<p>My older brother is a sophomore at Wash U and he really enjoys the social life. When did you visit? If it was during the week then most likely people were studying, that’s similar at a lot of colleges. During the weekends it livens up a lot. </p>
<p>And with regards to the religion thing, I don’t think it’s predominantly Jewish or anything like that. I’m not sure but I really don’t think you’ll feel out of place if you’re not Jewish. </p>
<p>I know that’s a pretty basic answer but I hope it helps.</p>
