Someone with an open mind, who is into Greek life and is very career-focused.

Mizzou does cater to all sorts of students, but as a freshman and sophomore you need to be prepared for large, lecture classrooms with little individual attention. If you are a good test taker your first two years will be a breeze. I think as a whole it takes a lot of independence and discipline to succeed early on. People who are relatively social and focused fit well at Mizzou. A Mizzou student is a spirited and proud student. Someone who plans on being involved would fit will at Mizzou!

This school is great for prospective engineers, students interested in science, Art students, Journalists, and humanities students of all sorts. Well-rounded, creative students will thrive and find delight here. I absolutely recommend it.

The kind of person that should attend this school should be open to the idea of a big campus, full of many different people from many different types of backgrounds and history.

A person that is responsible and committed to their studies should come to this school. A person that wants to be open to many opportunities that this campus will offer and someone who wants to have one of the best experiences of their life

Mizzou is a large school with some large classes, so if a student is uncomfortable with classes exceeding 100 people in their first couple years, they may want to look somewhere else. We also have a large (and beautiful) campus, but it's easily walkable, but they have to be willing to walk a lot. Students here are both committed to studies and like to have fun, so there isn't much pressure here outside of the Journalism School. The student should also be okay with living in the middle of Missouri, which isn't always the most exciting state!

Honestly, any kind of person could attend this school. Regardless of your interests, there is a place for you at Mizzou. Because it's such a big school, there is no shortage of friends to be made. However, a person attending this school (or any school really) shouldn't be afraid to get involved as its a large part of the Mizzou experience.

The type of person who should attend the University of Missouri must be certain that this is the school for them. It is very heavy on Greek life. It's not as bad as the University of Illinois, but it seems like a lot of people are in fraternities. Socially, one can find friends outside of the Greek system but the campus is dominated by Greek activities. One must take this into consideration. Be that as it may, people here are extremely nice, and overall it is a pleasant experience. The teachers care. The school is a great choice.

During my year experience at University of Missouri-Columbia I believe the kind of people that should attend this school would be both introverts and extroverts. There are many different activities and groups to participate in. You'll meet many people and can be involved no matter what your personality type is. This school would be a good choice for a person who is undecided about their major because of the good range of majors to choose from. This school has spirit and no matter what kind of person you are you can't help but feel the pride.

The kind of person that should attend the University of Missouri-Columbia should be one that can or is willing to learn how to succeed under competition with quality students and education. Someone considering going here should realize that it is a large school with all sorts of people and diversity which allows for a great chance of making friends and getting involved. I would recommend this school to anyone considering it.
