Webster University — Attraction in Webster Groves

I wish I had never gone to this college. Classes were cancelled last minute after they were paid for and books were bought multiple times. I was a Legal Studies major, and the classes themselves in this department are severely lacking any substance. Every single class, a professor droned on and quoted, verbatim, a PowerPoint presentation. I learned virtually nothing; I felt that I paid for the privilege of getting a paper degree but did not get any real knowledge. The Legal Studies academic office is so disorganized and nobody there can do anything to help you if you have an issue. I was supposed to have a certain number of core classes that I was required to take before graduating, but three of those classes were either cancelled multiple times due to low enrollment, or they were offered at the same time as each other so I could only take one at a time. Webster's solution to this was for me to substitute a non-legal course for one of these important legal courses, leaving me with no ability to learn that class material. To rub salt in the wounds, some incompetent person decided it would be a great idea to hold a graduation ceremony at an outdoor venue with no inclement weather plans. I had to sit in the rain for hours with no umbrella to be able to walk and get my degree, and most of my family ended up not being able to see me graduate because they got pushed away due to the rain. I would NEVER recommend this college to...

If I could give this University 0 Google Stars then I would. My mother was a college alumni from Webster University, thus, it was an easy choice for me to attend. Webster is by no means cheap or affordable for any student. However, I was still determined to attend. Unfortunately, I wish I never would have wasted my money. I have had nothing but negative experiences with this school. From the get go of the Admissions office creating errors on my transfer credits, to the financial aid classifying me as a Freshman when I was a Junior and disqualifying me for thousands of dollars worth of financial aid (luckily I caught it). To this most recent semester where myself and classmates had an extremely negative experience with the professor in our Personnel Law class. Myself and other students have followed the chain of command. We have spoken to our advisors, department chair, the dean of students and even attempted to reach the Dean of Webster University. Our advisors were helpful, as well as the Dean of Students. However, the people that can actually make an impact have not responded to our concerns. It is now Week 8 of our 8 week course, and I reached out at Week 1. No issues have been addressed. This just goes to show, this University cares about one thing. Your money. If you have an issue at this University, don't expect it to be taken...

I want to share this with anyone who is considering attending any Webster University Extended campus across America. I attended the Columbia SC and Fort Jackson campus - became ill in 2016 and 2018. I submitted medical documentation in support of both illness as instructed. We are in 2020 and Webster University in Missouri has not adjusted my account to reflect and nor are they being helpful in this process. My appeal was denied because it did not fit the criteria ( 5 days in the ICU clinging to life) with clots in my legs and bilateral in my lungs, numerous surgeries and other treatments. They refuse to educate me on the criteria and dismissed my concerns by stating this is the final communication we will have with you. They treat our people differently because we make up the majority of their extended campuses. The main campus could care less about the minority population and they make it known. I refuse to let this to go without escalating my concerns. This is not ok! When you fight you win, by not fighting you will lose every time. It should not be difficult to treat someone with the upmost Dignity and Respect. We are not bad peoples because of our skin color - we deserve the best opportunities life has to...
