Why the Wash U haters? (Washington University/St. Louis)

[Anonymous]

Missouri? Hard pass. Too bad WashU isn't in Washington (state or district) or in Boston or 100 other places. Location matters in college choice and ranking.

NP. I don’t hate WashU. My observation from our visit there, conversations with students and parents, and my kid’s view, is that it often isn’t a first choice because kids really, really love it, but rather (a) their counselor tells them it is their best shot for ED and/or (b) it is the best school they got into in RD.

That makes for a campus (albeit beautiful) without much enthusiasm. Not what my kid (and others I know) wanted for their college experience.

I already posted objectively all T25 are great schools. What exactly do you get out of posting that? I genuinely want to understand what motivates someone to be act that way, I know it’s anonymous but it’s so unbecoming of a presumed adult.

But the “I wouldn’t send my kid to a red state because of abortion laws” is so damned privileged. The laws aren’t about you and your rich kid at a fancy college who can get herself taken care of at the drop of a hat. They’re about poor folks without alternatives. Stop thinking only about yourself.

If your kid gets pregnant there’s Illinois practically across the street. I’m sure you can spring for the Uber.

My kids are privileged enough to look at the many other good schools that are NOT in sht hole states.

Act what way?

Objectively, STL is a crappy city in a sht hole state. If you and your kid are fine with that, great. Nothing wrong with saying it though.

Yea, you’re a peach. Real rational and mature. Someone who gets her kicks talking nonsense in anonymous boards. Your privileged kids would be proud I’m sure.

Do you truly genuinely want to understand?
Objectively speaking:

Missouri women face significant healthcare challenges, including poor health outcomes, limited access to care, and high rates of preventable deaths, particularly in maternal and reproductive health. Contributing factors include a near-total abortion ban forcing patients to travel for care, widespread maternity care deserts, a high rate of uninsured women, particularly women of color, and a maternal mortality rate 50% higher than the national average. The bipartisan movement to address these issues includes efforts to improve access to contraception and address the shortage of OB-GYN providers.

MISSOURI

Banned abortion at 8 weeks with no exceptions for rape and incest

state could investigate women’s miscarriages

doctors could be sentenced to up to 15 years in prison

maternal mortality rate is 50% higher than the U.S.

congenital syphilis is at its highest rate in nearly two decades

5 counties in Missouri face a 1,000% increase in syphilis

Poor Health Outcomes:
Missouri ranks poorly for women's overall health, with high rates of maternal and infant mortality, breast and cervical cancer deaths, and poor mental health among women.
Maternity Care Deserts:
More than 41% of Missouri counties are maternity care deserts, lacking any birthing facilities or providers, making it harder for women to access care during pregnancy and birth.
Limited Access to Abortion:
A near-total abortion ban, enacted after the overturning of Roe v. Wade, forces Missouri residents to travel out of state for care, incurring additional costs for travel, lodging, and childcare.
Maternal Mortality:
The maternal mortality rate in Missouri is significantly higher than the national average, with Medicaid patients being at especially high risk.
Uninsured Population:
A substantial portion of Missouri women lack health insurance, particularly women of color, hindering their ability to access necessary healthcare services.
Healthcare Costs:
High costs of care and lack of guaranteed paid sick leave create economic instability and make it difficult for women, especially those in low-wage jobs, to access and afford the care they need.
Decreased OB-GYN Providers:
The state's abortion ban has led to a significant drop in OB-GYN residents, further exacerbating access issues for maternity and other reproductive care.
Addressing the Challenges
Legislation:
Bipartisan efforts are underway to reduce barriers to contraception and address the shortage of OB-GYN providers.
Advocacy:
Grassroots movements are working to improve reproductive freedom, access to care, and support for women's health issues.
Public Health Initiatives:
Organizations like the Missouri Department of Health and Senior Services offer services such as Extended Women's Health Services to provide family planning, STD testing and treatment, and follow-up care.

Yes, I genuinely do. I don’t suspect sht hole poster has any reasoned thought process based on anything important you’ve outlined however, more just kicks out of me a jerk.

Have you ever been there? I lived in STL for a bit and it’s one of the worst cities in the US. And that is even before taking the MAGA nuttery into consideration.

Location matters to many kids.

I don't understand how it is you DON'T care about these important issues, that cannot be conveniently ignored as "just abortion" access - it's women's health care that affects every single one of us. As a presumed adult you should care more.

You seem misled by the conciseness of my posts. If you need it spelled out:

Red states = anti-women & anti-LGBTQ & anti-Democracy = sht hole states

STL = crappy city (I lived there)
