Although the possibilities for exploration and growth are limitless, there must also be community standards by which we function. The most basic of these is respect. The University has established standards by which members of our community can work and live together. Listed below are these expectations as well as responses to them as seen through the eyes of two current students. At any major university, students enroll and study in hopes of being transformed.
Many students see the university as a way to find both themselves and a career.
Washington University does give this opportunity, but the school goes so far beyond that. With its unique, diverse, and excitingly fresh residential life system and campus programming activities, students are also given a valuable opportunity to find out about all types of other people. Students at Wash U. find themselves in a body that welcomes them. RA Being an RA at Washington University has given me the opportunity to view this University from many different angles. I would say that the overall advantage that Wash U has over other schools is that the people truly care about us and about our well-being in every aspect of our lives.
