<p>Hi! I am strongly considering WashU as one of my college choices, but I don't really know a whole lot about it. I've heard about the large dorms and delicious food which are HUGE pluses!! I'm going to be visiting the school in November for an overnight visit with the cross country team. I was wondering if I would be able to balance school, running (cross country and track), and a social life. Which leads to my question.. what is the social life at WashU? I love being in the city and going to concerts/clubs. How close is the school to St. Louis and what is St. Louis like in these aspects? And finally, are there cute girls?</p>
<p>I’ve had a long day so I won’t give a full answer.
That being said…
The Pageant is within walking distance of the school, and it has pretty major bands/performers come through weekly. Other big concert halls are also quite close, but not walkable (but typically near a metro stop, with the exception of verizon wireless amphitheater).</p>
<p>Cool! Thanks for the response!! Do you go to school at WashU??</p>
<p>I just graduated this past semester - loved every part of WashU.</p>
<p>Awesome, thanks for your help (:</p>
<p>hoop jack- my son is starting at WUSTL this fall. He is so excited at all the opportunities, academic and social. His lasting impression is that the students at WUSTL are there because they want to be there and not just because of the name. He said that they were the friendliest o all the students he met at multiple colleges.</p>
