Lol #14 Washington University-STL

It's on par with any of the Ivy League schools. The East Coaster take full advantage of the school and it's programs. They always undervalue the School, but those who are looking at the best in this Country, know Wash U is on par with any of the so called top10.

If your wanting to be in Medical Fields(doctor,research,etc), your either Going to Wash U, John Hopkins, or Harvard. You could put those schools 1,1a,1b.

Did you (or family) attend Wash U or do you feel some need to defend it due to being from St.Louis,Mo?

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.

Saint Louis U, get's killed by people, because of the Cities crime, when they do comments about schools and polls. Absolutely killed, which has always been unfair.

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?

Ya, we are probably talking about paper thin margins in the scoring from 5 to 15. This isn't college football.

UF is ahead of UT, No way those central Florida rednecks should be higher

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.

I love it, especially considering its academia types who came up with the idea.
