About Washington University

The Washington University in St. Louis is also known by the nickname “WashU” (and “WASUSTL”… in print, at least). The campus boasts a heavy-hitter cast of academics, including the association with 25 Nobel Laureates through the span of this college’s years. Named after first president George Washington (not the state or city!), it’s no surprise that the campus has a breadth of potential specialties on offer, providing a strong jack-of-all-trades kind of education.  

Notably, the campus also provides abundant resources for research on campus. With a deep endowment pool and impressive alumni standouts, it’s no surprise this college offers a traditional university experience. What’s more, the architecture and relatively balmy weather for most of the year provide an attractive college-town environment to focus on your studies.
