What is the Taylor STARS Guide?

This guide is a compilation of advice written by Taylor STARS students since our community was created. We recognize that WashU is a heavily wealthy institution and it can be isolating entering this campus as a low-income, first-generation student. The purpose of this guide is to provide you with information that seeks to “de-class-ify” the student experience at WashU! COVID-19: Because of COVID, there are some aspects of the guide that are no longer applicable. Additional information with the label “COVID-19” where applicable are made in most of these sections. However, there are definitely some that we may have missed. So, check the hyperlinked websites or offices with the most up-to-date information! If you have any suggestions for updates to the website (or if you find any errors), please email the SPC team (deneb.spc@gmail.com).
