It was a difficult choice between Northwestern, Emory and Wash U. The campus is the best of the four, but it's the students that make this place. Everyone here is quite bright, but not to the point where they are a pain in the ass. Wash U. combines great academics with a good time...it has good balance. For a school in the midwest, I am surprised at how many students are from the east and west coasts.
Individual Value: A+, Surrounding City: B+

The best up-and-coming school there is because the school is putting so much money and focus into top notch education.

Super Brilliant
I was thoroughly disappointed with the curriculum and learning experience at WU. GWB School of Social Work is definitely overrated. Prior to stepping in a classroom, I tested out of four (4) classes; and I came from an unaccredited program. I expected to learn something while at WU.

If it weren't for the fact that the community respects WU and have my MSW from this institution made it easier to get certain things (i.e., a house) due to my potential, I would feel even more jipped. The curriculum was not challenging. The class structure was lacking. Most of the teaching seemed to come from other students in the way of classroom presentations and group projects. Disappointing........... very disappointing.
