I love many things about DC, as much as I accept the negatives I've had to deal with (most of which have stemmed from not making enough money to live well in DC. Better now than before, but I'm still ignoring the reality that I can't buy property I'd want here unless I can significantly change salary or relationship status.) If you think you'll enjoy it and make enough money to have a fulfilling life here in the process, then absolutely come. If you think you'll love it but maybe can't stay long-term, it may still be worth renting here for a couple years, come try it for yourself! There's so many cultural activities, different groups of interesting people, good food options, and ways of living that make it a great place to live!
