brimil88 - My D#2 is a sophomore at WashU. I researched St. Louis crime statistics before she accepted and was appalled. However, the area around the university seems very safe. My understanding is that the high crime statistics are mainly across the river in East St. Louis. Perhaps a native can correct me if I’m wrong. D#2 loves it at WashU, and they were very generous with their scholarship offer. The times I’ve visited, I’ve really enjoyed the city!
