“Living on campus has really defined my experience with Webster University. When I turn onto Big Bend Blvd., I feel as much at home as I do when I turn onto the street where I grew up.”

“I have loved living on campus more then I could have ever imagined. Since I only live 20 minutes from campus, I thought commuting would be the easiest way to go. At the last minute I changed my mind and I haven’t regretted it once. Living on campus is something that I will forever thank myself for as I grow here at Webster.”

“The very first week of classes, feeling crazy one evening, my roommate and I strolled through every single hallway, yelling ‘Hey!’ through open doors. Luckily, there would always be resounding ‘Hey!’ as the resident walked out of their room with a smile on their face, welcoming our intrusion. We then proceeded to hold a small gathering right in the middle of whichever hallway we happened to be on at that time. As people began to hear us or return ‘home’ from classes, the once small gatherings became congregations of freshmen residents. That night, just walking through the residence halls, I met most of the people I call good friends now...and to think if I had not chosen to completely immerse myself in college life by choosing to live on campus my first year, I could have missed meeting half the people I speak to on a daily basis here at Webster.”

"I only live thirty minutes from Webster, but I decided to live on campus so I could get the full college experience - and it's the best decision I ever made. Living on campus has allowed me to develop all kinds of friendships. I became involved in the Residential Housing Association (RHA) and helped make decisions regarding campus life. My roommate is my best friend, and the people I have met through living in the halls have developed into lifelong friends."

"Living on campus is a great opportunity to meet more people, be involved in more school activities, and have fun. Some of my friends commute, and they don't like getting up earlier and taking the risk of not getting a parking space; they also miss out on a lot of the night activities. I am from St. Louis and I only live 25 minutes away, but I decided to live on campus to get the full college experience. And hey, if I forget my books for class I can just run up to my room and get them!"
