[quote=Anonymous]OP, my DD is a sophomore at WashU and really enjoys it. I’ve posted about it at least twice before in this forum.

DD is in a difficult major and she does work a lot, but I believe she has her share of fun, too. She’s in a sorority, belongs to various clubs, played an intramural sport this fall, etc. There’s always something to do on campus or nearby.

In fact, DD texted me from the St. Louis Zoo this morning, which is not too far from campus. She was on a run, having gone through the historic Forest Park (which is beautiful and larger than Central Park) and stopped at the zoo to see the Christmas decorations. The temperature was right at freezing, but plenty of people were already at the zoo - which is free. She ran by herself, as she often does in the area during daylight hours, and felt perfectly safe.

WashU’s campus is predominantly in the city of Clayton, MO, which is the most affluent area of the state. Crime can happen anywhere, but DD also lived off-campus this summer (in an area called The Loop) and had no problems or concerns. People are generally friendly, both on-campus and off. WashU can seem like something out of a college movie in some respects - beautiful campus and surrounds, nice people, collaborative energy, always something going on, etc.

This is just my DD’s experience, however, and if your DD isn’t sure about WashU, she should not apply ED. Much of the class is admitted ED and then the student is locked-in. My DD applied RD and was accepted, but she says that’s more uncommon than not.
