Students Say - Student BodySome people may say the typical student is a Jew from Long Island, but really this is just a hyped-up stereotype, says a junior. East Coasters definitely have a presence at Wash U, but Midwesterners predominate. The campus is "very ethnically diverse." However, "self-segregation is a big issue." "People who are very wealthy tend to hang out together," too. There is "a frantic premed culture," and, overall, the campus is "a little nerdy." "I hadn't seen so many hot geeks in one place until I came to Wash U," claims a first-year student. Jocks, punks, and goths are rare. "A lot of people look exactly the same. This isn't really the best place to explore your education or figure out what you want to do with your life," reflects a senior. "The typical students here have a plan and a goal they are working toward." These "overcommitted, fun-loving high-school all stars" are "pretty politically apathetic," but they have an array of other interests. "I think the thing that connects everyone is passion," suggests a sophomore. "Every student brings something different." "There are the students involved in way too many activities just for the sake of activities, the premeds, the counterculture and counter-counterculture art students, B-school partiers, intense architecture students, frat boys, sorority girls who promised themselves they would never join one, the ethnicity-obsessed, and then a huge melting pot of all of those mixed together."
