Washington D.C. anyone? I need your help
Hey guys, I'm going to intern on Capital Hill. I'm applying for a fellowship to pay for my living costs and I have a few quick questions:
(1) Approx. how much would it cost to sublet a 1BR in NW D.C.?
(2) How much is the metro?
(3) How much do you think it would cost for groceries for someone who's cooking 7 days a week, 2 meals a day for a month?
(4) How much would the average gas/electricity utilities cost?
(5) Most importantly, Should I bring the G35?
Thanks for all your help! If you guys know anyone who's subletting or wants to rent out their apartment for 10 weeks, (June-Aug) please give me the heads up. And if I do bring the G35, i'd definitely attend the regional meets!

Lol dude, I don't mean to be a dick, but I think you need to talk to an economist. We're just G drivers here. 
The only advice I can give you is, figure out how much you currently consume in terms of living costs, etc. I don't think prices can get be any higher than NYC.
And obviously, yes, take your G. Pretend it's your Amex card...never leave home without it! =)

Well i just figured that living expenses are different from state to state. Especially with NYC's overinflated prices. Anyway, this is going to be the first time that I won't be splitting my expenses with someone else, so the math is all skewed. I hear what you're saying though. And yea, my g35 is just like an AMEX...I don't want to get either stolen! I'm just worried about finding parking on capital hill

Congratulations!
I can give you figures for Silver Spring, MD (right on the NW DC line).
1. Approx $1K for an all utilities included apartment (you may be able to find a room or basement for rent a little cheaper)
2. I really don't take public transportation, but the website is $1.20 - $3.60 at peak times. http://www.wmata.com
3. Depends on what you like to eat $200 maybe
4. Nothing in an all utilities incl. place, but otherwise about $150
5. Bring the G, but don't drive it into DC (DC is No Fault, the streets are horrible and parking is worse).
Hope I helped.
