Not questioning your decision making, but DC seems like a fine place to go to college. I would've gone to Georgetown or GW without any qualms, same way that I decided to go to NC State (even though I've lived just outside of Raleigh since middle school).

Disclosure: I went to college 50 minutes away from where my parents lived and still lived on campus because I had to get out of living in the middle of nowhere and a 50 minute commute to class wasn't my thing.

DC is a wildly expensive place to go to college. GW is consistently ranked amongst the most expensive colleges in the US. Even if you're on a full ride, you likely won't be able to pay your living expenses with a part-time job.
