Truman's wide range of academic programs each seem to shine. Many schools are known for excelling in a particular department, but any major chosen at Truman will give the highest level of preparation for entrance into its field.

The best thing about my school is the small atmosphere. Classes are small enough for you to know your professors and for them to see you for more than the work you present to them. This helps students to grow and learn more outside of the classroom.

The best thing about Truman State University is that there is such a wide variety of activities offered. There are many intremural sports, many guest comedians, bands, greek and non-greek organizations, and so many things going on around campus. The week before classes start is called Truman Week, where new students get to know the campus and town, and the whole community comes together to make them feel welome. It was an amazing experience for me.
