Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

The pretty campus is routinely one of the deciding factors for prospective students, according to Truman’s admissions office. The campus may be small, but picturesque brick buildings and majestic, shady trees give the University a grander, almost Ivy-League feel, particularly Violette Hall, which is covered in red ivy in the fall. Truman tries hard to match the insides of campus buildings with the natural atmosphere.

Most students agree that the athletic facilities are far from great, but as Truman’s Division II football team is rarely at the top of its division, it’s easy to see that athletics are not the focus here. Conversely, the rec center is new and very convenient. It has a track, soccer/hockey rink, volleyball, basketball, and badminton courts, dozens of exercise machines, and a state-of-the-art weight room. Students eat, study, gossip, play arcade games and billiards, and participate in activities at the Student Union Building (SUB). Truman recently renovated its science building, Magruder Hall, which features almost 50 high-tech biology and chemistry labs, as well as new classrooms and faculty offices. Like most universities, Truman’s facilities could always stand to be better, but for the price, everything is relatively effective and in good condition.

Harvard of the Midwest

There's a reason we're called the Harvard of the Midwest. Our building were modeled after the ones at Harvard. Ivy and brick they are gorgeous. The quad is beautiful and always filled with people on warm days. The campus is contained and compact which makes moving between classes really easy. A few of the buildings are older, but mostly they are beautiful and getting renovated. I LOVE our science building: Magruder. Tons of spaces for group studying and it's just nice.

Generally Pretty up-To-Date

Truman was a campus built a long time ago, and some of the buildings show it. Baldwin, for example, is rather old (and smells like it). Many of the buildings on campus have recently been renovated, such as Ryle Hall, Violette, etc. The library is a very aesthetically pleasing place - largely because, in order to expand, they build a building AROUND the whole library. So you can see where the outside used to be, while in the inside (hard to describe). Some of the books could be updated there, though.
