That’s good to know! I personally had a really disappointing experience in a C1 but if so many others have good opinions maybe it was my instructor and not the classes overall. Maybe I should try again!

Hello! Congrats on the job! As a fellow immigrant, here’s some advice: 1. It’s very cold here. Not sure where in India you’re coming from but where I’m from it’s usually not often colder than 5C. Here that’s a pretty normal nighttime temperature in winter. I own a big, long winter coat to stay warm. 2. For the Airbnb, I would recommend you stay somewhere like Arlington because it feels like that would be cheaper than main DC without being too removed from the city, as Arlington has a metro stop. Arlington has tons of restaurants, cafes, people, etc so it’s a good place to start. 3. Ask your workmates once you’re here if you can where they live and what they like about it! Depending on your salary you will have a couple of different good options. Anyway, again, welcome to DC. It’s cold as hell right now and not many people are out, but soon it’ll be warm and you’ll see everyone out enjoying the city! Good luck!

I know nothing about law enforcement other than I don’t really trust law enforcement but I think this sounds like a great route. Nobody will hate you, you’ll be in scary situations but rarely ones where you’re scared OF people (which will scar you forever - speaking as someone who’s best friend is a cop and is all sorts of fucked up), and you’ll be performing an excellent service to the community. And it seems like you’ll do law enforcement in the end, according to this comment. Plus everybody loves a hot firefighter.
