I visited this campus in June 2023 as part of an exploration of Forest Park (which is right across…read morethe street). The architecture is pretty and the campus includes a nice art museum that's worth a short visit. During the summer, it was relatively quiet on campus, but it was easy to visualize a busy place in the fall semester. Did not see many places to eat or shop - but maybe that was on the opposite side of campus (away from Forest Park).

Writing my 1,000 Yelp review for my alma mater - Washington University in St. Louis! What a crazy…read moremoment having only graduated a few years ago. When I asked my friends how many stars they would give WashU, it ranged everything from 1 star to 5 stars, but many of them noted to me that whatever I gave our school, I needed it be just based off of the experience at the school not what I can personally bring into the experience. Having gone to college here both pre- and post-Covid, I would say that WashU has really changed but I regardless would still give it 5 stars because I couldn't be where I am without this amazing schools. Here's some of the reasons why WashU deserves 5 stars, not necessarily in the order of importance. Also, definitely not an exhaustive list of things that i love about WashU, but just to name a few... - The range of clubs, organization, classes, etc. to take on this campus is honestly wild. You could explore your interest in a very in-depth way and also develop interests that you had no idea about. I've taken some incredibly interesting classes and have joined clubs that I didn't know I had an interest about. - The campus is beautiful! So many amazing places to study and hang out whether that's hammocking in the trees or being tucked in a secret study corner in the DUC. There's always a new place to explore on campus! - I appreciate how there's always something going on, on campus. Every week there's so many talks whether that's from the professors themselves or people that the campus hired from outside and so many activities and festival and performances to enjoy. You really couldn't get bored on campus. - I appreciate the caliber of people I have met at WashU. Not only is everyone extremely smart, but everyone always has some side interest or hobbies that make them incredibly talented people who I would love to be friends with. And everyone is excited and open to share with you what they are passionate about as well! - POSITIVE PSYCHOLOGY - This class is actually incredible. The course is about how to become happier, not happy... happier, and it provides a lot of scientific-backed ideas and ways of thinking to go about it. This class, especially if you take it your senior year, is so relevant to the ways we build healthier and happier habits in our lives. I simply couldn't recommend it more. However, there are also many reasons how WashU could improve: - The tuition increases are not ideal. I understand why schools do this to account for inflation, etc., but especially during Covid when everything was online, it felt weird to have a tuition increase for a subpar experience. - The dining food before and after Covid was massively different. For example, Ibbis used to have all you can eat lunch every day of the week but after Covid they decided to have a set menu that barely changes. Also, the quality of the food also dropped while the prices rose dramatically. - I do not appreciate that you don't have the option to be a part-time student if you take less than 8 semesters. Sometimes, especially in your senior year, you just don't have that many classes to take and would like to still be at WashU but not pay $70k to be there. I think there needs to be more flexibility on the definition of being a student. - Like every campus, WashU can be gate-keeping on the types of people who are selected for certain activities. Especially in your freshman year, its hard getting rejected to every club you ever applied to. WashU needs to have a more open door policy especially on the student-run organization level as many of these clubs are run by students who not necessarily have leadership experience or rather had examples of what good leadership could look like. - There could be more robust entrepreneurship culture at WashU. Especially a school with this caliber, entrepreneurship is not as integrated into student life as I would have liked. I think having ideas that corporate isn't the only path to take would be nice to have known earlier on and then it would simultaneously be incorporated through the startup alumni network. I am so grateful to have gone to WashU and I would make the same decision over and over again.

This Easter weekend is the first "student voice" plays in 15 years and I saw the first night…read more The plays are a collaborative skit from student performers and the student screenwriters. The dynamic gave the performers the ability to showcase their talents (dance, singing and instrumental) without losing the meaning the stories were telling. The plays were adult, contemporary, and emotionally moving. After the skits was a brief performer and director introduction plus a question and answer period. My only question is "why was this in the basement theater"... the small audience was nice to be part of, but a larger audience would be nice also. If you want something adult but college youthful to experience this is an excellent event to enjoy.

Everyone at the Luke and Beaufort, SC Campus is beyond reproach all care about their students. They communicate well and look after their students from day one, all the way to even after graduation. Webster University Main Campus however, and those that don't own up to their accounting mistakes and allow their "Alumni" to damage their credit call for this poor rating. My specific case of accepting poor guidance and lethargic action when the University's accounting department (along with the Department of Veterans' Affairs) made a mistake and caused me to incur negative credit charges as well as an extra $400 service fee, all because the four staffers at the Main Campus in St Louis took 4 months to figure out they were over paid. They admitted they made the mistake, to prove their point, they overnighted me a check for the difference to "make me whole"... They had no interest in paying the late fees incurred by their delayed response. All it would have taken to keep me from writing this review and more to come, would have been to simply apologize and reimburse me the $400 in fees... but your university couldn't bear to even respond to that request, much less write the check. Webster University will get bad press from me at every campus I come across the rest of my military career. It's not the 80pt Credit Score hit, or $400, but mostly the principles of being a school students should trust.

Avoid Maryville! The graduate program I attended at Maryville does not care about their students…read more They do not support them beyond basic aid in classes, otherwise you are on your on your own. The curriculum is minimally taught, and the tests poorly correspond with the lectures that are given. If you have any issues with your classes, the program admins will absolutely NOT help you, leading to repeated courses, delays, and failures that should not have been. They do not work with their students, even when instructions are poorly conveyed. They never take circumstances into account if problems arise, and only want their students to be herded through without issues. If you make problems you will get slammed and left behind. Professors and admins take forever to respond, even when urgent responses are needed. You have to arrange your practicum, which they make a horrible ordeal with the amount of paperwork they require and the snail's pace that information is returned. One time I submitted paperwork to have a preceptor, and did not hear back for 3 MONTHS. I felt like professors wanted little to do with their students, only talking to them when necessary for specific assignments. There are so few good things I would say about this school, and so many things that left a bitter taste.

Being gay affected me not getting certain scholarships and acceptance into certain performance groups (I know this from allies of mine that had conversations with the faculty in charge of said groups and scholarships from which I was denied). It is appalling having gone to a university that preaches love but does not act accordingly to all people, just their chosen few. Upon graduation I also received no support but am only contacted directly through email only to try to get me to donate money to them. Which is kind of a slap in the face based off of my experiences there. I hope they get better, but I fear they will not. If you are LGBTQ+, look elsewhere, even if they promise you scholarship after scholarship.
