The Differences and Similarities between DC and Boston
By Sarah Cohen
Summer 2014
Prior to arriving in DC, I imagined it to be the almost identical to Boston but just with aggressively political individuals. Sure enough, I was spot on about the characteristics of DC inhabitants but was completely off about the overall vibe of the city. Unlike Boston, DC has no high-rise buildings but what it lacks in skyscrapers it makes up for, tenfold, in efficient public transportation. That’s right, the most obvious difference is how easy it is to get around here! Despite the Space Mountain-esque decent underground to get to the Metro, my morning and afternoon commute are probably one of the easiest parts of my day. Additionally, I feel as though DC just has a little more liveliness within the city. Regardless of the slightly older average age of DC residents, there is electricity in the air; everyone is on the go and doesn’t have a second to waste!
