[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It’s an Ivy League back up and it’s expensive as hell.  Anybody living in VA who’s good enough to get into Wash U but not an Ivy is far better off going to UVA.  [/quote]

Nahhhh, my kid picked WashU over a few ivies & UChicago. It was truly the best fit for them, without the dog eat dog grind of UChicago and the snobbery of the ivies.

Beyond strong academics and opportunities outside of the classroom, my kid was impressed by the collaborative culture of both the staff and students.

WashU definitely leans more liberal. I’m wondering if the MAGAs are targeting WashU this week because Sonia Sotomayor is scheduled to speak there tomorrow.

As for the location, St. Louis isn’t much different than DC. The campus is in Clayton, a suburb comparable to Bethesda, but also like Bethesda it’s near a city like DC that has some less safe areas. The area around WashU is much safer than UPenn, Yale and UChicago.
