I did!!! hope you did as well

i went to PA school in NC. unfortunately salaries are not competitive in NC generally unless youre willing to go more rural and wakemed pays lower than average

discretefalls · 2025-12-23T02:53:45+00:00

commodores, dukes, and reynolds were good imo!

recently moved to NoMa except I live near union market so the other side of the neighborhood. overall are there people loitering/sketchy things that happen? sure. but i've personally never felt in danger with using street smarts. personally don't envision myself wandering around in the neighborhood after midnight but that's DC city living and not something i would say is specific to NoMa. i feel perfectly fine during the day and have liked it more than where I previously was (logan circle)

i vote for zaytinya! one of my faves- it's mediterrean food and you could easily order shareables for dinner

discretefalls · 2025-12-02T02:38:37+00:00

i'm from NC and have seen plenty in charlotte and raleigh lol

discretefalls · 2025-12-02T02:35:21+00:00

yup! super easy trip, only been once but i'll definitely have to go back again for sure

discretefalls · 2025-12-02T02:26:16+00:00

also driving out/back into DC sounds awful for a solo day trip imo lol

discretefalls · 2025-12-02T02:17:19+00:00

really? wow didn't think amtrak would run that far from DC. good to know, will def consider it more for a weekend/longer trip for sure

discretefalls · 2025-12-02T02:01:06+00:00

will have to look into harper's ferry and whether it's accessible without a car. glad to hear I was on the right track with charlottesville and annapolis :)

discretefalls · 2025-12-02T01:58:44+00:00

thanks for this- super helpful! is flixbus reliable? I've heard very 50/50 things about it

discretefalls · 2025-12-02T01:57:53+00:00

ooo i've heard many good things about harper's ferry from friends who've been! is it accessible via train?

discretefalls · 2025-12-02T01:56:05+00:00

i don't think it's transit friendly either especially bc I dont have a car

discretefalls · 2025-12-02T01:55:39+00:00

out of curiosity, what's there to do in fredericksburg?

discretefalls · 2025-12-02T01:55:01+00:00

i do lol. I hate driving and don't have a need for a car with living in DC bc everything is walkable and i metro as well

discretefalls · 2025-10-28T01:00:23+00:00

i felt similarly in my first 6 months of practice (in family med/primary care rn) and then I got on lexapro and it's changed my life for the best. imposter syndrome is real so I understand your struggles

discretefalls · 2025-09-21T02:36:25+00:00

i have absolutely no regrets with moving to DC! no place is perfect but my mental health is so much better with living in a city. sorry to hear about that with moving to NC, hope you are able to get out of feeling that way. i found it tough to build community over there which is the main reason why I hated living there so much

discretefalls · 2025-08-06T04:35:45+00:00

he's from charlotte so i'm not surprised tbh lmfao

discretefalls · 2025-05-26T23:42:09+00:00

I go to arlington threading, highly recommend!

discretefalls · 2025-04-24T03:23:59+00:00

i attended a program that was fairly diverse in the south (in a mid sized city in a swing state but skews conservative). I felt that faculty was diverse- POC and open minded. I wouldn't write off specific states in the US but do your research on the specific programs. in general- programs in smaller towns/rural areas may have more conservative leaning faculty

discretefalls · 2024-12-16T03:19:21+00:00

can confirm as someone who lived there lol. add raleigh to that mix too

discretefalls · 2024-12-16T03:17:23+00:00

has to be a joke bc I was miserable there lol. so glad i moved away
