Local info
The D.C. area is home to a tremendous number of cultural activities to do, especially with regard to history, both nationally and worldwide! World-famous for its historical monuments and cultural landmarks, there are very few cities in The United States that compare in terms of the number of iconic places to see! Just a handful of some of these places include Lincoln Memorial, The White House, The Washington Monument, The Jefferson Memorial The Capitol Building, The Smithsonian Air and Space Museum, The Smithsonian, The Library of Congress or The National Gallery of Art,
Depending on the location of your housing, a car may not be necessary while living in D.C. The D.C. metro access across the D.C. area is quite convenient making travel around the city fairly easy. It is recommended that you get metro passes as soon as you can once in D.C.
The metro is very reliable, which allows the option to live outside the city where the cost of living will be a bit less expensive. Visit WMATA and goDCgo to explore all of the sustainable transportation options!
Housing:
Washington DC Metro area, and the surrounding areas like Alexandria and Arlington, are expensive. A 1-bedroom apartment can start around $1,800+ per month, unfurnished. HRC places over 30 J1's in D.C. every year so there are plenty of other J1's to help you get settled in the area!
We recommend that you consider rooming with another J-1 or local to share the cost of the living. The metro is very reliable, which allows the option to live outside the city where the cost of living will be a bit less expensive. Please note, that without established credit, your first and last month’s rent may be required as a deposit. HRC recommends you arrive with at least $2,500 as startup capital and to help secure housing. You can have a look at apartments.com, zillow.com, forrent.com, trulia.com or hotpads.com for potential housing.
