Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

Columbia is a quaint little town. Much of the architecture on campus and in town is very old-fashioned looking, but the town is deceitful. In Columbia, you can always find something to do, whether it's hanging out with friends on campus, going downtown, attending house parties, or just walking on Katy Trail. Students do spend a lot of time on campus, not including class time. Students play Frisbee on the quad, soccer/football on Stankowski Field, or just wander around with friends enjoying the weather. When students need a break from campus activities, they step off campus right downtown for some more walking and sightseeing.  

Mizzou is not the only school in the Columbia area. The University also shares the space with Columbia College, Stephens College, and MACC (Moberly Area Community College). Stephens and Columbia colleges are both located within walking distance of MU's campus. There is no rivalry between the schools, and many close friendships are formed between the students.

The Atmosphere at Mizzou

My experience at Mizzou is that there is always something to do if you are willing to look for it. On campus, there is always something going on. If you have an interest in something then there might be a club on campus that pertains to that interest. If not then its very easy to start your own club. The downtown area is filled with places to eat ranging from bar and grills to sushi and even Indian food. The people are nice and very laid back so if you do get lost, then it is perfectly fine to ask for assistance.

Mizzou-RAH!

With a city like Columbia that centralizes around a stadium crammed with adoring fans in black and gold, the annual True/False Film Festival drawing in everyone together downtown, and the town's unified movement to stay healthy and become more environmentally friendly, during Bike, Walk, and Wheel Week, making the claim that Columbia is full of life is an understatement.
