"I love living somewhere with professional sports teams. Going to see Cards and Blues games with friends is one of my favorite memories at Washington U."

St. Louis is alive with activity. There are music clubs and dancing, comedy clubs, and poetry readings. Theater ranges from the latest Hollywood blockbusters to art films, from Broadway shows to leading regional productions. On campus, Edison Theatre brings in dramas, dance, and music productions.

Art museums and galleries bring the best in the world—past and present—to St. Louis. The music scene reflects St. Louis’ best in jazz, blues, rock and roll, and performances of the symphony. And St. Louis shops and restaurants cater to every taste.

Sports & Recreation

No city is more sports-minded than St. Louis. From a pickup soccer game in Forest Park to the Cardinals’ baseball, Rams’ football, and Blues’ hockey teams, professional, college, and amateur teams are supported by the city’s avid fans and add to the excitement of St. Louis.

Tennis courts, swimming pools, golf courses, and bicycle and jogging trails are accessible from every neighborhood for those who prefer individual sports. And just to the south, the diversity of the Ozark plateau offers hikers, canoeists, and campers a near-wilderness experience close to home.
