Living as an Apolitical Hill Intern
By Meghan Durfee
Spring 2015
As a business student with zero interest in American politics (or anything politics-related really), you might think it bizarre that I chose to study abroad in Washington, DC. You might also be puzzled to learn that I intern on Capitol Hill for a congressman from my home state. Hopefully by the end of this post you will have a better understanding my motivations for doing so.

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
