CoMo is a vibrant mid-west college town with a lot to offer! An extensive trail system interconnects different parts of the city while downtown is a hub for students and residents to enjoy the many film, art, music and cultural festivals year round. With a major land-grant research I university, several private colleges, large employers in healthcare and insurance, and a well-educated and diverse population, Columbia has its own unique vibe.
Columbia is a growing town and growing in stronger community. There are many local restaurants and local events that happen in Columbia. Roots and Blue, Homecoming Parades and the Mizzou Football games. Columbia is the heart of Missouri, right in the middle. The town is very diverse, it does have its clicks. The rich people over here and the lesser fortune over there. But going to work, school, the store really helps. The public school and really good. Big in Fine Arts (Theater, Art, Band, and Orchestra ). There are a lot of good class that you can take in High school. We have a Career Center that helps kids get a jump start on on study three Career. I like Columbia a lot of friendly people. It’s like you know almost everyone, but you meet new people all the time.
I enjoy how diverse Columbia is. As a college town, we get people from all over the country, from rural Missouri to immigrants from other countries to people from big cities coming to Mizzou and Columbia College. We've got a wonderful variety of food, community programs, and our famous True False Film Festival, which brings in people from around the world for a weekend of documentaries. What I would change, though, is that there is still quite some bigotry, racism is a big issue, as is homophobia and transphobia, especially towards teens.
