I'm a current senior at Webster. I agree with all the plusses and minuses. Small school, great individual attention. Skip has a bunch of great ideas as the new president. Our new flight division chair seems to be the right man for the job.
We do not have the Cap-10B's anymore. Wing spar delamination doomed these nice planes. I was one of only 2 in my current class to fly them. They were great airplanes and I hope we'll replace them.
Our glider program is still active, but rumor has it we're getting rid of the Grob 109B's for something else. We'll see what happens.
Aviation faculty is excellent. A lot of guys from military, corporate and airlines. Tons of experience among them.
First year tuition for the upcoming year will be expensive. However, we offer a large number of scholarships and grants to help offset that. Plus on campus jobs help even more.
We have a fairly active sports program. Baseball, soccer, basketball and hockey pretty much sum it up.
The fleet is pretty standard: 19 C-172s, 3 Arrows, 3 Seminoles and 4 gliders.
The program is intense and it is not for everyone. Flight dropout rate is something like 2/3. However, stick with it and you will have the knowledge down cold. Great preparation for an airline career.
I'm hoping to work as an instructor there next year. Hope to see you around.
Feel free to ask for anymore information.
