I'm new to Archinect, and have been following the "2013 M.Arch Applicants, Commiserate Here!" thread. The regular updates and news have been very helpful. Congrats to all who have been accepted!

I have some queries regarding one of the programs I have been accepted into - Masters in Urban Design at WUSTL, and would appreciate input from both, the students currently attending the program, as well as alumni. In order to have a better idea about the program, I would like descriptions/ opinions about the following points:

• Atmosphere @ WUSTL, right from the M.U.D class to the university and campus
• Description of the “action-research” studio and the summer International Studio
• Current faculty/ visiting faculty and the courses taught by them
• Overall experience @ WUSTL

Thanks!
