<p>everything seems to indicate that wash u is a better school but i made a couple of observations when i was at both campuses</p>
<p>1) im pretty state schools (esp. cal) would have a wide array of resources as well, in terms of research, etc</p>
<p>2) when I visited (btw i loved the campus) the atmosphere was very laid back and there was drinking everywhere I looked </p>
<p>do you think the environment is academically conducive and do you think that for the tuition that there is a sizable advantage to going to wash u?</p>
