University of Missouri-Columbia is a school that seems welcoming enough for any type of person. However, in my opinion it isn't for someone with a closed mindset.

The major pro is that Mizzou is a university that caters to everybody.

Someone should not attend Mizzou if they get intimidated by large lectures or large campuses. Mizzou doesn't seem that large to me, but only because I'm used to it. My sister, however, went to a much smaller school, and says that she would not have been able to handle the size of the campus right out of high school.

This past school year at mizzou has been an eye opening experience for me. I've met a vast array of people with very diverse cultural backgrounds. If you are someone who is really conservative and doesn't like to mix with people from different walks of life then this school might not be for you. Mizzou is also a very huge school with a large number of students. If you like a more intimate setting in classrooms then you might encounter problems with some of the huge classes at mizzou.

The University of Missouri is an awesome school who has alot to offer students to make them feel cmfortable and involved.The type of student who should not attend this school is one is does not typically work well in large class settings (lectures), is close minded, not open to getting involved around campus, and does not express a huge amount of school spirit.

Any student who needs a more intimate learning setting, where they can interact with their professor often, will be largely out of luck at the University of Missouri. Many classes, especially General Education classes, are 500+ student classes. Also, as in most universities, there is a large party scene, which is fine. But unfortunately, I watched as several of my schoolmates couldn't keep up with school because of their excessive partying. While this is something that may be a problem at any school, the ease of party availability at UM makes it particularly easy to fall behind.

People that are not willing to work hard or dedicate a lot of time to studying should not attend this school. The academics at this university are at a high level and if one is not determined to do well then they will greatly struggle.

I noticed that students from small towns often experience some degree of difficulty assimilating the larger city and the larger classroom sizes.

If you are intimidated by a large class size and have trouble being self motivated

People who are uncomfortable with being surrounded by many people they don't know and those who don't do well in large lecture halls.

You should not attend this school if you are not able to keep yourself motivated and do your school work. So many people get distracted too much with friends and partying and this hurts them when they need to focus on homework. People who go to this school need to have good time management skills.

If you don't want to do your work and be a student, don't go to the University of Missouri. In fact, don't go to college.

A person who does not like a big school shouldn't attend MU. There are thousands of students in and around campus, and many classes have over 100 students in them. I think that while MU is a big university, it is located in a smaller town, so there is a bit of balance to help combat the feeling of being one person in a big place. If someone is looking for a fashion or other arts degree there may be more opportunities for them elsewhere despite MU's efforts to be supportive of those students.

None, I think it can be a college for everyone. Maybe not for someone that wants to go to college in a big city

Someone who does not want to be exposed to people with diverse backgrounds and life experiences. Someone who does not want to have their mind opened by new knowledge should not attend this school. Someone who wants to live in a large urban city should not go to this school, because Columbia is a medium-sized town located two hours from a large city. Someone who needs immediate access to a large aiport should not go to MU.

Someone who is reclusive and likes small classes with lots of one on one. Most students start out taking mostly large lecture classes so if you don't like that then it will make your learning experience more difficult.

The person that shouldn't attend this school is one who is easily overwhelmed by large numbers, or a person who prefers big city life or country life. Columbia is a mid-sized city, not a big town, but you aren't in the country anymore either.

timid people who need a lot of attention and help with schoolwork

Slackers

Someone thinking about attending the University of Missouri should be very confident with themselve. I am sure you are asking why. Well, the reason is because we have approximately 30,000 students and when enrolling in such a large institution one may get the feeling of being lost in the shuffle. The classes range from 30 students all the way up to 500 students. College for anyone, is a time in life when you step away from the home you know and move out on your own. Going to any large institution takes a confident, self-modivated individual.

A person who doesn't really like to be around people or prefer a small teacher to student ratio should definitely think twice about coming to this university. Now, it is a fact that this school has smaller classes but you?ll for sure run into some 500-student lectures.

There is only one type of person that shouldn't attend this school and that is the people that don't want to go to school.

people who feel that partying is what school is about shouldn't attend Mizzou. It becomes easy to focus on your social life and forget academics. Colombia College is right up the street...

Anyone could find a niche at Mizzou if they tried hard enough.

A person that is from a very small town, this school is very big and can be overwhelming for people that are used to a smaller community. Also, if a person wants to join a greek community they need to be ready to be regected by some. All in all, people attending this University need to be ready for a big town feel and difficulty in finding the right fit at first.

Someone extremely conservative should not attend this school because most of the staff and professors are very liberal, and they may grade you harshly if you do not agree with their views.

All kinds
