Truman State University Top Questions

The worst thing about Truman has to be the food. The food is god awful. We have a partnership with Sodexo and oh my gosh it is digusting. One time my boyfriend found a plastic gear in his food or another time when my chicken was both raw and just covered with a disgusting coat of grease. Honestly Aldi's and Hyvee saved my stomach.

The worst thing about the school is that it provides a stressful atmosphere for many students. The school is academically rigorous, which tends to cause stress to students about achieving high grades in classes.

The location makes it difficult to find fun things to do off campus.

As an art major, one of the worst prospects about Truman State is the inconsistency in the teaching corriculum or lack there of in a few classes within the art department. It is also disappointing that Truman offers graphic design and digital imaging, but not computer animation or special effects animation. Generally, one of the worst things is that registration is so topsy turvy. Classes that freshmen really need to have to gain as a pre-requisite fill up too fast and are unavailable to many freshmen who then, get behind on graduating at the time they wanted to.

Although I love my school there is one thing about Truman that can be frustrating. Truman is located in a very small town in the northern part of the state. The closest city is an hour and a half away. I come from a big city so getting use to the small town atmosphere can almost be culture shock. Activities I took for granted back home, like shopping or finding doctors, are limited due to the size of the town. The school itself tries to provide activities for students which do help but I still occasionally miss the big city.

The worst thing about Truman State University is when I was trying to figure out what classes to take at community college, I had asked the transfer coordinator what I should take. She helped me out a little bit, but didn't send me the sheet that listed every class needed for my degree. Had I had that information, I would be further in my degree.

The worst thing about my school is the location. Kirksville is a small rural town and is a one-eighty when coming from a large city.

The worst thing about Truman State is that it's located in the middle of nowhere. It is a long drive to get home because Truman is so remote.

I think the lack of diversity socially, economically, and racially. The majority of students are white middle class students between the ages of 17-25.
