Jalese

My school, also known as Mizzou, is a very OPEN school. You can basically do whatever you please in any aspect, pertaining to your choice of extracurriculars, your major, your resident, and more. It has pretty much everything you can think of. If you're a loud, and outgoing person, there are clubs where you can expose and flaunt your individuality. If you're more conservative, they have activities and clubs for that as well. I will not be able to stress it enough how many resources Mizzou has to offer for those who are in need of help.

The University of Missouri-Columbia is undoubtedly the most amazing institute I have ever attended due to the amount of humble zealots for knowledge I have met both inside and outside of classrooms, the professors who ensure their students success, the warm welcoming smiles strangers approach me with, the amount of Tiger pride roaring across the entire college town, the beautiful campus itself, and how I feel like I am at home whenever I am on campus—that is why I love my school.

Maddie

If you're into pretty, then I would have to say campus is kind of beautiful. The buildings very in styles (and are being renovated all the time), but we have many central "quads" where people study, many trees and gardens, and one of the central walking malls is paved in red brick. The student union is probably the most gorgeous, with a castle-like spire. For the most part the campus is completely compact and self-contained. Personally I love that, because you get a strong sense of "being on campus" and being a college student, whereas some schools have buildings scattered throughout the town. Not to mention, everything is in walking distance, and if you want to get off campus Columbia Downtown is only a few blocks away.

Melyssa

If you have never been to a big campus before, it can be a little overwhelming. There are over 150 buildings on campus, and almost all of them are pretty big. However, most of the buildings have been remodeled so it looks really nice and modern. It honestly looks like a city.

If you had me describe the University of Missouri in one word I would have to say diverse. Not only diverse regarding ethnicity and race, but including attitudes and personalities. There are students here at Mizzou that attend all of the games and get super involved in different activities, and there are also student here that have academics as their number on priority. On campus you can alsways find a group of students doing something crazy and fun, and you always see people relaxing on the Columns studying.

Amanda

The University of Missouri is a very diverse, exciting, and renowned university that offers many choices for students both acadmically and non-academically with extr-curricular activites; there is so much to do, and one would never feel as though this large school is too big because there are so many activities a student can choose from that he or she likes that will give the student a sense of a small school, which also applies to the classroom, the class sizes can be large, but each student can still receive the special attention he or she needs.

MU is an excellent combination of a large, multi-facited, multiple-college, state university, and small-town, friendly environment with undrstanding, kind, and expert faculty.

A school full of opportunity and diversity. It give the sense of independence and yet you are not just a number. There are many different clubs and organizations to fit your needs no matter your preference. The programs set you up for success and is located in a college town that caters to students.
