Visit to Washington University in St. Louis in August 2007 by katieg21 (Student, HS Class of 2010)
Visit Activities:
Admissions Interview:
No - My friend did it because she's older, she said they asked about what she was looking for in a college, what she liked to do, just basic questions. Information Session:
Yes - The professor that did it was great, so I paid attention until he was done talking. After that it got a little long and kinda put me to sleep. Campus Tour:
Yes - Our tour guide was kinda wacky.

Campus Visit Notes for Washington University in St. Louis:
Visit Description:
The campus almost feels like this little oasis in St. Louis. I felt completely safe and at home. We saw a suite style dorm that was pretty nice, but it was a little smaller than most of the ones I've seen.
The metro or train (I forgot what it's called) is a really easy way of transportation and theres a station right off campus.
