I havent started looking yet, but I have lived there before (one summer for an internship in college), and additionally I have a couple of friends who live there currently (one works there (non-attorney), and the other is about to graduate from Georgetown Law (JD). I don't know if you're interested or not, but I'm pretty interested in the idea of a roommate. D.C. is pretty expensive, and living with more than yourself can provide a big help in curbing the costs. Would you be interested?

hi texasaggie, thanks for your offer but i think i am more comfortable living on my own. besides, my family visit me ALOT so i don't think you'll like it too much when my relatives are around all the time! but do let me know if you find something good. we can always be neighbors! =)

Might as well throw my hat into the roommate ring...hoping to get onto into the residence there (it's near the gym and saves me looking for a place), but I might end up looking for a roommate.

"Stats"
-Canadian
-25
-personally would rather live with 3-4 people (had some pretty brutal roommates in the past...like the buffer people)
-won't be arriving in D.C until about 26 Aug 'cause I got a few things going on around that time

Dupont Circle is a nice area, and it's near the "red line" Metro station which will whisk you to GULC in a few minutes.

hm, I have just landed a job in DC so I will be looking for a place in Foggy Bottom. I have always lived as a student i.e. roommated with somebody, so the prospective of living on my own as a *young professional* is pretty daunting. Anybody interesting in flat sharing in that area?

I'm open to discussions for sure. I actually lived right by the Foggy Bottom Metro Stop during one summer in college while I interned for a congressman.

Stats: Ah, heck, here's my myspace page:

See for yourself.

Apartment in DC seems quite expensive.

I will attend summer course in GULC and will live in dorm all July. But it seems unlikely to live on campus from August on. Hope that I can find roommate and apart in July.

I have been in DC for almost 10 years now and have lived in lots of different areas of the city.

Foggy Bottom is nice, but it is on the blue/orange line. That means you will either have to walk to a red line station or switch at metro center. There might be a bus, but I don't know which one.

I currently live in Dupont and it is a great area. Close walk to Foggy Bottom and Gtown and close to Adams Morgan and other fun night hang outs.

If anyone has any questions about areas of DC I would be more then happy to answer them.

Hi, Andrew. Thank you for your info.

It seems Dupont circle will be a good choice.

How about the rent rate there? Single room efficiency.

Rents are a little high right now. You are prob looking 1100-1300 for a efficiency.

I would just check craigslist to get an idea.

Also, a friend sent me this about opening in an apt cause she is moving. I don't know the guy who lives there but it looks like a nice place.

Dupont Circle is the most expensive place to live in DC.

Convenience + cool neighborhood = premium price.

Andrew, the apart showed via the link looks quite nice. Thanks.

But the rent rate is higher than I expected...

I've also been searching the net for an apartment for me, my wife and my 1 year old..

Im from the Philippines and will be taking up LLM in GULC this fall...

I would prefer living near GULC and somewhere safe so my wife and kid can go take walks around...

any suggestions? Where should I look and how long does apartment hunting take ? I plan to take up the foundations of law program which will start before september...So i intend to go to the US 2 weeks before to go apartment hunting....

a friend who lives in maryland told me to check washingtonian apartments though..
