Truman State University Top Questions

Is the stereotype of students at Truman State University accurate?

Jess

Yes! to the first one. It is hard and you will work hard, but it is very rewarding. You will learn a lot and gain much in the process. There is so much to do at Truman and in Kirksville. Join an organization and do the things that are available to you on campus!

Harper

For the most part, yes.

Logan

pretty close, i think there are many students who are socially inept. i think the administration is making great efforts to improve the sports at truman though.

Mary

yes

Andy

Yes.

Ashley

And its true. The teachers expect a lot from you, and classmates always surprise me. Even the biggest jock or ditz is actually smart. You can't stereotype somebody by their looks.

Natalie

see above

Taylor

ummm.... i would say there is some definite competition here

tom

yes gennerally they are. People who don't fit this category are looked down upon for their hedonistic activites

Laura

Partially. There are a handful of students who are completely against drinking and there are some students who drink daily...but then they don't come back next semester. Kirksville can be boring and the parties are fun, but that is not the only thing to do.
