I know a few grads, but these polls always try to undervalue the school, and others try to lump st.Louis crime with Wash U as reasons for lowering their rank. It's located in the City, but it's also 2 blocks from the Border of St.Louis County.
I believe Columbia "suffered" a bit from this as well, but from what I've been told, they started buying up the neighborhood by their campus so it wouldn't be so sketch (probably a urban legend, but whatever). Is that something Wash U can pull off, as in, are their purchasable areas near the campus or is the crime runoff from an area a bit far off?

They are actually surrounded my older Money, a lot of older money live around Wash U. Problem is, it's also a few blocks away from the shite heads.
Saint Louis U has bought up a ton of Property, but you can only buy up so much. People can still walk from their housing project to the Campus. They have actually wanted to wall it off, like a big complex, but that was considered racist, and it kind of defeats the open, city feel.
