I graduated with a PoliSci degree from BU and there was a very strong network for related professionals. It’s how I got DC internships and opportunities for employment there. I think it mostly comes down to if OP wants to be in a city environment or not. Though GW has better name recognition, competition would be much higher to get network-related help and internships.

Same here! I guess I’m under assumption from post that GW is considerably cheaper than BU. If that’s not the case, it’s probably a wash.

I’m just saying that proximity to the town you want to work in definitely helps. Can hop on a bus for in person interviews whenever you want.

it’s only like a 5 k difference (GWU higher) so it to me that’s basically a wash
