Visit to Washington University in St. Louis in July 2007 by jgladiator (Student, HS Class of 2008)
Visit Activities:
Admissions Interview:
Yes - It was a very informal interview, but I thought it was wonderful. It's quite conversational in nature. Information Session:
Yes - I went for pre-health day and listened to a dean of the school of Arts/Sci, a professor, and a student. They really knew what they were doing. Campus Tour:
Yes - It was raining, and we couldn't hear our tour guide, but saw a beautiful campus (with a lot of construction)
Washington University in St. Louis Campus:
Appearance of Campus: 5 - Excellent -
It is a beautiful campus. It looks much nicer than the pictures.
Security/Safety: 4 - Very Good -
There was a recent robbery on campus, but I felt safe.
Overall Campus Impression: 5 - Excellent -
I was convinced to apply.
Off-Campus:
Area Immediately Around Campus: 5 - Excellent -
Clayton is not anything close to my opinion of St.Louis. It's like a small city by itself.
Campus Visit Notes for Washington University in St. Louis:
Visit Description:
Do NOT go to any of the Pre-_______ days. There are 100s of kids and you can't get the one on one talks with your admission reps. I would suggest going on your own (and checking in with the office of UG admissions of course).
