First of all, congratulations on your acceptance to WashU. Probably one of the most underrated colleges considering their vast resources they have.

I'd start looking for apartments now. April and May are likely the best months to start looking for apartments and the best places go within hours. Knowing what you want specifically will allow you to stay ahead of the market because it allows you to establish what is and isn't negotiable.

If you can't be there in person for a viewing, it's likely that a current student in your program can visit the place for you and provide photos/feedback on your behalf.

In addition to the places offered above, I'd add the Zoo, Shakespeare in the Park, the old courthouse, the muny, tower grove park and Soulard's Farmer Market.

For food, I'd recommend Felix's Pizza Pub, De Palm Tree, Pharoah’s Donuts, Sweet Art, Fountain on Locust, Salt+Smoke, Rooster, Polite Society, and Blueberry Hill.

For what it's worth, I didn't find a need for a car in St. Louis and I lived there for 6 years. The buses and the light rail will get you to mostly any location where you'd want to be. The biking community was also growing if that's of any interest to you.

Thank you!! I am so so excited to have gotten into WashU and cannot wait to move! I am hoping to be able to find time over the summer to fly down and see St. Louis in person before officially moving so fingers crossed! But thank you so much for all the suggestions! I cannot wait to look into them when I get down there!

Hi! I recently committed to WashU's Audiology program!! I have never been to the city but I am so excited to move to STL! I have wanted to attend WashU for the past few years! Any advice for me in regards of how to look for apartments? The best sites (touristy and not) to check out and just really anything else you can/want to tell me about the city!
