[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, does she live on the Kansas side of Missouri or the St. Louis side?

I could not do the Kansas side of Missouri.  It is too flat and full of suburban mcmansion strip mall living,  an non stop football.

The St. Louis side is much prettier, and has many little ethnic neighborhoods with different character that kind of grew together.  The architecture is more charming as a result of the history of the city.  The topography of the land looks a lot like parts of Virginia, just a little hillier with more winding roads, which might help with homesickness.  If she feels like she hasn't found her people in Missouri, Webster University in Webster Groves just outside of St. Louis might be worth visiting.  The school is smaller and gives good merit and financial aide.  The students are often atsy liberal arts type kids, vs Go Chiefs midwest sports types.  Webster Groves is a cute cute cute little town just outside of St. Louis proper, with nearby Kirkwood a few minutes away, and areas like The Loop not too far.

Webster University is a school worth exploring, or at least visiting.  You might even get enough scholarship money and aide to put it close to your budget.

She could easily get enough merit or aide to put the entire thing right withing your budget.

Webster has a fairly vibrant performing arts conservatory that gets kids from all over the country, including east coast kids.

It also has some really great study abroad opportunities, including the UK and Austria.

Have her take a look at Webster.   It might give you a good in state option.[/quote]
