Corinne from Saint Louis, MO
The General Requirement for this school is like no other. Instead of the boring English 101 everyone takes, I took Play-writing. The small classes make it much easier to learn and get help on harder subjects.

Jordan from High Ridge, MO
Webster University is far better than any other college or University I've gone to. The Instructors and Counselors uphold Integrity and Character and the school stands behind it's culture. I couldn't have chosen a better University to attend.
JOHANNA from SAINT LOUIS, MO
I've never comfortable in school settings until I started at Webster. The professors are the most supportive teachers I've ever met. Attending Webster makes me feel like I'm a part of this bigger family away from home. When I started my works-study at the English and Philosophy department, which is in an old mansion, I instantly became a member of their community.
Eleka from Caseyville, IL
I rate Webster University on their student life, academics, safety, clubs, organizations, and food. Webster University is a small, but very rewarding University. The small setting and caring teachers really make it a wonderful experience.
