Music to our taste buds: Student Life staff reviews Gramophone sandwiches 

tudent Life ventured out to The Gramophone STL one recent spring evening to taste-test their famous sandwiches. Here’s what we thought! 

Best annual party

Though they may spend the vast majority of their time tucked away in studio, art school kids sure know how to throw a party. Every year in April, Art Prom hits the Wash. U. scene as a fantastic “last hurrah” before the finals hibernation period.

Best class

While many of our classes prepare us for our professional aspirations, no class better prepares us for personal interactions than Intro to Sexuality Studies.

Best secret study spot

When it’s time to crack down on work, you can hit up a familiar study spot like Olin Library, where you’re guaranteed to find hundreds of other suffering students. Or, you can opt for a quieter, lesser-known location: the DUC Formal Lounge.

Best professor

Three times a week at 11 a.m., students rush the doors of Lab Sci 300, shoving past the stream of winded freshmen trying to leave. The students are hurrying to get their front-row seats for optimal viewing of professor Richard Loomis’s next general chemistry lecture.

Best a cappella group

Whether it’s the Nice Jewish Boy, the Southern Gentleman, That Guy or any other stereotype, the all-male a cappella group the Stereotypes has been consistently wowing crowds at Washington University since 2001.
