How many Wash U students does it take to change a light bulb?
3 – one to pay too much for it, one to bring it from the East Coast, and one to put the great experience on his CV.
What Uni in the USA says...
There’s only one university currently ranked by US News and World Report in the top 15 which is not a household name, and it’s Washington University in St. Louis. But despite not (yet) enjoying the same nation-wide recognition as, say, Ivy League Cornell, which is ranked below it, Wash U more than deserves its spot among the stars.
A middle-sized institution with tremendous academic prowess, fast-paced campus life and an ample endowment, Wash U attracts some of the finest minds from all over the country as a lesser known alternative to the all-star colleges. Though you may never have heard of the city of St. Louis (or even Missouri, a mostly unremarkable state bang in the middle of the country), it is a fantastic place to live, vying with Chicago for the best Midwestern college town award.
