“I was surprised by how easy it is to get around St. Louis. The location of campus combined with free access to the Metro system make it effortless to go shopping, get downtown, or get to my research lab at the medical school.”

St. Louis’ location near the center of the country makes it easy to get here from any part of the continental United States, so no matter where you come from, you will be close to home. And Washington University is only about 15 minutes from Lambert-St. Louis International Airport.

It’s easy to get around St. Louis, too—with or without a car. For those studying on the Danforth Campus, the public transit system of MetroBuses and MetroLink, the light rail system, regularly make trips to the Medical Campus, movie theaters, shopping malls, grocery stores, and surrounding neighborhoods where students live. With your Metro pass, you an take the Metro to Clayton, downtown attractions, or the airport at no cost.
