<p>Hey there -- I'm going to Wash U tomorrow to judge an a cappella competition in the Edison Theater. I'm staying at the conference center on campus, and I'll be around early Saturday afternoon through Sunday afternoon.</p>

<p>Where should I eat on campus, and what should I see on Saturday afternoon and Sunday morning? Since I'm an admissions consultant, I like to eat in student unions and dining halls (where allowed) to get a better feel for campus life. Any recommendations/suggestions about which to choose?</p>

<p>I'd love to get a campus tour while I'm there, but I get in too late on Saturday, so that's out. If the rain dries up Sunday, I figure I'll take a walk around the zoo/park instead.</p>

<p>If any CCers come to the competition Saturday night, come say hi to me! It should be a fabulous show. The winner goes to the finals in Lincoln Center.</p>

<p>Thanks in advance!</p>

<p>I would check out the Dining Commons in the Danforth University Center, which is adjacent to Edison. Additionally, if you want a more student-centered, residential dining experience, you might want to check out Bear’s Den on the South 40.</p>

<p>I would check out the South 40 (although note that the time food places are open on the weekend is very different to during the week – visit diningservices.wustl.edu for a schedule</p>

<p>Stroll around the campus. Forrest Park zoo/etc. is nice as you mentioned (and free!) </p>

<p>There’s also food available in the Knight Center (where I’m guessing you’re staying).</p>

<p>Not a great day to visit today.</p>

<p>Yeah, three inches of snow kind of ruins the experience.</p>
