Financial Aid
Financial aid can be very simple at Webb. First of all, Webb provides a full-tuition scholarship to all students; this is possible because of a huge endowment created by the beneficence of William Webb and the generous contributions of others. Thus, the only major expenses are about $7,000 a year for room and board (living in a mansion is not cheap!) and about $300 to $700 per semester for books (though for the first semester of freshman year it

It is most unfortunate: a stellar social life is one of those things that students generally have to give up when they come to Webb for their college education. There is just no way that a school averaging around eighty undergraduates can offer the same amount of social diversity and opportunity that, say, a state school with 20,000 students can offer. This hard fact, coupled with the intense technical workload that Webb requires and (for many male students, at least) the realization that, in some years, you can count the female students on two hands and a foot, tends to make life at Webb seem almost monastic at times.

Local Community
Finally, some reports indicate that there is life outside of Webb. Glen Cove is a quiet suburban town, with a movie theater, various stores, several different churches and houses of worship, public beaches and parks, and the all-important Taco Bell (it stays open the latest). Students with musical talent are welcome to join the North Shore Symphony Orchestra. In addition, students can hop on the Long Island Rail Road and be at Pennsylvania Station in midtown Manhattan in under an hour and a half. Of course, if you have a car, all of Long Island and New York City is within a couple of hours driving time, at most. Students also participate in the Solar Splash Competition. The students work all year on a solar electric boat and then travel to the competition, which has recently been in Buffalo and Arkansas. So, in summary, there are a lot of fun things to do at Webb, both on and off campus, if you have the time
