The best thing about the University of Missouri- Columbia is that there is always somewhere or someone to go to that is willing to help. It has resources for everything from suicide awareness to sexual orientation difficulties. There are also clubs for everything type of student to find others like them like the Pre-Veterinary Club and the Cupcake Club.

Mizzou is a great school where you can experience so many opportunities. University of Missouri had an exciting football season, which was my favorite part of first semester. Waking up on game day made everyone ecstatic. From looking outside the window and seeing a wave of people walking towards the stadium to walking pass greek town and witnessing the students having a blast out in a lawn playing washers and socializing. Since Mizzou's football team went to the SEC championship game the past two seasons, our student section was hyped up for every game.

I think the best thing about my school is all the opportunities we have. There are hundreds of classes to choose from so your options are endless. Also there are over 700 clubs to join and there is always something going on, no matter what day it is. Because it is such a large campus, the opportunities are neverending, which means that you are never bored and you can really get involved in the school. Also, by getting involved in the school, you really build up school spirit, which is awesome to have at a college campus.

Mizzou gave me the best of both worlds. Going in I thought "It's too big," but after becoming an honors student and part of a FIG, I can already see the smaller communities of people within the entire ecosystem. I got the big time college feel, with the sports and reputability, but also small classes and the personal attention that makes me feel like more than just a number.

Melanie

The best thing about Mizzou is the sheer number of resources available, like awesome Ellis Library and the new state-of-the-art Rec Center; not to mention living resources like the huge faculty and a diverse group of peers. Everyone is so helpful, whether they're pointing you towards the correct building or boosting your essay writing skills. I love being surrounded by smart people with intelligent pursuits, and they're in no short supply at Mizzou.

Alexis

The best thing about the University of Missouri is the instant connections I see people make all around me. Whether it be sparked from ungodly amounts of school spirit, their love for our dining hall's toasted raviolis, or attending weekly shows of Comedy Wars; there is something that runs through every students' blood at Mizzou that creates a connection through every one of us.

Jessica

The best thing about my school is that professors and students are acutally willing to help you. In high school my teachers always said that the professors don't really care about you, but at my college that is not true,

David

The best thing about MU is the school pride, you can feel the spirit of the students, faculty and alumni throughout the state.

Genevieve

The best thing about the University of Missouri is the rec facility. It has given me a place to continue take care of my body. Going to workout is no longer a chore and I enjoy every moment I spend there. Whether I am running on my own or going to a class they offer I will always leave feeling great about myself. It gives the students a place to care for themselves as well as providing a productive break from studying.

Kris

The best thing about my school is that there is something for everyone there. It doesnt matter what you are interested in, what your hobbies are, or what crazy thing you like to do. There is some group there that is for you. No one will be alone if they dont want to be. With being only a freshman this past year, it helped so much to be able to find a few groups and organizations that i would attend and enjoy going to to get away from the stress of school.

MaShia

I consider the diversity the best thing about my school. I love diversity and integrating with different people. When you open up to different people, you learn to respect and appreciate them for their differences. All throughout middle school and high school, I went to a school with over 30 different races, ethnicities, and backgrounds. That is so important to me because after college, you have to know how to deal with those who you may not be on the same accord with.

Michelle

The best thing about Mizzou is the real world preparation they supply. Everything I do in school is to give me experience for a job in the future.

Casey

Best thing about Mizzou is how welcoming everyone is. It doesn't matter here what your ethnic or racial background is. It doesn't matter where you come from or where you're going; everyone treats you with respect. It's a very comfortable place to attend school.

Craig

The best thing about Mizzou is the variety of student organizations available for students to join! No matter who you are, there is atleast one student organization for everyone on this campus! Another great thing about Mizzou is it's Recreation Center; it has been consistently rated among the best rec centers in the nation since it was redone in the mid-2000s!

Sam

The best thing about my school is the life it provides. Columbia is a flourishing town with so many different ways of making a living. One weekend I can meet someone who owns a bar, another I can meet someone who runs a vineyard, and I've also met people who work in the agricultural field. I guess the best part about Mizzou is the diversity it brings into my life. I don't think that I could go one day without meeting someone new with something interesting to tell me.

Madeline

At Mizzou, there is an abundance of diversity among the students; racially, nationally, financially, and in many other aspects. It offers a fantastic opportunity to interact and get to know people from situations and background much different from one's own, and gives a sort of crash-course in tolerance and understanding. This is a very valuable opportunity with which to be presented, and will surely benefit students here in many other aspects of life.

kaitlyn

I want to be a nurse and Mizzou is one of the nations best nursing programs.

Katelin

I would definitely consider the best thing about my school is the amount of opportunities it provides its students with. In my first year alone as a freshman I have been involved in a sorority, biomedical engineering society, society of women engineers, an engineering summer camp counselor, and several other organizations. Mizzou has always been great a providing its students with so many opportunities to advance themselves and become involved, not only in the college, but also in the students potential future careers. It is an aspect I have always admired that the university offers.

Emily

It is very easy to get around.

Nichole

The best thing about my school is oppurtunity. The school offers so many different things that if I wanted to change my mind, I could easily switch within the school I have without having to transfer and worry about where to go.
