Webster University

I attended Webster University from 2001-2004.  At that time, the campus was in Jeffersonville, IN, but now it is located off Zorn Avenue in Louisville.  I had a great experience at Webster.  The instructors were very knowledgeable in their respective fields. most of them having extensive real world experience.  They are not required to have a doctorate in their fields, but must have at least 18 graduate credit hours in their discipline.  At Webster, you do not have to write a thesis to graduate.  This is a negative if you are going on to earn a doctorate, as a thesis is a good preparation to writing a dissertation.  I did feel that the coursework was very challenging because there was a heavy amount of writing involved.  Overall, I would give Webster University 4 out of 5 stars. 

University of Louisville

I attended U of L from 1998-2001.  I was advised to take two courses that I did not need.  By the time I did a degree audit, it was too late to drop the courses so I had to finish them.  I paid for two classes I did not need and did not get any sort of refund.  My advisor obviously made a mistake and the school profited.  Many of my classes consisted of a mid-term and a final..and that is all.  I was a Psychology major.  Overall, I would probably rate U of L two stars on a five star scale.

Review of colleges and universities in Louisville, Kentucky

I created this web site for Louisvillians to rate and comment on their experiences at local colleges and universities to help guide those who are planning to attend a local college, but are not sure where to attend.

I personally have attended Jefferson Community College, University of Louisville, Webster University and Spalding University.  I have two associate degrees, a bachelor's degree, two master's degrees and a doctorate.  I have had good and bad experiences at these colleges and wished that I had more guidance on some of these instutions as a young college student. 

I hope you find some value in this blog.  Most of all, I hope that you can add some value to it yourselves!
