Washington University in St. Louis Visit Report by pmrlcomm

Visit Activities:

Information Session: Yes - Talk was given primarily by an adcom and engineering prof. There was a student but she only talked for a limited time. Rushed for time so no Q&A.

Campus Tour: Yes - Beautiful campus. Lots of green lawn. Buildings are beautiful with a few ugly ones as an exception. Our tour guide was very good and very honest about things. The tour was very, very good.

---

Campus:

---

Only spoke with our tour guide but we was very enthusiastic and blunt. Good source of information.

---

Didn't get to speak with anyone face-to-face. Just the prof doing the info session.

---

Ranks just behind Vandy (admittedly biased) based on the schools we have been to. It has a beautiful, garden like appearance. The buildings are great. Lots of construction and new amenities.

---

Practically flawless.

---

Freshman dorm building we saw was top-knotch. It would be hard not to like it.

---

Plenty of blue lights.

---

We were very, very impressed with the campus as a whole.

---

Off-Campus:

---

Not much to do immediately adjacent to campus. Forest Park is the exception. Very nice.

---

Not a big fan of St. Louis and the general vicinity. The Loop was nice but looked like it could be very sketchy.

Campus Visit Notes for Washington University in St. Louis

Visit Description:

We really liked our visit and I'm sure our S will be applying. WashU students get free public transportation which makes it nice for getting around off-campus. One of the nicer schools we have looked at.

Hampton Inn downtown area. Only a 10 minute drive to campus.

Dining/Restaurant Recommendations or Comments:

Ate at St. Louis Haus Pizza on The Loop. Honestly wasn't impressed.
