Washington University in St. Louis Visit Report by inthemistylight

Visit Activities:

Information Session: Yes - I just listened, as there were very many anxious parents there who asked basically every question under the sun. But the WashU ppl were very informative and patient.

Campus Tour: Yes - I highly recommend one instead of wandering around by yourself, as you do get to go inside the buildings and classrooms without feeling like a creeper.

Classroom Visit: Yes - We peeked in a huuuuge chemistry class. It seemed pretty intense, but the lecturer was very engaging.

Campus:

---

All the people I met were very nice

---

I didn't see very many of those, but they seemed pleasant enough.

---

The gothic architecture missed some flying buttresses :) it was actually very nice and neat and organized.

---

There was some dust spewing from construction, but the rest of it was lovely.

---

The suites seem like heaven, but the traditional dorms are just so-so

---

I was walking with my host back from some late-night class and the place was pretty deserted, but she seemed pretty relaxed. Dont remember seeing any blue lights though.

---

I loved the campus. It seemed very walkable (compared to my gargantuan state school) and aesthetically pleasing :)

---

Off-Campus:

---

I only ever saw the park, and i like parks

---

They have all my favorite stores, so thats all i really needed. and apparently there's quite a few nice restaurants.

Campus Visit Notes for Washington University in St. Louis

Visit Description:

I actually had a wonderful time there. I felt very welcomed by my host, and got a really nice impression of washu life. Im a sucker for nicely maintained grounds, and the grass was so nice and green.
the tour was informative, but our group wasnt the most animated bunch. i guess that cant be helped.
