Glad I chose WM. I don't like study and prefer one-year program. Save my time and money, and easier to get a job in DC metro area. Altho I don't like Williamsburg, too boring, it's not hard to drive to DC on weekends. Just don't expect WM will do a whole lot for you to help you find a job. I haven't been to the west coast. Among all the east coast big cities, DC is my favorite for living. (Sorry, I can't type Chinese with my working computer)
Hard to get a job through school, but it varies from year to year. I think every Chinese gets a job regardless whether they stay in the US or go back to China. Students going back to China just because they like it not because they can't get a job in the US. In general, economy in DC area is doing pretty well. People here in DC are better educated and nicer.
One more thing. Be ready to compete with your peers from GWU and UMD. Students from those two schools have more opportunities to get an internship while still at school. But they have longer programs that takes you more time and money, which might be a waste. WM doesn't have a good location for finding internships or full-time jobs. But it doesn't really matter at the end.
