Better staff. Lots of rude people in the book store. Very low income. Maybe focus on spending more money focusing on the people than building new buildings. No one is going to fill the buildings and classrooms if they aren't taken care of. Better food. When I was in the dorms, breakfast was pretty much just different versions of the same thing. (Eggs, potatoes) Mix it up a bit!
Missouri Southern has a great online business program that works well for working adults. All ther professors are great and are happy to assist students in the learning process. Their career services department provides excellent tips and assistance in job searching, writing cover letters and building resumes.
I'm disappointed in the lack of online options for the master's in management program. The program was designed to be for working professional, but isn't set up that way. The program mainly offers a lot of evening classes several of which begin at 5:30pm, which is not conducive for working professionals.

I love everything about this campus in Joplin, MO. The faculty and staff are friendly and always greet students with a smile. The campus is very diverse too. I love that there are so many clubs and organizations and if there isn't one for you then you can create one! I also really enjoy all of the activities that CAB presents throughout the semesters.
