So, I'm going to college

[Jonny]

I was very tempted to use an It's Official title, but I figure that that's already been worn out over the past few hours...

I've been accepted to Washington University in St. Louis, and that's where I'll be going next year. (I'm guessing the fact that I failed to mention how often I frequent here helped my application tremendously.) I seem to recall at least one person here mentioning that they were there, maybe more than one. I must say that this is the best day I've had in a while.

Furthermore, I know Jaguar is waiting for his decision from Yale, and maybe there're others here too.

Anyone want to offer advice to us college-bound seniors? Or what's cool to do in St. Louis? Or what I should study?

[Kuciwalker]

We have another poster at Wash U

[Kuciwalker]

What are you studying, btw?

(and IIRC Jaguar is considering WashU as well)

[Jonny]

Ah, civman, I remember that now.


I'm leaning toward engineering ATM, probably aerospace or mechanical.

Congrats!

I knew a lot of people who went to WashU, I passed cause of price considerations, but its a great place to be in a pretty cool part of the city. U city, Forest Park

Yay! Someone remembers I'm at Wash U despite my relative lurkerness!

I don't really know what to tell you; I don't actually know St. Louis that well.

But study math, of course . Why would you consider studying anything else?

[snoopy369]

My recollection is that WashU has a good International Relations program

Then you can come up here (Chicago) for graduate school

I went to WashU for 2 years. Amazing school. Underrated though.

[Wiglaf]

My advice:

Stay away from the stoners.

South 40 is a gay name, avoid saying it.

Try to attend a sporting event. Those are huge there. NO THEY ****ING AREN'T. But that's good because fewer "jock" types.

Admire the scnery. Not all campuses have a lot of open spaces like washU.

Get a single.
