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 good sized city. Not too big and not too small. It has that "small town" feel with all of the amenities! The downtown or the "District" is a fun place to hang out and has a lot of interesting shops and eateries. The Katy Trail is a great resource for exercise and sightseeing. The city is bike friendly, easy to walk and very easy to navigate by vehicle. It's also convenient to hop onto I-70 for a quick day trip to St. Louis or Kansas City!
Very friendly community! There are lots of recreational activities including hiking, biking, running and walking.
