The meets are ridiculous for the most part.

what r u looking to do? that would help in your search for a location.

Any budget? prices ranges can vary pretty drastically depending on how far from the city you'd like to live.

Well...deciding what you want to do can change your lifestyle immensely. Computer IT sales are HUGE here and you can make a rediculous amount of money with experience.

Governement keeps this place pretty supplied with funds...you just need to figure out what you want to do. Do a job search and see what you're interested in.

Example....I have 900sq ft 1 bedroom loft condos for rent at $1500/ month in Falls Church (inside the beltway).... 20 mins away it could be less than $1000.

OP,
if you're looking to become a Fed [safest bet in this economy] I'd suggest looking at USAJOBS.gov and begin searching there. There are a lot of govt contractors on this site that can advise you as well.
Good Luck!

I will be looking for a roommate come july when I get back. I am in MD but only a half hour from DC... Just throwing it out there. It would be a cheap place for you to stay for somewhere temporary..

I rent a basement apartment and am trying to buy a house in the fall figure a roommate will help cut down the expenses to a minimum soo I can save more
