University of Missouri-Columbia Top Questions

What's unique about your campus?

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
