The best thing about Missouri State is the faculty, including professors, advisors, and staff employees. They are all engaged, friendly, and caring, even if they are not in your particular area of study, they are still willing to help. This is important because students generally have a laundry list of questions when applying for college, so it's nice to feel welcome and to get those questions answered. My application process consisted of me applying to three colleges, one of which was Mizzou (my first choice at the time), but Missouri State won because of how well they treated me.

The community at MSU is the best! Everyone gets along and is always willing to lend a hand. I have met some amazing people at this school that will be there no matter what!
Brittney
I consider the best thing in my school to be the environment of people in the community. Springfield is very diverse and there is something for everyone.
Alyssa
Meeting so many new people and experiencing so many different things that I've never experienced before college.

Missouri State University is a medium sized university that is easy to get around. The classes are very interesting and the teachers are always helpful. The other students are friendly and welcoming. Plus there are tons of campus groups and activities to participate in and meet new people. Also, since the campus is in Missouri there is always a variety of weather experiences which makes for an interesting year filled with warm sunny days perfect for some baseball on the commons or rainy days filled with puddle jumping or mud flinging and snow days perfect for snowball fights and snowmen.

The best thing about MSU is the people; they are all very friendly and willing to help in any way they can. Also, the teachers genuinely care about the students and their needs and want to help us learn. They are professional and knowledgeable as well as caring.
Rachel
The best thing about the school is that the classes are small enough that you do not get lost in the crowd. All my professors know me by name and are there to help any student in anyway.
Shane
The campus, size of the town, wide variety of choices.
