Webster’s tuition is “only” about 22K as compared to pricier SLU and WashU. Because Webster has a lot of satellite campuses, it is very easy to do a study abroad semester in Europe or Asia.

Webster is categorized as a Regional Master’s University as it has a very tiny doctorate program. There are 4-5K undergraduates but it feels smaller (in a good way). Classes are small at the undergraduate level and are taught by professors, not TAs. Webster has a strong nursing program, not sure about lab science/premed. The dorms are spacious and maintained well as were all the building.

My kid has also been accepted to Webster for 2012 and would be living on campus as we live on the East Coast and that would be a bit far for a daily commute. :)

The president and provost are relatively new (just over 2 years for each) and they definitely have a vision for the school.
