Campus Visit Notes for Washington University in St. Louis:
Visit Description:
Everyone was very friendly. :-) It was my first trip to the Midwest, and I think, above all, that was the overarching trait most striking to me. The campus is very pretty and a nice size (of course, my point of reference is the massive Arizona State University campus so I'm a little skewed). The dormitories are incredibly nice and I really liked the South 40 area which seemed to combine residential building with a miniature college town.
