Missouri State University-Springfield Top Questions

The worst thing about my school would be the school spirit. It lacks majorly throughout campus and should not for the size of my university.

Missouri State University is in a small town, Springfield, which is only about 150,000. Since we are in Midwest , we are looked at as a "hick" town that is not as "socially acceptable" as universities that are in larger cities.

The worst thing about Missouri State University, in my opinion, is its General Education requirement. Students are required to select from a narrow list of classes in four separate categories that appear to be intended to help the student learn more about himself/herself. As an older student, however, I see the General Education requirement as a means to increase university funds. For example, all students are required to take PED 100, which is an exercise class.

I feel that I have no connection to the school pride. Many of my friends have told me that if you are not in a sorority or attend sporting events than you are not connected with the heart of the school.

The worst thing about Missouri State University is that it is very difficult to get your degree in four years. It normally takes about five years to get a normal four year degree. It is very hard to graduate on time because of all the requirements a student is expected to have before they can go onto their careers.

I feel that my school needs a little more diversity.

It is a rather large school so it doens't seem as intimate as some schools.

I can't always get the class times that I want
