ZachDelaRocha! I am not announcing I am in DC area right now but.. If you are by yourself, it might be cheaper if you find a room via WWW.CRAIGSLIST.ORG and washingtonpost.com If you have a bunch of other friends coming with you then renting the whole house and splitting the cost might be cheaper instead of an apartment. Refer to CRAIGSLIST and washingtonpost.com again and compare/contrast among options. Wherever you settle, safety should be the most important factor. Ahile lai 'Yeti' nai Pachhi chaahi 'Yak & Yeti' ;p
