[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Does your DC want to live and study in Atlanta or St. Louis for the next 4 years?

That's the big difference IMO.[/quote]

St. Louis, Missouri is a hard sell.[/quote]

Comments like these are just plain ignorant although I'll freely admit I had similar concerns before i actually visited. WashU is in a very nice and safe part of the city right adjacent to the 1300 acre Forest Park and on the edge of University City and Clayton and other wealthy neighborhoods where the upper classmen like to live. Forest Park is over 500 acres larger than NYC Central Park and is filled with museums and other cultural institutions (which all have free admissions). The Park is beautifully maintained with lakes, trails, gardens, wooded areas, etc. There are also many restaurants nearby where college kids go.[/quote]

What you describe sounds nice for a 60 year old couple to visit for a weekend.

I don’t think PP is saying it’s dangerous…just that it’s a boring, somewhat declining city which it is.

Most kids attend WashU in spite of St Louis, not because they loved the city after visiting.[/quote]

I won't say my kid loves St. Louis, but they certainly like it and they grew up in Manhattan. It's a slower pace of life, yet more than enough to do both on and off campus.[/quote]
