They really seemed like they wanted me to enjoy the visit and seemed genuinely happy that I was interested in the school. [View Full Report]

I spent a good four hours talking to a member of the admissions staff about race in higher education and everyone treated me as an adult. It was absolutely great. [View Full Report]

I loved the lady in the undergraduate admissions office. She kept calling me "girlfriend" and offered us bottled water. [View Full Report]

The staff all seemed very friendly and willing to help. They had very cheery dispositions and were open to conversation and questioning. I would be comfortable going to any of them with questions. [View Full Report]

The faculty and staff were incredibly nice and genuine. If they couldn't answer our questions, they would refer us to another person who could. Real midwestern feel of hospitality. [View Full Report]

Amazingly nice, but almost over the top. I wonder if they get big bonuses to address me with such phrases as "handsome" and "oh great one" (not even kidding). [View Full Report]

About half of the staff were super-friendly, and the other half were cold or condescending. [View Full Report]

The admissions department has way too much fun! They were awesome. We met a few faculty members who were awesome, like the Arabic teacher who involved the prospective students in his class. [View Full Report]

The staff were just as courteous as the students. The people who work there like to make friendly conversation, and get engaged in you, even if it's only for a minute or two. [View Full Report]

Holy moley. There is a woman who works the Admissions desk whom you MUST meet if you visit. Not sure if I can give her name (privacy?) but she is amazing. Warm and helpful just like all of them. [View Full Report]

I didn't really have much interaction with the faculty/staff other than asking a professor for directions to the admissions office and to confirm that a tour was taking place. [View Full Report]

Everyone was great except for the food staff. The food was fine- but not the locals that were serving it. Other than them, the admissions reps I talked to were very enjoyable. [View Full Report]

This was one of the best parts of my visit. The staff was interesting, entertaining, and clearly cared. I saw many staying behind long after their sessions to chat with visiting students and parents. [View Full Report]

Awesome. The Dean of the Olin school walked by us during the tour, and he actually stopped and introduced himself to me and welcomed me to Wash U. [View Full Report]

I just got to say St. Louis was the friendliest city I have ever been to. From the rental car bus driver to the hotel staff to the school's staff. Unbelievable! [View Full Report]
