Spring 2005- CMC Washington D.C. Program or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Federal Government
So, you’ve been accepted to the CMC- D.C. Semester Program, and you need to to find an internship, get an apartment, attend classes, and somehow survive in Washington D.C., right? Don’t worry, you’re not the first person, and you definitely will not be the last. Most people “inside the beltway” are young and learn the lessons of “hard work, low pay” in Washington D.C. Without D.C. interns, our federal government (like the Egyptian pyramids above) would cease to exist. This Guide is supposed to help you survive Washington D.C. and, as with all CMC Study Guides, help you ace the classes on the program.

- Part II- DC and Its Discontents (Surviving in D.C.)
