Washington University is conveniently located in the center of the U.S. in St. Louis, known as the “Gateway to the West.“

Lambert International Airport offers daily flights to every major city in the US and to connecting flights throughout the world. The city has been influenced by its French history (named after King Louis IX of France) and its German immigrants (as seen in the Anheuser-Busch brewery).

Its rich cultural life and cuisine offer great weekend venues for students who want to take a rest from studying. Washington University is an integral part of the city, and offers a traditional campus feel with historic buildings and modern facilties such as the Gary M. Sumers Recreation Center.

Campus housing is provided for undergraduate students only, but LLM students normally find close and convenient housing around the campus with easy and safe access to the university.

Admitted students can be put in contact with current students as well as with our office to find out more about housing options. The map shows the areas that are predominantly inhabited by LLM students.
