The Mizzou campus is very unique. At the very center of it sits a historic building overlooking the green, beautiful grassy quad. That building is known as Jesse Hall. It holds the offices of the registrar, bursar, ticketholder etc. Right in front of Jesse Hall are 6 massive stone columns. The columns are all that is left from Academic Hall, the original center of Mizzou. It burned down in a fire in 1892. Jesse Hall was later erected as a replacement. Around the columns is a square of brick buildings. They are offices, classrooms, and museums. This part of campus is known as "Red Campus" because all of the buildings are made of brick and look red. Southeast of Jesse Hall, by Lowry Mall is Memorial Union, a massive white stone tower. The buildings behind that, mostly used as classrooms and psychological research buildings, are all made of white stone, earning the region the name, "White Campus." While few people know these distinctions or these nicknames, the areas look very different. Both are very beautiful. The Mizzou campus is stunning. It's the ideal image of collegiate life. My favorite spot on campus besides Memorial Union is actually right behind my residence hall. One of the agricultural engineering buildings sits next to Hatch Hall. There are these large stone steps under light tree cover that are perfect for summer/fall studying. The steps are comfortable, few people walk by or bother people studying. It's a great place for solace in a hectic college lifestyle. The great thing about Mizzou is that there are dozens of places like that hidden in different corners of campus.

University of Missouri has a beautiful campus.

One thing that Mizzou has that no other school has is "Speakers Circle". It is a circle in the middle of campus where anyone can say anything at any time. For example, many religious people preach from inside this circle. There have been times where Brother Jed (a Christian preacher) will be preaching to hundreds of students who have been walking by and stopped to listen, which brings on a lot of debates. One of my favorite things to do on campus is to walk by the circle and see if anyone is speaking. What's special about this circle is that there are only 2 in the United States. The coolest part about it is that it is architecturally designed to amplify your voice. You don't need to yell or bring a microphone.

Besides the immense school spirit and amazing sports, the thing that I most cherish about Mizzou is the education I am receiving. Our academic are top notch, competitive, and incomparable to most universitys. I am in a very academically competitive environment, and nothing makes me more proud than when I get an A in an extremely difficult class. I know that later on in life, the education I am getting here is going to get me a Ph.D. and forever aid me in my endeavors towards success. The academics are definitely the best part about going to Mizzou.

The best thing about my school is football season and greek life. Mizzou has the biggest homecoming tradition. Being that homecoming originated at MU the festivites last all week, especially for greek students. Mizzou has an outstanding, newly-built student center and one of the best recreation facilities in the Big 12. There are many organizations and activities on campus for you to make life long friendships!

I would say that the best thing about my school is the setting. There are lots of places during the warmer months to sit outside and enjoy nature. The campus is a botanical garden, so it has lots of trees and flowers. The landscapers for the campus do a great job of keeping everything green and blooming. It makes the campus seem more upbeat and welcoming, which helps with the moods of those around campus.

The primary purpose of the fraternity is to encourage and develop high scholastic achievement among its members. Required study time is helping me succeed in college.

The best thing about my school is the diversity. There are students and faculty of all races and ethnicities and I feel it makes campus a comfortable environment for everyone to be around.
