This past school year at mizzou has been an eye opening experience for me. I've met a vast array of people with very diverse cultural backgrounds. If you are someone who is really conservative and doesn't like to mix with people from different walks of life then this school might not be for you. Mizzou is also a very huge school with a large number of students. If you like a more intimate setting in classrooms then you might encounter problems with some of the huge classes at mizzou.

Any student who needs a more intimate learning setting, where they can interact with their professor often, will be largely out of luck at the University of Missouri. Many classes, especially General Education classes, are 500+ student classes. Also, as in most universities, there is a large party scene, which is fine. But unfortunately, I watched as several of my schoolmates couldn't keep up with school because of their excessive partying. While this is something that may be a problem at any school, the ease of party availability at UM makes it particularly easy to fall behind.

People that are not willing to work hard or dedicate a lot of time to studying should not attend this school. The academics at this university are at a high level and if one is not determined to do well then they will greatly struggle.
