Since 1878, Student Life has been the official student newspaper at Washington University. Operated by

students and free from university control, Student Life monitors the pulse of the university and its surrounding community. Three times a week, 82 times a year, Student Life is distributed to students, faculty and staff on campus free of charge and publishes news, sports, arts, opinions, entertainment and advertising that reflect the interests of Washington University students.

 

Student Life takes great pride in its vigorous and reasoned editorial voice--a voice heard regularly by nearly every student and faculty member at

Washington University. We believe it is our duty to focus on the university’s environment--its strengths and weaknesses--to make Washington University a better place. Student Life covers major issues on and off campus. Regular coverage includes stories on financial aid, tuition costs, curriculum changes,

campus construction, campus safety, tenure decisions, minority issues and the effectiveness of student government.

 

Student Life also highlights the opinions of Washington University’s distinguished faculty and staff as well as providing information on their latest research and publications. And if you’re interested in

stimulating interviews with campus speakers like Kurt Vonnegut, Greg Louganis or Spike Lee, Student Life brings them to your doorstep. But after all, we are students, so we’re not serious all the time. We believe that college life is much more than academics. We’ll keep you posted on dorm life, extracurricular activities, athletics and campus night life. We’ll show you where students go to have fun, relax and be creative.

 

Student Life is more than an award-winning news source, it’s provocative and entertaining. Be a part of our commitment to excellence and follow your son or daughter’s college life. Who knows, they may even make it into the pages Student Life!
