Before You Arrive
Attend Orientation
Welcome
From the Students…

“Since day one, WashU has felt like my second home. When I first arrived on campus, a team of students were there to greet me and welcome me with open arms into the WashU community. I started joining new clubs, hanging out with friends on my res college floor, and exploring everything WashU has to offer. Soon enough, I had found my place at WashU, surrounded by friends and a community that does everything it can to make you feel like you belong.”
– Jacob Blum, Class of 2021
