I graduated with honorComputer Science
I graduated with honor (GPA=3.7+) from Washington University last May. I've been looking for a job for almost a year now. The career center offer little or no help. If you think this is a good school..think again..

Question
It was an absolute waste of money, IBrightBiology
It was an absolute waste of money, I feel that I am not getting anything near my moneys worth. I had 8 AP Tests with 5s and I couldn't even get credit for half of them, not to mention the fact that they made me take most of those classes over again. I regret ever coming here and am trying to get out, I advise others to do the same.

Question
What can I say, this place has it all.Quite BrightChemistry
What can I say, this place has it all. I like the teachers, I am learning a lot, I have great friends, and I live on a great campus. Wash U has such a nice campus, evidenced by their constant rennovation, construction, removing buildings (they just imploded a 12-story, 38-year-old residence hall to build a new one), and building of new ones. Wash U likes to keep its campus gorgeous, and it makes being on campus and studying here great. The people here are all really really smart, but all really really nice too. I don't know many snooty or stuck-up people at all. If you want an ivy education in one of the best, elite schools in the country, yet with the friendly, supportive atmosphere of the midwest, come here. You'd love it!
