University of Missouri-Columbia Top Questions

The University of Missouri has a beautiful campus. The student recreation center, student commons center, dormatories, and classrooms make students feel as if they are on a vacation rather than at school. The city of Columbia, as well as the falculty, staff, and administration all exude school spirit. They make students here proud to be prospective, current, and alumnus. The University of Missouri has more to offer than just parties and the typical college life. When students are here, they actually have the opportunity to discover themselves, and feel that they can actually change the world.

I brag about the activities to do on and off campus here. The social life here is amazing, it's a huge school so there's thousands of people to make friends with by being involved in all the activities.

The rec center is amazing. People are always impressed with the opportunities the rec provides. I am sure to show everyone around when they come to visit and the rec center is a must.

I dont brag about my school but when I do talk about my school it would have to be how wonderful the professors are. This is what has really made this school a wonderful experience.

It is supposedly ranked within the top 50 universities in the U.S., so hopefully students who graduate have better career prospects than students from other colleges. It is also supposedly the "Harvard" of journalism schools.

My professors are tops in their fields. They're approachable, personable, and professional. Many are published authors and respected by peers in their disciplines. The dorm rooms, from what I experienced my freshman year, were clean and provided a nice living space. There's always plenty to do at MU.

When I tell my friends about Mizzou, the first thing I talk about is Marching Mizzou. I'm a member of the band, and it is so easy and fun to get involved in the athletic side of the University. My advice for incomeing freshman would be to get involved in all kinds of activites, may it be sports, academics, or organizations. Getting involved is easy at The University of Missouri and it is incredably beneficial. Being a part of a community organization looks good on you resume, and it allows you to make and use leadership skills.

When I am talking to friends about my school, I always mention our tremendous amount of school spirit and pride. Mizzou is a nationally recognized university and all of the students here are so proud of our athletes for bringing attention to our school. At the football and basketball games, the sea of yellow is amazing, almost breath-taking. Thousands of people come to the games to support our athletes and many schools do not have that kind of support. I love getting into my gold jersey on game day and getting decked out in gold and black.

I brag about how large my school is and how beautifully the campus is laid out. Mizzou is known for being a botanical garden, there is much landscaping done here and beautiful flowers are planted everywhere. I also brag about our authentic buildings found around campus!

There are many opportunities for experiences that you could not have otherwise; study abroad is available as a freshman, the "Mizzou Mafia" of alumnus are in almost every major city and will help you find a job, internships, classes, and meeting amazing people. Even football games are a completly new and amazing experience that I couldn't imagine being the same or better anywhere else.
