| The one thing that I would add is that, almost without exception, if you ask anyone how they like WashU the word "love" is always somewhere in the answer. Ask a parent how their kid likes it there and it's always, "He loves it", ask a graduate, "I loved it", ask a present student, "I love it". Rarely do you get, "It's okay" or "Not so much". That speaks volumes. The academics are outstanding. And the name recognition is certainly out there. We have never mentioned WashU and gotten anything but a "Great school" responce and a look of "Wow". |
