University of Missouri-Columbia Top Questions

I wish I had known about more scholarship opportunites at this school. Also I wish I knew just how expensive it was to attend this school, although it is a wonderful campus.

I wish I would've known more about how to make payments on things.

I am satisfied at the amount of information I was provided with.

I wish someone would have told me how different high school classes and college classes are. The two have proven to be very contrasting. Clearly the class sizes are very unalike but that was to be expected. The difference lies in the fact that in high school there was a personal relationship with teachers and students. When people say that in college you are just a number, it is sadly the truth. College classes require more time, effort and dedication. All of which I have been lucky enough to adjust to without great struggle.

Before I came to this school I wosh I would have known some majors including journalism, require students to take 14 credits of a foreign language. This requirement can be bypassed however, if a student already completed four years of a single language in high school. Spanish in college is very hard in my opinion and if I would have known to take 4 years instead of 2 in high school I would have definitely done so.

The major thing that future students should know is that this is a big campus. The downside is that some classes are huge and there is little to no one-on-one time with the students and teachers. The advantage to this type of school and community is that there is a wide variety of people and activites, so there really is something for everyone.

I wish I had known the amount of work and effort that was needed in order to become successful in the career of your choice. Once learning this I have gained the confidence I need to go in the direction of my dreams. I also wish I had learned how to use my time more efficientally and to make the most out of the time that I am given. Time and Desire are the most important values that I have now.

I wish I would have known the type of environment the school had. I did not do any college tours before applying and I wish I would have because then I could have seen that the Univeristy of Missouri-Columbia is not as diverse as the University of Missouri-Kansas City. The type of environment a college student is in can greatly influence the type of experience he/she will have in college.

Not much. I pretty much got to know all I wanted to know before i came

There aren't too many things that I wished I would have known about te University of Missouri because I visited so many times and asked a lot of questions. If there was one thing though that I wish I would have known is how horrible it is to walk from one end of the campus to the other during the fall and winter.
