Major Disappointment

by nataliyaeq , Aug 05 '03
Pros: Supposedly an excellent and prestigious school
Cons: I have yet to see why
I started college at the University of Chicago. I went there for about two years before taking a little time off to decide what to do for a career. In the time that I was away, I became enamored with a man whose work keeps him in downstate Illinois....

Pros: Great opportunities, fun on campus
Cons: A bit insulated

Many of the people I went to school with at Washington University
(yes, in St. Louis) expressed the opinion that there was nothing
to do in St. Louis. OK, it's true. I grew up there, and there really

A $30,000 education??

by LAX2626 , Sep 25 '00
Pros: Good education
Cons: Very expensive and doesn't make an effort to meet students needs
I am currently a junior at Washington University, enrolled in the Olin School of Business and also have a second major in Biology. My brother attended this school before I did. One of the great factors about this school is their financial aid, which...

...makes joe a dull boy

by ginomctien , Jul 22 '00
Pros: great people, great preparation for real world; great city
Cons: work load heavy at times; little interaction with community
Trite, but it’s true...Wash U students work hard, but they play hard too. In all fairness, I’ve yet to come across any organization where it’s members thought this expression didn’t apply, but I do think it’s particularly applicable to Wash. U.

Why Did Wash. U. Suck?

by Delia100 , Jun 11 '00
Pros: pretty campus, st. louis is fun
Cons: boring waste of time and money
Wash. U is the only undergrad school I attended so I don't have anything else to compare it to, but overall I had a miserable experience there and was disappointed and disenchanted with academia in general.

I had hoped university would be a...

Healthcare for all, even those that don't need it

by LAX2626 , Sep 27 '00
Pros: None
Cons: Many students are charged $400 for something they do not need
Starting in the Fall of 2001, Washington University will charge all full time students $400 for health insurance. This is because there are a few students who do not have health insurance and it appears that the schools finds this to be quite a problem....

Well Worth the Time and Money

by ami_n , Jan 20 '00
Pros: people, academics, and aid!
Cons: doesn't get the name recognition it deserves.
Washington University is a perennially top 20 school for many reasons. Perhaps the best thing about the school is the rigorous academic program. At this school you take five classes per semester. Most (85-90%) are taught by full professors. TA's are...

My chancellor read me bedtime stories

by orcaguy , Jul 20 '00
Pros: Warm community, interested professors, academics are tough
Cons: St. Louis isn't the greatest place, academics are tough, cost of tuition
I ended up at Wash U mainly because Duke offered me less money. However, it's not to say it was a second choice (there's a running joke at Wash U that it's everyone's "safety" school to Ivy League applications).

One of my first...

High Pressure, Great Results

by thebuck , Feb 04 '00

The Freshman Dorm Experience...

by ginomctien , Jul 03 '00
Pros: meet great people, exposed to new experiences, late nights and good times
Cons: loud at times, sacrifices you have to make from communal living
The college dorm can be a wonderful thing. A big portion of the quintessential college experience, as portrayed in movies and as perceived in popular culture, happens not in class, but in the dorms. The Wash. U. residence halls do a good job of providing...
