[quote=Anonymous]There seems to be a fair amount of deflection and mistruths in some of these responses.

Not sure why someone (likely the same poster) always has to conflate the politics of MO with Washu. You're only there for 4 years, not living there for the rest of your life. Washu Medicine has a FULL range of women's and reproductive services except for abortion. As someone mentioned, abortion services are provided close by across the border in Illinois (e.g. Hope Clinic). MO may be a red state, but St. Louis is blue and WashU is even "bluer."

Some say St. Louis is dangerous - that's an overgeneralization and disingenuous at best. It is probably true of the North side but that is miles aways from WashU and students rarely, if ever, go there. There are many nice and leafy neighborhoods of St. Louis such as Kirkwood, Central West End, Webster Groves, Shaw, DeMun, Clayton (where WashU is located), etc. Forest Park which is adjacent to campus is over 1300 acres with many trails and is beautifully landscaped. It has a free Art and History museums as well as a free zoo to boot. It also has a public golf course. Downtown St. Louis is quite safe and includes the baseball stadium (Busch stadium), Gateway Arch and park.

WashU is plenty fun. Unless your idea of fun is nightly frat parties and drinking there is a lot to do both on and off campus.[/quote]
