Aerial of Washington University in St. Louis

Sitting in the shadow of downtown Clayton and across from Forest Park, Washington University in St. Louis's main campus (The Danforth Campus) is vast. It is so huge that it sits in St. Louis City, Unincorporated St. Louis County, Clayton, and University City, and this doesn't include the large and expanding medical campus in St. Louis City's Central West End. Since 2006, the university is now served by two underground MetroLink stations.

To the upper right is downtown Clayton. The new student center and Social Sciences/Law building, under construction in the photo, are now complete. To the left center is the student housing residential campus. Above and west of the residential complex is Hanley Blvd. condo row and the Saint Louis Galleria area. Bottom left corner is the Washington University in St. Louis Sam Fox Arts Center, which includes College of Architecture, Graduate School of Architecture & Urban Design, College of Art, Graduate School of Art and the
Mildred Lane Kemper Art Museum.

Amazing pic. There looks to be a pretty large gathering of people in that courtyard (close to the center of the picture).
