Been doing some research and came across Washington University in St. Louis. I'm not familiar with the area, anyone have any insight about where in St. Louis this university is located?
Washington University in St. Louis, lovingly referred to as WashU, is located in the western part of St. Louis, Missouri. More specifically, it's in an area known as the Danforth Campus, which gets its name because most of the university's facilities and activities are concentrated there.
The campus borders the Clayton and University City neighborhoods. It's approximately 10 miles from downtown St. Louis, and it's in close proximity to Forest Park, the St. Louis Art Museum, and the Missouri History Museum. The location of WashU allows for a bustling city feel with standing access to green spaces and cultural institutions.
