<p>Hello, I've been looking into WUSTL recently, and it looks like an outstanding school! I've been trying to ask some of the seniors at my school whether or not they've visited Washu but many have never even heard about it (I'm from New Hampshire)!</p>

<p>Anyways, I'm wondering about the academic programs and research opportunities available for Engineering and/or Business at WUSTL as I am likely going to pursue a double major in a branch of engineering and business. Is it strong or weak at Washu? Are there wide ranges of classes available? What kind of research or internship opportunities are there?</p>

<p>And MOST IMPORTANTLY, do people have awesome accents in St. Louis? I've never been in the midwest (:</p>

<p>Just to answer your question about accents - I think the St. Louis natives have a strong accent and I’m from Kansas City, MO which is only 3.5 hours away. I don’t know how many STL natives you will run into though, so you may not get to experience their accent unless you travel deep into the neighboring areas.</p>

<p>Some of the faculty are St. Louis natives. You might occasionally hear them say “Warshington University,” but that’s about all I’ve noticed. There aren’t any accents here that you wouldn’t find at any other private university.</p>

<p>StL natives say ‘idunit’ instead of ‘isn’t it’ and ‘dudinit’ instead of ‘doesn’t it’.</p>

<p>I did Masters work in engineering at WUSTL years ago before being relocated for work. I think the engineering program leaned more towards theory than practice.</p>
