University of Missouri-Columbia Top Questions

Is the stereotype of students at University of Missouri-Columbia accurate?

Robin

Academics at Mizzou can be easy depending on your major and the classes you take. I'm a biochem major and my classes are not easy. However, if you're psychology, elementary ed, or business, your classes won't be too difficult. Mizzou is not the number one party school in the US. Mizzou has not been on Playboy's list in years. Go some where else if that's all you want to do in college. Mizzou has awesome football.

Erika

There's definitely a strong greek life, but more than half the students are not in it.

Parker

For the most part yes, but the predominately Greek comment is not true at all

Anne

No, stereotypes are not accurate. You can be a leader at Mizzou no matter what group you are or aren't involved in. If you have a commitment to helping others and trying to make Mizzou, and the world, a better place, than this is the place for you.

Jesse

no

Alex

The party part was right, and I decided I didn't like that early on

Bhoag

I feel that my experience at Mizzou has been pretty much stereotype free

Charlie

I'm gonna have to go with the skeptics and agree. We have a high ratio of incredibly hot girls:ugly girls.

Kevin

I believe that almost all stereotypes have a majority truth to them and I for the two above, I would say yes and yes.

Allison

Not everyone is a hick. Most of my friends were from all over the country, and had come to Mizzou for the J-School. The drunk part I can't dispute.
