I loved absolutely everything! There is always something going on on campus to go to, and Missouri State offers so many free tools like the library and the rec center. I have met so many new people and made so many friends. My very first college semester couldn't have gone better. I was willing to put in the work, so my teachers were willing to help. Everywhere you look on campus, there are people from all different backgrounds. I've been to football games and hockey games and they were both so much fun, I can't wait to watch some other sports. I am so glad I chose Missouri State University and my life would be so different if I wouldn't have!
Missouri State University provides a plethora of opportunities to its students including recreational, pre-professional, and social activities. We have excellent staff who really care about the students as people, not as numbers. Missouri State University is the second largest university in Missouri, and it has been growing rapidly in recent years. I have loved living in Springfield for the past two years. There are so many opportunities on and off campus. I have also worked on campus for one year with some incredible people who love what they do. I couldn't BEAR being anywhere else!
I have not been enrolled as a student at Missouri State University, since I am only a Senior in High school. However, I have been on a college visit and spoken with students and professors at this school. The campus is very nice, it is not too big, but not too small. I also really like the bear bus they have that can pick you up and drop you off at designated locations, it is very handy. MSU has also made efforts for safety, which is something I am very happy about. I can't wait to start school at Missouri State University Fall of 2019!
