DC Perspective
by Alexandra Warren (Fall 2016)
Washington DC is unlike any city I have ever been to. I did my best to take the time to explore the city this semester, and I think I was able to get a feeling for the culture. It took me a while to figure out how I feel about DC. As I walked around the various neighborhoods, I noticed that each one had a very different feel to it. More

Four Places in 31 Minutes

The walk from the classroom building on Massachusetts Ave to the Debonair on 24th street is approximately 31 minutes long, and although that can seem quite dreadful after a long day at your internship followed by a roughly three hour class, you’d be surprised how many hidden gems you can find along the way.
1. Bethesda Bagels
Located about about 10 minutes away from the classroom building, Bethesda Bagels is the perfect place for breakfast right before class (disclaimer: BUDC does at times provide free lunch during the internship course, but you need to splurge on this at least once while you’re here). At Bethesda Bagels, you can order pretty much whatever your heart desires. From 23 different types of homemade bagels with over 18 spread options, Bethesda Bagels is the best place for breakfast or lunch. More

The Crock Pot Chili Recipe Every Twenty-Something Needs

Fall 2015
College students, and especially those of us in the BUDC program are always on the go which means that we don’t have much time to cook for ourselves, hence late-night Ramen packets and ordering Dominos at our low points (we’ve all been there). Ordering out and eating processed foods is never as satisfying as a home cooked meal, not to mention it’s absolutely terrible for you which is why I am the biggest advocate for using a crockpot. This foolproof pot of magic does all of the work for you, and it’s a perfect way to put together meals for the week while you’re tackling homework on Sundays. More

How to make the most of Boston University’s alumni network

Fall 2015
Boston University has over 300,000 alumni, a large portion of whom have ended up in the DC Metro Area. While studying and interning in the Nation’s capitol, taking advantage of local alumni is a great way to expand your professional network.
A good starting point is Boston University’s own Alumni Directory Application (http://www.bu.edu/alumni/careers/alumni-directory-app/). The app helps current and past students find fellow Terriers by industry and location. If apps aren’t your thing, BU also has a web directory set up. In addition, there is a specific alumni division for those in the DC area. Check out the BUDC alumni website (http://www.dcbualum.com) for more information. The BU Washington Alumni Twitter account (https://twitter.com/BUDCAlumni) posts frequently about upcoming events, outstanding alumni and news from campus. More
