Running Through the 202
by Taryn Ottaunick (Fall 2016)
I’ve always believed that the best way to engage with a city is to run through it. Although I started running in my hometown in New Jersey, I did not really get into the sport until I began going to Boston University. More
The Loudest City with the Quietest Voice
by Christina Lucas (Summer 2016)
This summer I had the opportunity to become a part of the Washington D.C. community, culture, and politics. By the end of the summer, I had mastered the art of running down the escalator to catch the 8:50am train, engaged in numerous presidential candidate debates, and volunteered at the local elementary schools.

Dining in DC—Good Japanese Food
Weiran Cheng
Summer 2015
Before I came to DC, one of my friends who had visited DC told me it was a really boring city. She said, “It’s just a city where people go to work and you’ll find there’s not many good restaurants.” Since I like dining out and exploring good Japanese food, what she said really disappointed me. However, after two months of searching and trying new food, my friend in this program and I have both found special and very good Asian dining places in the city. The restaurants standards and modern style really go beyond my expectations.
In the following paragraphs, I will introduce some good Japanese food in the Adams Morgan and Dupont Circle area, which are convenient and close to the Debonair.

Music to My Ears
By Alyssa Lodge
Spring 2015
I love music—it is so special because it has the ability to evoke an indescribable feeling of inspiration, emotion, and hope that you can’t find in anything else. Recently, one of my hobbies has been finding singer/songwriter artists that have a lot of talent and not much recognition—I have found that some of the best artists are not those whose name appears in lights outside of a stadium.
Lucky for me, I have spent the semester in DC where one of its “claims to fame” is the music scene and I have been fortunate enough to stumble upon several wonderful artists while I have been here. The music and the atmosphere of the venues that I have come across compliment one another and make for quite the experience.

Hot Spot Study Spaces
By Meghan Durfee
Spring 2015
Something that you might pick up on shortly after starting classes is that it can be difficult to get even the simplest tasks done at the Debonair. For me, there is always the temptation of a Netflix marathon or baking some sort of treat. Consequently, I quickly learned that there are great spots throughout the city to spend a morning or an afternoon crossing off some things on your never-ending to do lists!
- Tryst is an awesome specialty coffeehouse located in Adams Morgan, just a quick 15-minute walk away from the Debonair. It has a very relaxed vibe, quite similar to a boutique version of Pavement Coffehouse. There are communal tables, comfy couches, and secluded window seats to kick start some homework for the week. I would recommend visiting on a Friday morning; it’s not overly crowded and the WiFi is free. They also have an awesome brunch menu if you work up an appetite studying.
Tryst’s ambiance is extremely conducive for some studying! Photo Credit: www.trystdc.com
