Mizzou is known for being the underdogs in the SEC. In the SEC, we are among the top in the conference in academics, meaning our student athletes do well in the classroom as well as during sporting events. Aside from athletics, Mizzou is a certified botanical garden and our campus is known for the columns that were left behind after the Academic Hall burnt down long ago.

Mizzou, as most call it, is best known for our true school spirit. Everyone bleeds black and gold. Whether they show their MU pride by attending football games, hanging out on the historical quad, or learning in the classroom, MU students never forget about their alma mater. I can go almost anywhere in the country and people not only know where I go to school, but respect it for its academic integrity, forward thinking, and amazing athletics. I will forever be a tiger and I love that.

The University of Missouri-Columbia is best known for starting the tradition of homecoming. It was started in 1911 when MU took on the Kansas Jayhawks at their very own Rollins Field. There is a parade and spirit rally in preparation for the game. Homecoming is now a large part of the history here at Mizzou and it is a very honored one. The tradition of homecoming has spread across the nation and serves as a forum for many homecoming celebrations.
