The math program in the school's evening program was very traditional. I heard some great things about the school but the course work was disappointly traditional. The instructor merely copied problems/solutions from his notes and put them on board and then proceeded to lecture. Not much insight on problem solving - just volumes and volumes of homework. The campus is beautiful.

Quite Bright
Nobody outside of St Louis knows about Wash U. Its too bad that a top 15 school isn't known outside its own city. We paid 40k to come hear each year, and for what? If you can't get a job on the back of your university's name, then why not just go to a state school for 35k less than what we paid. This was a good enough school and I had plenty of fun and learned a little too but it hasn't gotten me any further than any other university would have. Plus, Wash U is a haven for J.A.P's and jocks and ego-bloating frat boys.

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.

Well, it's finally over. There is a prototype WashU student - tree hugger, liberal, unwashed, acne-covered, backpack toting bores. Do not come here if you have conservative views. The women here are dogs. Glad I am out of here. St Louis has to be the biggest waste of a top 20 city ever. There are tumbleweeds blowing through downtown once the sun goes down. The downtown area has the skyline of frigging Des Moines, Iowa. What a hole.
