Evan

I love the opportunities Mobap has to offer. They have tons of undergraduate degree programs and several master programs to choose from. It's a great athletic community as the majority of students are athlete's and its not uncommon to catch all the sports teams supporting one another. It's a loving and friendly environment at Mobap with tons of opportunities to advance your career and spiritual growth.

Stephanie

Ever since I first came to MoBap to visit and look around the campus, I was very impressed. It didn't look so much like a college that I would have imagined, it looked more like a home. Everyone is very kind, friendly and very welcoming. The chapel is beautiful and they have made me a believer in Christ once again. Amazing university.

Emily

Missouri Baptist University is a good college. It's not a great college, just a good college. The professors care about the topic they are teaching, but some are definitely more passionate than others. There are different student activities to get involved in; the most popular is the varsity sports games.

Sophia

It's fine but there are some things that I really just don't like about the school. It's really difficult to get involved as a freshman, along with the fact that some of their professors are less than great. My English professor was teaching things that were blatantly wrong, and the classes are not really interested in idea exploration. It's not really interested in the education or what their degrees are worth, and it's more of a sports-oriented school. They also don't have very good food options, especially for vegetarians. I will say, though, that I do love their honors program. It's one of the better parts of the school along with the Perk. Other than that, the school is not really challenging or easy to get involved in.

    Start planning early.

By the time you get to your senior year you should have planned out what will be your classes for your final year in high school, what colleges you want to apply at, and even the back up colleges just in case you don't get in the ones that are your top choice. Planning... That is my advise. Plan every move you are going to make moving forward in your life as a senior in high school.

  3. What's unique about your campus?

    Most people that know me would think my answer to this question would be the athletic programs. While that is one of my reasons for choosing Missouri Baptist University, it is not the only reason. MO Bap. was one of the few schools that offered the degree I want to obtain. I looked all over for something that would incorporate my basket ball, wanting to be a physical trainer and eventually a coach. This institution offered the classes I need to get where I want to be in life.

  9. What's the most frustrating thing about your school?

    The financial aid and records office seem to have been a little unorganized lately. For instance, my scholarship did not get put through until the very last minute which kept me from being able to sign up for my fall '09 classes. While in the records office, I asked three different people the same question and got three different answers; this was very frustrating.
