Alum: I am thankful for my undergraduate experience at Washington University in St. Louis. The college has great connections for post-grad opportunities in multiple fields - business, medicine, research, engineering. I was easily able to switch between the Arts & Sciences program and the Business School at the end of my sophomore year. There is a huge focus on medicine, so even for other career paths there are healthcare adjacent offerings (e.g. Healthcare Management, Bio Medical Engineering, Global Health, Psychology/Neuroscience/Philosophy). The brand name and resources do carry for other non-health related professions too. The classwork can be tough so it's best you find out which paths are a good fit for you in terms of academic rigor, class size, and teaching style. Your counselors can help with this. Good size of the school - not too big to get lost, but not too small to know everyone and the campus is very very beautiful! I suggest visiting and talking to alum to learn more!...

Sophomore: I love that I get to be a part of Marching Mizzou and that the campus atmosphere is super engaging and exciting. Going to football games is a fun highlight, especially getting to perform on Faurot Field with some of my friends and peers. I wish that there was more to be done about campus dining and offering more nutritious options on the go. I also wish that campus parking would be improved, but I understand that it's a busy college town with lots of people coming and going every day. Despite that, I enjoy my classes, and I have met a lot of amazing people and professors. While there are over 30,000 students, the professors are good about offering office hours and getting to know their students on a more personal level, assuming that the student wants that. On top of that, there are fun places to visit such as the Missouri Theatre, Ragtag Cinema, and lots of local restaurants and shops. Being off campus can seem disconnected, but it definitely isn't. It's a neat place to be. MIZ!... Read 3,366 reviews

Sophomore: Missouri S&T is an excellent university, and is top-notch within the state. Campus is very pretty, interconnected, and easy to travel through. The meal variety has improved significantly in recent years, and campus continues to improve and expand with the 300 million dollar grant given to the school recently. All of my professors have been helpful and engaging, and the reputation of this school proceeds it. I am only a sophomore and I am already getting internship offers! The career fair here is huge and job recruiters highly value an S&T degree. Rolla itself leaves something to be desired though. I feel safe on campus and student life is not nearly as bad as people say. There's plenty of clubs and organizations to join. The town of Rolla is super walkable and has plenty of shops, parks, and restaurants to explore. If you are interested in a STEM degree or desire a highly academic environment, S&T is the school for you.... Read 1,039 reviews

Senior: As far as the cost, it is actually more affordable than most schools. There are tons of clubs and activities that anyone and everyone can join. Although there is Greek life on campus, it is very very different than it is like at other campuses. This is the same with sports as well. Classes are amazing, and their online system makes it easy to enroll in classes without necessarily having to visit your advisor every time. As far as professors, some are great and some are just awful. I have had a couple teachers go out of their way to help me with certain questions and assignments and I will also remember them. However, I also remember the couple of professors that honestly just did not care, and myself and many other students always had the worst scores in their classes compared to classes with other professors. As far as food and housing, things obviously changed a lot during the pandemic. Most of the school is made up of commute and foreign exchange students, which makes UMSL diverse!...

Alum: A great international experience with a lot of access to different courses that enrichened my holistic learning. Not only was I able to get involve in different activities but the environment at SLU was perfect for me to concentrate on my studies but be able to have fun at the same time. Professors are always available to help and students are incredibly open to meeting others and welcoming international students. I had the pleasure to be able to work at the international office and get to meet all students and organize activities. Not only did this help me build relationships for trained me for my current job position. I would say that every event and experience at SLU will prepare you for a successful future.

Sophomore: I transferred to Maryville from Saint louis University. At Saint Louis University I felt that my educational needed weren’t being met. The professors didn’t teach that well and were not there when I needed help. At maryville, the professors are very understanding and helpful. They help you with more than the course they are teaching and if they can’t help you they always make sure to find someone who can. The professors at Maryville really want to see you succeed unlike the ones at Saint Louis University. Everyone is welcoming and there are so many events at Maryville that helps you fit in with the right group for you. Maryville also have life coaches which are a huge help! They help you with almost everything whether it be academic help, scheduling, finding jobs, etc. The life coaches always check in on you making sure you are doing okay and if you’re not they always try to make it better. I’m really enjoying my time here at Maryville!... Read 702 reviews

Junior: Last year, making the switch from a community college to Webster University was difficult at first because of the increased academic responsibilities and a bigger campus. However, Webster's strong support network changed my experience. The facilities offered by the university, such as tutoring programs and devoted academic counselors, were crucial in easing the adjustment. A sense of belonging was promoted by the friendly community, and faculty members were easily accessible for assistance. Furthermore, Webster's focus on student participation promoted relationships with classmates. My academic and social integration grew thanks to these services, making the transition from what felt like a huge change to Webster University a smooth and fulfilling experience....

Freshman: There are a lot of things that I like about Rockhurst, and one of them is the student to teacher ratio. Rockhurst has a 14:1 student ratio and it makes it really easy to get connected with your professors and makes the learning experiences better. Rockhurst also has great student resources to help everyone succeed in college. They have everything from student counselling to peer coaches and advisors to help you succeed in all of your classes. Rockhurst also police on campus and nearby to make sure you feel safe at all time. Another thing I like about the campus is how beautiful it is, with the cool buildings, clocktower, and flowers everywhere around campus. The only thing I would like to see change is more people coming here!... Read 419 reviews

Freshman: My freshman experience as a civil engineering student at William Jewell College has been transformative, shaping my academic and professional aspirations. The challenging curriculum, supportive faculty, and hands-on learning opportunities have fueled my passion for engineering. While I appreciate the strengths of the program, I also believe that improvements in facilities, internship support, industry connections, and diversity and inclusion efforts would further enhance the educational experience for civil engineering students. As I embark on my journey as an engineer, I am grateful for the foundation I have built at William Jewell College and eagerly anticipate the growth and opportunities that lie ahead....

Alum: I loved Drury. I thought the professors were some of the best teachers and mentors in my life and I feel lucky and grateful for the education. I have a lot of respect for Drury, particularly after getting my masters at Missouri State. It’s more expensive, but it was worth it looking back. The professors are actually specialists in their field and they take the time to care for each student’s experience. I feel proud to be an alumni! It changes your education to feel valued and heard. There’s a mutual respect between faculty and students and you can tell they want students to succeed, which you don’t realize that’s actually not always very common until you’ve been to other schools....

Sophomore: I love Truman! It checks off every box in what I looked for in a college. It's academically challenging, has DII athletics, and is highly affordable. Known as the "Harvard of the Midwest," Truman is both reputable and worthwhile. Located in a cute, historical town, the Truman community is tight-knit and unique. The connections and friendships you will forge are seriously awesome; you can make a meaningful difference in both the school and local communities. Truman State builds your character so that you come out an even better person! I learn and grow every day here. If you're looking for an experience that will prepare you both for your future career and life, this is the place to go!... Read 1,090 reviews

From the first day on campus I have felt so welcome. The Blue Jay are so helpful. There have been many time where in have needed my professor just to be there while I do my work and they will do that for you. They are very generous. The student body is so warm and welcoming. The best thing about campus is CAB and all of the fun events around campus. The free food trucks, the bounce houses, and the build-a-bear at every student event gets everyone involved....

Alum: I went the large D1 state college route right out of high school, and with the large lecture hall style classes, it was hard to find time to talk with professors. At UCM, professors are really dedicated to your success, going far beyond anything I had experienced at the state college level. With some of the more difficult classes that I had, I was able to meet with professors outside of class on a fairly regular basis and connect on more of a personal level, something I thought would be lost after high school graduation. This was incredibly essential to my success. The campus size was also a great benefit. While I was a little hesitant attending a college that had a campus smaller than the family hog lot, I grew to love this aspect. It made for smooth transitions into new semesters with new class locations, and allowed me to condense my daily scheduled time on campus to allow more time for studying and extra curriculars. I would highly recommend UCM. Go Mules!... Read 1,266 reviews

Freshman: Being an international student, I was worried that I was going to be a misfit and feel so miserable in college! But the Lindenwood campus is diverse, friendly and very welcoming. From the students to the staff, you are always surrounded by love and kindness. Another thing I lobe is that the school spirit is always fostered and promoted by the various activities hosted on campus as well as the different sporting activities. There is a wide range of sporting clubs to join and you can easily find where you belong. One thing I would lobe to see changing about Lindenwood University is the food. There are only two dining halls on campus which limits the variety of food. With time, you get tired of eating the same food! Also international students do not have a lot of funds allocated to them, I hope we as a school can attract more donors so that international students can get good scholarship packages....

Senior: If you're looking for a Christ-centered community, dedicated professors who truly care about your wellbeing, an education that will prepare you for your field, and friends for life--look no further. Southwest Baptist University was an answer to prayer for many, including me. There has been a bit of drama recently regarding the school board etc., but that did not stop me from learning and growing exponentially in my time there. It's bittersweet finishing up my last semester, as I realize I'm saying goodbye to the place where I've made so many memories, while diving head-first into the mission field it's prepared me for. Also, it's been said they "give out scholarships like candy" and I didn't have to take out a single student loan. Private universities don't have to cost you an arm and a leg! Go for it!...

My professors were easy to talk to, and I never felt like I was running out of resources. Overall it’s just been great.

Junior: This college is awesome! I honestly saved more money financially and didn’t take any loans out. The teacher are amazing and very understanding when it comes to you and your work problems. I personally would recommend this college, many will say it’s basic to go to a community college but when you graduate ask them if it was basic after they have taken all those loans after you have taken none out! Your experience here in OTC will be fun! More hands on in whatever field you choose and also remember it’s more faster then a bachelors. OTC is a fun way to get your associates the fastest and easiest way. Being debt-free and also have a more hands-on experience when it comes to the classroom you’re taking, not just in the field you’re doing. You can explore other different types of fields and different types of classes to discover what is best for yourself and for your future. My experience how do you say has been far amazing and I love it, Thank you OTC for choosing me as a student. Thanks... Read 761 reviews

Sophomore: I have so far loved the professors at my time here, and as a student-athlete, they were very understanding and always strived to support me with weighing academics and athletics, and this really helped me with stress. I took some online courses over the summer and for the online classes the only problem I had was sometimes communicating with my teachers could be complicated. Overall it was a good experience! The dorm life is amazing, and really great compared to other top universities, the food is ok, a lot of times it can be really different but they always have a salad and sandwich bar if theres nothing in the cafe.

There are many resources for students to use, including first-year mentors, free tutoring, career services, and mental and physical health services.
