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!
The Theatre and Dance department (of which I am a part of) is truly one of the most compassionate and helpful families I could've asked for! This goes for staff and faculty AND my peers alike. The campus is beautiful, and the facilities are grade A! Missouri State actively wants to see you succeed and provides the resources to make that possible. They are there for assistance, without holding your hand throughout the entire process. Missouri States 3 Pillars of Public Affairs are Cultural Competence, Ethical Leadership, and Community Engagement. This allows for a safe and productive learning environment. My only real complaint would be the lack of diversity, which I do see efforts being made to address the issue.
Overall, MSU is a wonderful place for students regardless of background! As a music major especially, there are tonnes of resources and support to encourage newbies to grow. The music program treats everyone like family.
My biggest complaint is that the campus food is entirely lack luster. The PSU has good food only because they are normal restaurants, but the campus cafeterias (Blair-Shannon especially) are a total nightmare to eat in, with students leaving containers open and the staff hardly bothering to make sure that the food is fresh before serving.
The professors are always friendly and down to earth. As someone who studies in obscure musical theory, it's wonderful to have multiple people knowledgeable in the subject.
