Hello. Congrats and welcome to WashU!! My name is Kamal and I’m from California. I graduated from UCLA in 2022 and did some research there during my gap year. My experience at WashU has been amazing. The students, faculty, and overall environment are super supportive and everyone wants everyone to succeed. On top of that, the school has limitless opportunities that you will have a chance to read about in the Dis-O Guide. As for the move to St. Louis, I was definitely apprehensive about the move to the Midwest from the West Coast, but my experience has been awesome. St. Louis has so much to offer and it just comes down to how much you’re willing to explore and try out new things. This guide will give you a deep look into all things WashU and St. Louis. Happy reading!

Hi, my name is Anna. Congratulations, and welcome to WashU! I graduated from Johns Hopkins University, where I studied molecular and cellular biology and public health studies. Coming from a coastal city, I was a little anxious about moving to the Midwest. However, settling in here has been a great experience, and I'm genuinely happy with my decision. The dynamic and collaborative environment here is truly inspiring. I found the Dis-O Guide incredibly helpful while making school decisions and exploring housing options in St. Louis. I hope you find it useful and fun to read as well. If you have any questions or need guidance, please don't hesitate to get in touch!
