University of Missouri-Columbia Top Questions

Journalism School is the best. Business School is the nicest There are tons of Greeks!

I think there are some stereotypes that all of the successful students are involved in Greek organizations. When I came to Mizzou, everyone told me that Greek town was for all of the popular kids who had alot of fun, and that is how you had to make friends. But, in reality, that's not true. There is a large Greek community, and it's very strong. But it isn't as wild and as crazy and it is made out to be. And, many of our campus' top leaders aren't Greek. I never joined a sorority, and I have never regretted that decision. Don't feel pressured one way or the other; Greek or non-Greek, there is an opportunity for everyone to succeed and become involved. There was also a stereotype that Mizzou is too big and that it's not a top-tier school. I challenge any university to offer all of the diverse range of classes, involvements, and traditions that Mizzou offers.

everyone here is involved in greek life

I would say that I went in thinking 'big party school' and 'lots of sororities and frats' I was pretty excited about school so I didn't focus much on the sterotypes as much as decoratiing my drom room!

Honestly, I can not think of any stereotypes.

A definite stereotype about mizzou girls is that they're incredibly attractive.

Very Greek. Too many STL people.

Most people's impression of Mizzou students is that they are hicks. Drunk hicks.

Country/farm people, hicks, close-minded

Columbia is "little St. Louis"
