<p>Considering how prestigious WashU is, are the students more competitive or collaborative? I read a similar post about Pre-Med, but what about for other majors? When I toured the school my guide told me she doesn't even know her friends' grades, but could someone who attends WashU tell me a little bit more/their personal experiences?</p>
<p>Collaborative, definitely. I would say pre-med is the most cutthroat of the classes here, and they’re still pretty collaborative. Business classes have mandatory group homeworks/quizzes, and the humanities aren’t cutthroat at all (speaking as someone who’s taken anthro, psych, drama, theatre studies, chemistry, law, and business classes).</p>
<p>And engineering is very collaborative too because working together reduces the amount of suffering for all of us.</p>
