Any pros &/or cons for Boston vs DC would be appreciated.

Hey Bill,
I'm glad you are considering NYLF as a way to spend your summer. It's an AMAZING opportunity, and you will not regret it.
I attended the forum in D.C. and I strongly encourage this to be your selection.

-Housing at the University of Maryland: beautiful campus! The dorms are huge. They are suites and apartments, with approx. 5 people per apartment.
-Food is delish! If you don't like it, there is Chipotle, McDonalds, Noodles&Co, Starbucks, Panda Exp, ChickfilA, etc in walking distance.
-The buildings/classrooms are great.
-The speakers are amazing!
-Tour D.C... all museums, monuments, whitehouse...etc
<b>-Best part: You are within one hour of America's BEST medical schools: Johns Hopkins, Georgetown, Va. Commonwealth, etc... you will get to visit them, meet the dean of admissions, tour, talk to students, and even learn mini-lessons from them!
-You get to do awesome clinical rotations. I went to Inova Hospital in Fairfax and watched an ENTIRE live open heart surgery! AWESOME!</b>
-The weather in D.C. in summer is beautiful EVERYDAY! Boston has a lot of showers.
-Closing night, you go on a dinner cruise, on an actual million dollar yacht, and have a wonderful dinner, an awesome dance (just like a club) and sail down the Potomac River into a sunset. it's perfect!
-The students are nice
-The faculty is marvelous
-Ice cream socials, 2 dances, courtyard parties...etc
Cons:
-D.C. is very hilly! There is A LOT of walking. I mean like 3 miles sometimes, maybe all uphill.


<b>CHOOSE D.C. YOU WILL LOVE LOVE LOVE IT!</b>
Not lying though, the walks are worth it! Plus, your calves will be muscle in no time, haha!

It all depends on where you want to go.
