Columbia is a perfectly sized college town. The campus itself is huge and populated, yet it feels so closely to home (coming from a small town). Mizzou holds endless opportunities for involvement. Too many clubs to count, you are bound to find one that fits your interests and personality perfectly. Fun activities such as flag football and sand volleyball are all year around and I had the opportunity of joining a ministry that helped change my life for the better. Unfortunately, I have walked into some years where the structure was a little chaotic with the program trying out new learning tools. However, most of the faculty truly cares about each individual student and the overall spirit is so prevalent. College is definitely harder than high school but you will make it through!
My experience at Mizzou has been great. My instructors are always available to help, and there are numerous activities, clubs, and sports to ben involved in. There are also plenty of leadership, mentoring, and internships available for myself and other students to prepare us for careers after graduating! At Mizzou, there is something for each and every student!
This isn't a college that focuses on academics. Grades are more dependent on class attendance than assignments. Nearly every professor acts as if classes and students are a nuisance. Requesting assistance, leniency due to personal crises, or building a connection with them is difficult. Many of them don't possess basic soft skills and will publicly humiliate students in class. If you call or email them, don't expect a response.
Administrative systems (MyZou) are broken and administrators can't answer questions. Professors don't talk to their departments, departments don't talk to administrators, and everyone is conveniently not responsible for mistakes. It's an embarrassment how much of your tuition is spent on this and sports programs.
For the positives, the campus provides a fun college experience. There's plenty to do and a lot of organizations to be a part of. It's easy to make friends. Countless hours can be spent tooling around the campus and aimlessly exploring.
