Life Beyond Greek

Its really difficult to socialize out of the greek scene at first. It seems as though every single person on campus is greek and stick to their own "type". However, it is important to join clubs or study groups that help you meet people. There are other options for meeting people outside of Greek life, even though it is such a major part of the MU campus.

New Student Center!

MU just built a ridiculously expensive three level student center with many (non-chain) eateries, ticket office, bank, computer labs, student lounge and quiet study area. It is so nice, and extremely well kept, never any messes lying around (unlike Memorial Union). The quiet study area in the basement has the biggest and most comfy leather chairs, to study or nap in during the day

It's a Joke

Financial aid is hard to get through Mizzou, just like any other state school. It is all depending on parental finances, even if they aren't contributing a dime. Very uncompasionate finacial aid department, and none of them are willing to spend more than 2 minutes on the phone trying to help you resolve a billing issue. Wish I had better to say about this aspect, I love my school, hate having to pay every dime for it.
