WashU is in a great location. It is in a nice part of town and next to a massive park with a zoo and museums etc… As mentioned St Louis is very affordable. The campus has excellent dorms but many students also live nearby in nice apartments. WashU is a global university, it attracts top students from across the country and the world. They create a collaborative environment so you will develop friendships with students that will then pursue opportunities everywhere. The alumni base is spread around the world. The university has resources including a developed career center that can help students find career opportunities across the U.S. including Silicon Valley, NYC, Chicago, Boston, DC, etc… Also, many students go on to the best graduate programs around the country. For the class that began this year, the university only accepted about 13% of the applicants - some people believe that it is best to apply Early Decision to improve your chances. Good Luck!
