Truman is amazing! The campus is well-maintained, and there are always visitors out and about. It is really pretty during the fall because the changing of the leaves make the campus look vibrant. The professors are highly intelligent. They know their textbooks forwards and backwards, and they are truly passionate what they are teaching. You really get a chance to connect with them while on campus. The students are also unique, bright, well-mannered, and easy-going. On-campus parking is a nightmare though.
I love Truman so much and how its color is purple. The academics here do keep you pretty busy, but you learn a lot. Yes, it is a small town but there are some lovely mom and pop shops around. The campus is gorgeous and green, and there is so much to get involved with. The dorms are super nice, I recommend b&b or cenn hall, if not west campus suites. I also love the student union building because of food favorites like Chick-fil-a and Einstein's. Plus, there is a beautiful fountain in front of it that sometimes has purple lights on it. Everyone here is super nice!
I just finished two summer courses online and the professor for one was very communicative and we actively used a discussion board. The other course's professor was less communicative but clearly laid out the work we were supposed to do. Both made sure to utilize our textbook and integrate it with the online learning side of the courses. I have taken other courses partially online because of COVID (who hasn't?) and the professors did an excellent job of transferring to remote learning. Some classses had scheduled zoom meetings where we held class discussions, others just had discussion boards, all of the professors were actively updating us, and my biology professor even made sure we could still have virtual labs.
