Suggestions

DC traffic is always terrible so avoid it at all costs. Take the Metro in instead. The closest stop near Odenton is New Carrollton. It's about a 15 minute drive and also is a Greyhound and Amtrak stop.

For nightlife with a familiar college atmosphere, check out any of the bars and resturants near Georgetown such as Rhinos and Garret's.

Arlington and Alexandria are cities right next to DC that offer more great nightlife. It takes a little longer to get there on the Metro, but it is worth it.
