My overall experience at the University of Missouri has generally been good. There are plenty of opportunities to excel in academics, networking, and personal growth. The impetus is on you to take advantage of these opportunities!
My first year at Mizzou was an especially trying year. It was 2020, so most classes were online. It was pretty difficult to make friends at the time. The campus felt incredibly different to what it would become in the future.
In regards to academics, Mizzou gets a bad rap for being a party school but I argue otherwise. Mizzou has excellent faculty and students that make it an incredible university to attend.
The core values of the university are Respect, Responsibility, Discovery, and Excellence. In your time at Mizzou, you will have to demonstrate and master all 4 of these values to crack the nectar of Mizzou and drink from its prosperity!
