Washington University in St Louis Top Questions

The best thing about my school is that every single person I have met is incredibly kind and passionate about the subject that they are studying. Everyone here is smart and invested in their education and they truly want to be here. I have been able to have conversations that are really meaningful and I have created friendships with people that are very similar to me. Being in a place full of smart, caring people is defintionly the best thing about Washington University in St. Louis.

For a medium sized university that also enrolls graduate students, I love that Washington University in St. Louis is geared towards making sure that the individual undergraduate student has all the necessary resources available. Often schools that are comparable to Washington University in size and rigor have classes that are taught by Teaching Assistants and lecture halls with 300 plus students. At Washington University all lecture classes have smaller discussion sections and all courses are taught by professors as opposed to Teaching Assistants. Every student gets the attention they need and desire in order to succeed at this University.

The best thing about Washington University is that they are flexible the classes offered. They also make available tutoring programs to help you academically succeed in your classes

My school has such a beautiful campus, I stop for a moment to just look at it sometimes. It also has excellent food that most other schools don't really have. I am honestly glad I cam here because of it despite how difficult the work is, even though I sometimes forget to eat because of the workload. The Professors are decent, but the engineering departments are revamping and getting better each year. Research is also highly prevalent here, so if you are hoping to get into graduate school, especially in the sciences, this is the place to be.

I think the best thing about my school is the fact that everyone is so willing to help others. Professors and TAs are always willing to help students with classwork. Students are willing to help students with classwork or with any other problems they may be having . Even the administration goes out of its way to help students. I know that the administration went out of its way to help me after my mother passed away freshman year. That willingness to help makes me feel like Washington University isn't just a business but a family.

The best thing about WashU is the attention that is given to the students. I remember on my first chemistry exam I got the hook (my fancy way of admitting I received a C) and was very impressed by how quick and easy it was to find help. There were multiple student tutors, and some even came right to my dorm! There were also multiple office hours and extended recitations by the chemistry professors themselves. The devotion to students and their education is unparalleled.

The best thing about Washington University in St. Louis is its many educational resources for students. The university has many programs to promote academic excellence from all of its students. A great example of Washington Univesity's committment to its undergraduate students is Cornestone. Cornerstone is a place that provides educational programs and tutors for students who need additioal assistance in a particular subject. Based on my experience, Conernerstone does an excellent job with understanding one background when approaching a student's academic needs. Overall, Washington University is a very supportive university that desires success from all of its students.

The best thing about my school is its focus on challenging its students. If the university had to strip each and every one of its philosophies but one, it would spare its commitment to challenging its students and faculty. The professors make sure that you are never in a comfortable position where things are easy and there is always room for improvement. I have loved this aspect of Wash U because it has allowed me to grow past the ceiling I thought existed above my capabilities. I have grown and am still growing and that is very precious to me.

WashU has one of the greatest communities I have ever experienced in my entire life. Everyone is unbelievably kind. Everyone is involved with eachother, we all want to help eachother succeed. There is no exclusion. You're encouraged to do any activity you want. People are extremely friendly.

The professors: they afforded me fantastic research opportunities. My work with an assistant professor will make both his and my career in psychology. Without my professors, I would not have been admitted into one of the best graduate schools in the country for my field.
