Hi, There are several good, safe apartment complexes on Forsyth Blvd, about a 3 block walking distance from campus, and near a Metro station. These may be a bit pricey, however. Another suggestion is to check out the reality company Front Door at
Apartments in Saint Louis | FrontDoor, LLC . They have a number of properties in the St. Louis area and some near WashU. WashU's guide to housing can be found at
Guide to the WU Community . If you have not found a place yet, they do have a link for temporary housing on this page. Finally, there are apartment complexes in the Delmar Loop area. Some neighborhoods in this area are completely safe, and others are not. Please be careful and visit before choosing a place in this neighborhood! Hope that helps.
