One of the most unique aspects of Webster is how many student organizations are on campus given the small population. Between the approximate 2,000+ students on campus there are 70+ clubs and organizations on campus run by students themselves. Everyone loves interacting with each other and talking about real issues. When tough times hit our country, many students didn't know how to respond. Many got together and reached out into the community to help others cope. Overall, it is a very serving and friendly community to be a part of.

There are numerous student organizations at Webster, geared towards athletics, culture, academics, or simply different interests. Ranging from the book club to the video game club to improvisation theater, students can take part in as many organizations as they have time and interest for. In any way, students can also take the initiative to start their own organization to meet their interest.

There are so many different clubs and activities to choose from that everyone seems to be involved in something, if not many different things. Student Government Association, LGBTQ Alliance, and Amnesty International seem to draw a good percentage of the student body. Humans vs. Zombies also is a super popular activity with both males and females. Although Webster has a lot of commuter students (students that live off campus), the campus life is still very happening. I always find people to hang out with and things to do on campus, in the dorms, or off campus in the St. Louis area.

Multi Cultural Center and International Student Affairs plan THE BEST activities--- lots of culture, trips to STL and other cities, great dances, speaker series, etc. They are the absolute best. LGBTQ Alliance is also large, as well as Humans v. Zombies, GTV, and AAAC. Also, we have an entire organization called Student Activities, whose sole purpose is to plan fun, free stuff for us to do all year.

I would say that the most popular student groups include SGA (Student Government Association) and Campus Activities. SGA is the main student government on council and has representatives from each area of Webster. Campus Activities puts on SO many events for students, whether they are living on campus or not, like karaoke nights, trivia nights, dances, etc. There are also plenty of ways to get involved on campus. If there is something that is not offered as far as clubs or organizations, you can create one! I have friends who have started clubs and the process is fairly easy.

Living on campus made me realize that at Webster, there is always something going on! Whether it be a basketball game, or a movie screening, the events on campus always keep me occupied. I love getting to see movies a week before they're out in theaters. Last year I went to the Invictus premiere.
The area around campus also offers a lot of opportunities. Blackburn park, located about a quarter mile from campus, is a beautiful place to play soccer or tennis, or just relax with some friends. The older part of town also features many restaurants and boutiques to explore in your free time. There is also a Starbucks right up the street, which I find myself in often. The Metro also offers access to all the other parts of town, including Forest Park, the mall, and downtown.

There are 60+ clubs on our campus. This really appealed to me. The biggest club on campus is probably Student Govenment Association. I am involved in Freshman Council, RHA and Gorlok Television.
In the dorms alot of the time students do leave their doors open so that other students can come in and socialize. I met my closest friends in the dorms. I really think that living in the dorms is a good idea. I would say that Webster is not a party school. If you want to party you will have to go somewhere off campus. On Saturday nights hanging out with friends in the dorms is mostly what I do. Off campus there are several dining options that will give you a discount if you have your Webster ID with you. Also, it is important to know that it is in a suburb of St. Louis so it is very safe. Also, because it is near the city there is alot of stuff for you to do there.
