Truman State University Top Questions

A person who is unwilling to adhere to change, is not well suited for my school. Going to college is no easy task, you have to be able to adapt to new situations, and the unexpected. Someone who cannot take these new experiences and develop them into who they are will not do well at my college.

A person who is not focused solely on academics should not attend this school whatsoever. If you aren't coming here with a solid plan of what you want to acheive in life, Truman will chew you up and spit you out really fast. Academics are very important at this university and if a student is not willing to put their education above everything else, Truman is not the place for you.

Students who value the party scene more than academics.

I would say, if you are not ready to learn, this school will not be too good for you. I would say Lazy students are out of Bounds. We are regarded as the "Harvard of the Mid-West".

I belive that anyone who wants to attend Truman should. They should keep in mind that this is a small school in a small town, but there are many perks. For instance, the fact that the classes are smaller, tuition is cheaper, and we are the "Harvard of the Mid-West." Students who prefer to live in a bigger city should not attend this school because Kirksville only has a population of seventeen thousand. Lastly, if you want to attend a school you should always go on a campus tour to ensure it is the correct one for you!

The kind of person who should not attend Truman State University is someone who is not serious about their school work.

The ideal Truman student wants to participate in Greek life but study hard, writes quality papers but drinks--sometimes heavily--on the weekends, and doesn't mind buying everything he or she needs--from groceries to household items--from Wal-Mart.

Someone that attends school for social reasons rather than seriously focused on studies
