Truman State University Top Questions

In the middle of nowhere with few resources except through internet.

The worst thing about Truman is the lack of financial aid I am receiving.

Truman State is located in a smaller town, which means there is not an abundance of palces to go (stores mainly)

I think the worst thing about our school is the way they spend money. I work for them on facilities, a non-scholarship job, and I see the way they spend money. They waste a lot and it frustrates me because I pay about 4000 dollars in tution every year with no schoarship help (just fafsa help).

The worst thing about my school is that change is sometimes slow to come about. However the administration is very attentive and open to the needs of the students. Overall I can't pick out any problems that I have with my school that can't be found other schools.

The worst thing about Truman is that sometimes I feel a little restricted. I feel that we could be pushed a little more than we are and could have some more resources that bigger schools have.

The location. It is in Kirksville, MO which is small and not close to any cities.

The food-service here, Sodexo, is not very good. Fortunately, because of all of the other wonderful things about Truman, the bad cafeteria food is not so bad of a sacrifice. There are other dining options and there is a grocery store that is about 1/2 mile away. Even though the quality of food isn't the greatest, the staff is super-friendly, helpful, and helps make Truman such a wonderful place to be. I love Truman, and you will, too.

It is fairly far away from large cities. This makes it a long drive for most students.

Sometimes it seemed like the university was disorganized and paperwork would take too long to be processed. I wish the academic advising had been better, and especially some more forethought into the practicality of certain majors. Students need to understand the possible job oportunities associated with particular degrees.
