Safety and Community at WashU: A Student’s Perspective

is it safe to live near Washu hi my name is Jackie and I’m a sophomore at Washu so for this question I would say it’s really really safe to live on campus so the school is actually located in Clayton which is one of the if not I think the safest neighborhood in Saint Louis so you’re surrounded by really nice neighborhoods and just a really nice community in general for the time that I’ve been on campus I have never experienced anything unsafe or dangerous happening in terms of like crime or any like strangers on campus my twin sister goes to UC Berkeley and I can definitely say that’s a whole different experience there where surrounding campus are just a lot of crime and homelessness there is nothing like that here WashU everything is really really safe in Saint Louis definitely some areas are more like unsafe than others but as a student you’ll never have to go to those areas anyways so the WashU campus itself is so safe it’s literally like a Utopia within Saint Louis but because of that can sometimes be a bit of a bubble hope this helps and follow for more
