Since Quadrangle is owned by WashU, there are housing options even available for students who are not […]

Real Talk: Internships and Resumes
Now that I’m in my final year at school, resumes and job applications are a very salient worry for me.

Prague Updates: $$$
So one of the things that most worried me about going abroad was that I would officially be responsible for my own meals and budgeting. Up until this point I had always been on the WashU meal plan – even if it was always the smallest plan available – and that usually curbed the bulk […]

Freshman Survival Guide: Buying and Packing for College
I’m from Southern California, so I didn’t drive to college. I flew Southwest (first two checked bags are free!) and checked in a suitcase and a military duffel bag. I brought my guitar on board with me as a carry-on. How did I manage to fit everything I needed for 9 months into a suitcase […]
