Which city has a "blacker" reputation? Chicago or DC? I grew up in Northern Virginia (about 35 minutes south of DC). I understand DC was known as chocolate city years before I was born and I do see a fair amount of black people in DC, but I'm wondering what the culture of Chicago is like. 

I'm considering both DC and Chicago as cities to go to for law school. I'm currently doing my undergrad at Boston University, which is a great school, but the area is overwhelmingly white. I love the idea of attending a school in an environment where I'll see more people who look like me. 

P.S. This is my full list of schools I'm considering:

Boston College
Boston University (safety since I already attend)
U Chicago 
Columbia
Harvard
Georgetown
Yale
Howard
Emory
Duke
Yale
NYU
