Will you do one on dc and surrounding vs richmond?

[@livingindc]

Possibly? I don't serve Richmond if I'm being honest since its several hours away. I do have a great agent there if you need to speak with someone locally. Housing costs significantly less there than DC.

I have been living in Philadelphia and hate it I was accepted into temple George mason and American ultimately chose temple in Philly but there is to much crime I was told that I can still transfer to one of the 2 schools in the DMV area I am going to go with George mason everyone was amazing friendly and my dad is getting a really nice job with the cable company RCN I am going to need to find a good place to live in a decent neighborhood with good public transit and a safe community I’m a huge hockey fan and I have invested into caps season tickets
