Why Georgetown: I felt the fellows graduating became rigorously competent in all aspects of the field. Also the faculty have so much to offer in terms of teaching and skills. I knew exactly what I would be getting.

Favorite thing about DC: Big city but entails a lot of diversity in scenery. Each neighborhood has its own identity and people. Also it is close to neighboring areas of Maryland and Virginia which also are great places to spend time. I didn't want to be in a city that's a concrete jungle and too crowded.
