• Answer:

  St. Louis is a huge, metropolitan city, but a nice one. Kansas City is nice and smaller, and the housing in KC is good, also cheap! UMKC is on a beautiful campus and is in a great place, just off the plaza, close to a botanical garden and the art gallery that Monet's Water Lillis, among other great art, is in. State governments (all of them) only assist their residents, so you can only get state money for school in Washington, as it comes from tax money that you and your parents have been paying into. St. Louis is also a nice place to be, though much larger. I am assuming, since you are just naming the city, that you are talking about the system school? They are both good, and nursing at UMKC in right next to a couple of hospitals, there is a lot of hands on work. State schools have the same fees, but in Missouri they are still relatively low, I am not sure about TN.
