Campus Visit Notes for Washington University in St. Louis:
Visit Description:
Favorably impressed by campus and educational/research opportunities. Not so sure about students. Student body looks a bit too mainstream for my son's tastes. And tour guide said a third of students are in fraternities/sororities. That's worse than the 25% figure we'd seen elsewhere. But I suppose that's what some prospective students are looking for, so "better" or "worse" are in the eye of the beholder.
