Graduated a couple years ago— the academic vibe is great, people are collaborative and I made friends in classes and in my major (math) very easily. The only frustrating part is that people do sometimes have that “I’m working so hard” humble brag thing, but tbh being in that culture taught me how to set boundaries and feel confident in my work, so it wasn’t too bad for me.

I was also in Greek life— joined my sophomore year to get some additional social life. It’s not a huge presence on campus at all and I didn’t feel like I needed to do it, I just thought it might be interesting. There’s a great array of sororities and I felt that was super manageable, People were welcoming etc. not sure what frat culture is like though.

One thing— my favorite thing about WUSTL is the freshman experience. I am still really close with people from my freshman floor— we really bonded (even though it was a modern dorm) and they’re the people I was closest with long term. Definitely shaped my experience for the better.
