College Prowler Take
The dorm system is acceptable for entering the school, but many students tend to flee off campus after their freshman year. Many students also believe that the residence halls themselves vary widely, but the selection process tends to be rather random. It is highly advisable to go into a dorm for your first year, just to let the overall feel of Mizzou sink in. But many freshmen get sick of the dorms by the end of the year, especially when they have to follow silly rules that don’t apply to off-campus living (like not being able to have beer bottles in the room). Some residence halls have themed floors that reflect a particular major. For example, Laws hall has the “world of business” that caters to business majors, while Cramer has the journalism and mass communication theme. This allows students to cohabitate with others who have similar classes and interests. Getting into these can be tricky, especially for the more popular halls. Despite the halls’ transient nature, you are likely to meet plenty of new people, regardless of what dorm you’re in freshman year. Students Speak Out

Better social dorms include Hatch, Hudson, Gillett. Johnston is a quieter dorm. The dorms certainly provide a good opportunity to meet people. |

Dorms are dorms, but try to avoid Schurz, Hudson, and Gillett. These are kind of small, but if you’re pre-med or pre-vet, they’ll assign you there anyway. |

Alright, Wrong Choice

The dorms are all different. The one I chose is boring, nobody knows anyone, and I hate it, while ones my friends live in are very social and fun and everybody is connected. The cost is way high, especially for out of staters. The housing process is difficult, but I'm sure some schools are worse.

I stayed in Hatch. It was okay; coed by wing or floor, and not too far from the center of campus. I would have preferred to stay in Rollins or Gillett (also coed by wing or floor) or Johnston (all female). Rollins, Gillette, and Hatch are not air conditioned, which was fine for me, but my roommate had difficulty with it. Johnston has air-conditioning. |
