Most Helpful Review for Washington University in St Louis

The classes I have taken have been interesting and challenging. It's a good idea to do some research on the professor, but generally you can expect a good experience. Class size really varies. I've had classes with 12 students, but also classes with 100+. Typically this doesn't affect the quality of the course, or at least it hasn't in my experience.

    My liberal arts education at Washington University has taught me that higher education does not lead to one endpoint, but rather to infinite opportunities to learn from and contribute value to society. The professors at Wash. U. dedicate their lives not only to research in their respective fields, but also to inspiring the same love of learning and passionate curiosity in their students. The overall atmosphere of intellect and support at Washington University is unparalleled by that of any other similar institution.

    WashU appears to be a GREAT school! I went to an information session and the presentation was amazing. Before, I had not really thought about WashU, but now it is my #1 choice.

    Great if you are looking for challenging academics. Although its ranking suggests otherwise, at Wash U you'll find academics much more rigorous than at Harvard or Princeton. Any student would learn a lot here!

    WashU is academically rigorous and has a very worthwhile education program. The teachers are phenomenal, and actually care about their students. The people are fun, friendly, and value high education without being pretentious or snobby.

    Wash U has excellent dining services, on-campus housing, and a stellar science program. In addition, Writing I and BME are fun courses that everyone wants to take.

    Wash U is a great college to come to if you enjoy diversity. I really love that I can find my identity and learn about different cultures in the world. BUT... watch out for losing yourself; the college is rough the first year.
