Yes totally. I love being in the city vs. outside in general but a short walk to work is huge when working long hours

Definitely worth it to live in DC but I wouldn’t live near “downtown”

Don’t do U St. Too many shootings.

Downtown is TRASH; NE is where it's at (Capitol Hill / NoMa)

I have been looking at the curriculums for Harvard Business School's Master of Business Administration and Harvard Extension School's Master's in Management. They both have the same requirements, generally speaking, including a field immersion course that serves as a capstone in the Master's in Management, which is fairly new. If I am not able to gain admission to Harvard Business School, but wanted a similar educational experience to become a consultant, should I attend Harvard Extension?
