I prefer city living and being able to walk places so I picked DC but with that commute might be better to live out there p

Lots of suburbs for families. If no family maybe Arlington

How often would you actually be in the Woodbridge office...?
I would say Arlington or Alexandria if city life is appealing to you, if not, just live down there, much cheaper, no commute, etc

I’m interning in Alexandria but Springfield or Alexandria should be convenient to you. Don’t make the same mistake as I have of living in MD

Don't do it. If you are tied to the city, do not live outside of it.

If you don’t have a family, live in DC or Arlington. If you do, Alexandria or Annandale

Reach out for drinks when you move

I’ve been reading more about how there’s a difference between how men socialize and how women socialize at work. There’s a school of thought that says that men are “friends” outside of work with their coworkers so they are more likely to lift each other at work. Women however are more likely to separate their work friends and their social friends. I think I fall in this group. Cont in comment
