CAMPUS, CULTURE & COMMUNITY
As Switzerland’s most cosmopolitan city, Geneva’s spirit of cooperation made it the ideal site for Webster’s first international campus in 1978. Home to the European headquarters for the United Nations and numerous international organizations, Geneva has a long history of diversity and tolerance. Its humanitarian tradition began with the creation of the Red Cross and continues today as home of the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights. Citizens from over 175 countries reside in Geneva and as a city of only about 530,000, Geneva is frequently referred to as the world’s smallest truly global city. The Geneva campus is the most culturally diverse in Webster University’s international network and welcomes students from nearly 90 nationalities each year. Webster Geneva is a park-style campus environment located in Bellevue, Geneva, within sight of Lake Geneva and the Alps. Just eight minutes from the city’s central station by train (every 15 minutes), the campus is only a five-minute walk from the Bellevue lake front. On campus, students will find well-equipped classrooms, a library, computer labs, recording and photographic studio, art room, cafeteria, the Student Hub and a student lounge which includes a game room and fitness center.

I found the space to take initiative by contributing to organizations and had access to resources at the United Nations as a place for study and networking, especially at the conferences and events. I will always keep Geneva in my heart!” ALEXANDRA BELIZE Northeastern University
