<p>Admitted and Accepted students (who’ve visited)-- Let’s post what we love about WashU!</p>
<p>I’ll start:</p>
<li>friendliness of campus</li>
<li>beautiful architecture…reminded me of a fairy-tale</li>
<li>top-notch programs</li>
</ol>
<p>aside from academics</p>
<p>1) the people, laid back and chill and super,extremely nice (bordering on freaky)</p>
<p>2) food</p>
<p>3) the campus</p>
<ol>
<li>the people are nice and friendly</li>
<li>scholarship policy and merit money</li>
<li>closed campus (no roads run through)</li>
<li>south 40</li>
<li>food</li>
<li>architecture</li>
<li>ability to take double major so easily</li>
<li>ability to take classes in any school</li>
<li>coolest nerds ever</li>
</ol>
<p>more to come</p>
<p>When I visited the campus, I found the administration to be helpful and accomodating...yes likekungpaoyu said, bordering on freaky..</p>
<p>WUSTL has everything a college student could want..a top undergraduate.. gorgeous campus.. accessible professors..friendly people..GREAT FOOD.. not to mention the prestige that most prospective college students care so much about. </p>
<p>The one thing that's not perfect about WashU is its 8-syllable name.</p>
<p>It's actually 12 syllables</p>
<p>WHy Wash U is awesome:</p>
<ol>
<li>a large, cool city - St Louis - is at our doorstep</li>
<li>South 40 is a distinct area from the rest of campus, so 'work' and 'home' can sort of remain separate</li>
<li>reputation for having some of the nicest people around</li>
<li>variety and quality of food</li>
<li>campus architecture - can't resist the castles</li>
<li>Ursa's.</li>
<li>how so many things are entirely student-run (clubs, businesses, Thurtene, etc)</li>
<li>hotel-like dorms</li>
<li>academic prestige and rankings</li>
<li>flexibility in changing/creating majors</li>
<li>Francis Field was the site of the first Olympics in the Western hemisphere!</li>
</ol>
<p>Way to plagiarize </p>
<p>"1. Campus "Pants-Optional" policy"</p>
<p>from Colossus (yep, his post got deleted) ....unless you are him..</p>
<p>No, seriously, I hear they're really open-minded about that sort of thing.</p>
<p>um, "pants-optional"? like you can go to class naked if you want?</p>
<p>I wouldn't go that far, nernirvana... Come on, let's keep this forum PG-rated.</p>
<p>I know this sounds kind of stupid.. but what is the weather usually like?</p>
<p>I lived in CA and then moved to GA.. i HATEEEE humidity and rain and i LOVVEEE dry hot or cold weather .. </p>
<p>and jw but did you guys visit WUSTL before you applied or after?
thanks!</p>
<p>I live in Saint Louis and have travelled just about everywhere. I dont think I have been anywhere with worse humidity, but we do get a nice mix of weather and you really experience all four seasons. I have lived in California and spent a lot of time in Georgia and I would rank both climates higher than Missouri, but it is not unbearable. It is probably about 93 Degrees today and beautiful.</p>
