Where are they now?
Curious about where people really end up after completing a semester on the UCDC program? The UCDC Alumni maintain a list highlighting just a few of the paths chosen by the program's participants. View the list here.
DC Blogs
The number of DC blogs per capita is astounding. With so many to choose from, it's impossible to go very long without finding one that suits your tastes. Wrirting on politics, local events, food, fashion, dating, gossip and odd combinations of everything in between, DC bloggers seem to have covered all the bases. Blogs are a great way for future UCDCers to get acquainted with their new homes, and for alumni to reflect nostalgically on life in the District. With so many to choose from, here are a few recommendations to guide your search:
Wonkette is a staple for politically incorrect Hill gossip.
For local events, entertainment and dining recommendations, try DCist.
DC City Blog serves as a great insiders guide to the best food and nightlife DC has to offer.
Covering a full spectrum of local news issues, Metroblogging Washington can replace perusing mainstream news sources' local coverage.
DC Goodwill Fashions highlights great finds discovered in this thrift store chain - useful for both the vintage fashionista and the struggling college student.
DC Metro Action provides activists with information on local events and volunteer opportunities.
Food and politics meet at on the DC Foodies blog.
If none of these options seem to do the trick, this complete list of DC blogs should do the trick - or start your own!
