We’re a community of individuals who can tackle any challenge
Our community celebrates the diversity on our campus and comes together to learn more about one another and listen to each other’s ideas. The diverse perspectives of our community come to life in the classroom where students engage in lively discussion, challenging and supporting each other to leave comfort zones, both inside and outside the classroom.

Living at WashUDining ServicesOne of the things that I love about WashU is the dorms. And I don’t just mean the rooms. They’re great, but it is the community that makes dorm life at WashU so wonderful.
