ArchiGraduTourists

The WashU architecture program is hosting an open house over the next few days and Saori and I are going. We both paid a $300 event fee, for which WashU will fly us out, put us up in a decent hotel, feed us, transport us, and take us around to various presentations, tours, cocktail hours, etc etc. It's a pretty good deal considering $300 would just about cover airfare if we were going on our own. All we have to do tomorrow is hop on the plane.

We're both working on lists of questions. So far-

• where's a good place to live?
• what's studio culture like?
• are there any good places to eat around campus?
• are the studios more digital or handcraft oriented?
• what's the typical credit load?
• what studios are available?
• when do we have the option for a semester abroad?

On the flight over, I'll brainstorm some more. Our trip will be pretty jam packed, and we get back Saturday. This should be fun- its just occurred to me that I've never even been to St.Louis, so at the very least, its a new pin in the map.
