, and Dupont Circle stations. Then you can walk to almost anywhere worth going in DC and don't have to worry about the metro closing. MoFauxHawk fucked around with this message at 05:38 on Apr 7, 2011 |

You can get massive amounts of leverage on Forex, 100-1 is not uncommon and can easily wipe out your account if you don't know what you are doing.

It's pretty much the only free time they have when they're guaranteed to not be in court doing arraignments or something. Edit: Eminent Domination has been my go-to lawyerly name for things.

Debating virtual office vs. executive suite. Anyone have experience with either one? (note: virtual office means a location to receive mail, have phone answered, meet clients in a conference room but no actual office; it does not mean internet lawyer that will meet you at Starbucks)

Phil Moscowitz posted:In DC for a few, staying near Dupont Cir. Where do I eat? Malaysia Kopitiam near you is pretty good. Lalibela east of you has good Ethiopian food. It's probably not the best Ethiopian in DC, but it's still great and you should have Ethiopian food while you're in DC. Maybe find a pho place too, but I don't know what pho place is good that's in the city and close to a metro stop. Ben's Chili Bowl isn't overrated, but there's always a long line in front of it unless you go pretty late at night. Amsterdam Falafel House in Adams Morgan is great. Also if you get drunk and want a jumbo slice, don't get any of the ones in Adams Morgan because those suck, get one at Angelico's in the U St. Corridor, those are amazing. Edit: The DC area has the best pho on the East Coast and the best Ethiopian food in America so that's why you might want to go out of your way to eat those two types of food.
