Overall ExperienceWhat's This?

Mizzou offers so much to its students that it is hard not to fall in love with the school. The school provides many internships through your major and different work-study opportunities dealing with specific career paths. The difficulty of the classes and the toughness of professors prepare students for work outside of school. MU is unique because it gives students so many opportunities; whether you would like to be a football star or a vet, it offers both and everything in between. 

If students had to go back and redo their college application process all over again, Mizzou would still end up being many students' choice. MU offers students a lot of opportunities to advance their career paths, minds, and friendship circles. The school has provided students with everlasting experiences and knowledge.

The District

Since the campus borders the downtown area of CoMo there are a number of places to eat within walking distance. In the mood for pizza, head to Shakespeare's. A burger, Booches might be the place for you. Cant decided between a burger, wings, wrap, salad, there are a number of sports bars nearby, Campus Bar and Grill, Bengals, Shiloh, Harpos, The Field House. In the mood for late night breakfast then head to the Broadway Diner or Earnies. Got a hot date? Flat Branch Brewery, Addison's or Blue. All within the downtown area known as The District and an easy walk from campus.

Flexibility!

I am in a PhD program here at Mizzou and I have seen that you don't have to be a genius to succeed if you work hard. Establishing that sort of reputation here has motivated my authorities to work with me on my weaknesses and most other programs are not that flexible. Thus, I see that as being a good characteristic about getting an education here and it is still very respectable as well. They don't give away degrees like no one should, you have to earn them but if you get stuck while showing effort, there are sources allowable here that facilitate assistance towards your issue(s).

Good Most Times.

This is the south Midwest thus it is prone to severe storms and tornadoes but aside from that I have seen some very beautiful days here in this part of country. It is not gorgeous all year round but when it does come, it is easy to enjoy it.
