Friendly staff, students, and organizations on campus. Tons of events always going on so there is always something to get out and go do. Many resources on campus to help you with your education. Living on campus is set up so that you don't ever have to leave campus for anything! There are 8 dorms, 3 dining halls, and various places to park. We have a bookstore on campus that has everything you need for school, including supplies and BearWear! Dining halls have a variety of foods (salad bar, grill, pasta/pizza, two lines that rotate different meals each day, cereal bar), and there at lots of other vendors like Panda Express, Starbucks, Einstein's Bagels, and Chick-fil-a. All the instructors I have worked with have been friendly and always willing to help with understanding the material in their class. If you show respect, they show it back. Gen-Ed classes could be 30-90 students in a class, but some can seat up to 200. Once you get into your major, you are below 30 in a class.
Missouri State has an amazing Teacher / Education program and is very present in the national music scene as well. I am a music education major, and this school has by far been the best choice in the state for me, personally. Nothing about Missouri State is below average, but many things about the university are above average or even amazing!
The classes at Missouri State are the perfect size. They are large enough to meet a variety of people, but small enough to still get individualized attention. Springfield is a wonderful college town and perfect for the, “first time leaving home.” On campus, there are tons of activities and opportunities to meet others with shared interests. Every professor I had seemed to truly care about me as both a student, and as an individual. I loved my time at Missouri State and would highly recommend it to anyone!
