Pros: Low-cost living
Cons: More than 1/3 of town is STUDENTS (Only a con if you're a local!)
Summary: Columbia is the TRUE college town. Two colleges, one flagship university and a lot of bars, movie theaters and coffee shops.
There's ALWAYS something to do in Columbia -- tons of free movies, concerts and speakers on campus, lots of art ... read more

Pros: Everything I could have asked for
Cons: none
Summary: The University of Missouri-Columbia is one of the top schools in the nation. And as a former student of this school, I can vouch for that. The campus is located in the heart of Columbia's downtown area which is full of history and beautiful historic ... read more

Pros: Columbia is probably one of the coolest towns in the MidWest....
Cons: Laughable that MU is a part of the Columbia community.
Summary: I am a graduate student at this illustrious institution of higher learning. I served 4 years in the military and it took me almost 10 years to complete my bachelor's degree because I moved from campus to campus as the government saw fit to move me. I ... read more

Pros: Friendly, highly educated, inexpensive
Cons: Only a few of everything
Summary: I have lived in Columbia Missouri for 6 years. It has been named the top small city to live in by Money magazine more than once. I know why. The people here are super friendly. It is also incredibly cheap. Yes, it is possible to get a decent 2 ... read more

Pros: academics, social life, extracurricular activities

Pros: Great Time
Cons: Took up some study time.
Summary: I went to MU from 1993-1997. My first two years I lived in a dorm and played Intramural sports. I was on the athletic chair on my dorm floor so I was very involved in sports. I was the coach and quarterback of my team. We went to the playoffs both ... read more

Pros: Diverse activities, bars, people to choose from
Cons: College only lasts 4 or 5 years
Summary: I like to read epinions on things and rarely do I post. My only reason for really posting at all is to respond to someone else's epinion that incorrectly alerts a person about a product or service. As I saw in another post, I must respond to some of ... read more

Pros: J-school is second-to-none
Cons: Provincial attitudes
Summary: I was able to turn my MU degree into an award-winning radio job in Chicago.
I majored in Journalism from 1986 to 1990 at a time when the school was considered the top J-school in the country. It probably still is, thanks largely in part to ... read more

Pros: the people (students, staff, and faculty)
Cons: parking
Summary: Mizzou memories began in 1992 when I entered the University for a degree in Wildlife Management. I ended up staying nine years and working as a police officer on campus for five of those years. I feel that I really got to see what that University was ... read more

Pros: Air conditioning, suite bathrooms
Cons: Walk from campus
Summary: Ok, we all know that dorms are not the best place in the world to live, but if I had to live in one for the rest of my live, I would want it to be a lot like Mark Twain dorm at Mizzou. I'm not saying I loved everything about my experience there, but ... read more

Pros: Amazing facilities, the best professors, inexpensive
Cons: Tough program, few survive
Summary: I attended the University of Missouri-Columbia from 1994-1998 and must say that it is a wonderful school. The department I must give the highest praise to, however, was my own Department of Art History and Archaeology. I can only comment on the ... read more

Pros: Swimming pool, air conditioning, private bathroom, private shower, ethernet
Cons: slightly more expensive, further away from campus center
Summary: When I applied to MU, I had absolutely no idea where I was going to live. College life was a big change, and I was really confused. I heard that Mark Twain was one of the best dorms, so I decided to look into it.
After comparing it with the ... read more

Pros: Excellent instructors
Cons: Lean toward the graduate student
Summary: The University of Missouri in Columbia is a wonderful school. The life on campus is stimulating. Thirty years ago, it was a great party school. My guess is that it still is. The town of Columbia is an excellant place to live. Lots of eating places ... read more

Pros: Journalism school, alumni contacts, Greek system
Cons: Extreme weather
Summary: If you're a journalism major, you go to MU. It was impressed into my intellect from the womb, and I'm glad I'm here. Not only does MU offer the best journalism school in the country, but it's situated in the ideal college community. The Greek system is ... read more

Pros: Great party environment
Cons: Have to be 21 to get in
Summary: Mizzou is one of the best, if not the best party school in Missouri. I have visited the school to see one of my friends about 10 times, and let me tell you, the night life is outstanding. The best bar to get into, if you can get into it, is the ... read more

Pros: hmmmmmmm.......
Cons: segregation of everything
Summary: If you have ever seen the movie PCU, then you have been to the University of Missouri. The social scene here is so incredibly segregated, it's hard to believe. The first distinction: Greek or Independent. If you are not Greek, you are a loser. If ... read more

Pros: Good School, good campus life, great campus, located in great city
Cons: mindless bureaucracy, $$
Summary: The University of Missouri-Columbia is a place I both love and hate. I guess that sounds funny, but let me explain.

Pros: Chance to experience the world in a small town setting.
Cons: Apathy threatens to ruin what makes the school great.
Summary: The University of Missouri is a place that's going to stick with me for life. While being a student there, I've learned more about life and grown more as a person than I think I ever will anywhere else. Within the confines of Columbia, MO, I've been able ... read more

Pros: Successful journalism program, great college town
Cons: Not all degree programs equal, large classes, the occasional incompetent professor
Summary: MU was the only college I actually visited as a high-school senior. I knew I wanted to major in journalism, and I knew the word was, MU was one-stop j-school shopping. After the visit, I wasn't sold exactly, but I knew it was a perfect marriage of ... read more

Pros: school spirit, value
Cons: non English speaking T.A.'s, T.A.'s teaching many lower level courses
Summary: I'll have to admit that I was a little surprised to learn that the University of Missouri- Columbia (a.k.a. Mizzou) was rated as the best value in the nation. This school was my fall back school because it's pretty inexpensive to go to or in state ... read more
