Missouri University of Science and Technology Top Questions

The location of the town it's located in. The town lacks activities that larger cities ofter, such as concerts, malls, sporting events, and a broad choice of dining. Rolla is halfway between St. Louis and Springfield, both about an hour and a half drive, and to drive to one of those cities just to do stuff is kind of a drag. The only decent dining in Rolla is an Applebee's, Denny's and fastfood . It would be nice if there was more to do.

The worst thing about Missouri S&T (formerly University of Missouri - Rolla) is probably their parking policies and procedures and their large lack of parking spaces.

The lack of females is quite possibly the worst thing about our shcool. It is on the minds of the men; so they drink more, and it is on the minds of the women; so they act differently. This change of a social dynamic affects the situation with the surrounding town as well as general class interactions. The change in general class interactions leads to decreased learning and increased awkardness in most classroom settings.

If one is unprepared for the workload upon entering S&T, it can be overwhelming. Hence, many students feel they are "in over their heads" when they begin their first semester. Needless to say, I wish I had asked more questions about the academic demands before I started my first semester... I would have saved myself from several weeks of panic and self-doubt!

The school itself is nice, but there isn't much to do. All in all, its a pretty boring location.

At our school, there aren't as many women as there needs to be. Since it is an engineering, science, and technological university, it attracts more men than women leaving it with a ratio of 1 woman to every 3 men.

The worst thing about my school is the town it is located in. The town of Rolla is very dull and does not have very many cheap things to do for fun.

The social life away from drinking including athletics. There are so few students at this campus that want to hang out without alcohol and few that attend sporting events. There are even fewer who actually play sports for fun.

The Math Department.

The male to female ratio 4 to 1

Worst thing about my school is that the guy to girl ratio is 4/1.

If you want to be a well-rounded student, you have to really search out the humanities and social sciences. They exist, but you have to look for them. Also, like most universities, there's a little bit of a drinking problem, so if you want to avoid it, make a conscious effort to be involved with friends and/or groups that don't advocate drinking. If you enjoy it, please visit during St. Pat's weekend.

I am very outgoing, so the level of engineering intellectuals who do not talk much can get on your nerves sometimes, but there are enough people like me around as to make it not really a factor...until you end up in their damn lab group.

The teachers are very good at what they do but it seems as though most seem to care more about the research that they are performing and less about the instruction that is given during the hour lecture they are torn away from their research. The lack of enthusiasm for daily lecture makes it difficult not only for the teacher to attend lecture but the student body that attends thier class. It makes the lecture more of a motion in life more than a period to enlighten the students about the subject they instruct.

The worst thing about attending MS&T (which also ties in with the local community) would have to be the lack of culturally enhancing activities: ie. jazz clubs, art studios, dance clubs... I have found that a lot of students have a tendency to hit the bars on the weekend, because "there is nothing else to do".

Very few good looking women.
