What's the most frustrating thing about University of Missouri-Columbia?

Taylor

The most frustrating thing about the University of Missouri has to be how much drinking goes on in the fraternities and how little people seem to care about their bodies when they go out wearing practically nothing to become intoxicated and not remember the night before in the morning.

On campus there isn’t a lot of jobs for non work-study students. My twin and I attend different colleges but had the same financial need. She was granted work-study and I was not. However, I was told that there were lots of jobs left on campus. Yet after attending multiple job fairs, the jobs left on campus were mainly departments looking for upperclassmen. So, my advice to incoming freshman looking for a job, prepare your resume in August and apply as soon as you arrive on campus.

There are times where the campus has become very unsafe especially for females. Since I was a freshmen there have been multiple sexual assualts reports that have occurred on school grounds or very near. I wish that MUPD and the MU Adminstration would take more serious steps into reversing this problem. No student, faculty or staff deserves to feel unsafe at this distinguished institution.

There really is nothing frustrating about Mizzou!! It's a bit pricey, but going to one of the top universities in the state of Missouri, you learn to accept that fact. I love this, but there are a TON of people which makes walking to classes a challenge during those first few weeks of classes. I've learned to create shortcuts, which really makes this less frustrating!

The most frustrating aspect of my school is the fact that there is little clinical exposure when it comes to the pre-health professions. I think that there should be more requirements to graduate one of these programs than the typical prerequisit courses.

Jessica

The most frustrating thing about my school is the cost of tuition.

The University of Missouri systems uses a site called Blackboard. This site can be very convenient at times yet massively irritable at others. Just in the one year of attendance I have acquired, it has cuased me quite a few problems, so be sure to stay on top of your assignments and never wait till last minute if requiring blackboard. This site, however, is constantly undergoing maintenance to better user friendliness so the future still looks bright.

The procedure to petition for Missouri residency and achieve an easier to pay tuition is quite extensive and could be confusing, though it makes sense financially for the school to implement it. It is a bit of a leap of faith to have this thing over your head for the first semester and not know what you're going to have to pay for your education once it ends.

Joan

The traffic and campus police are frustrating.

Luria

The lack of consistent public transportation. If you don't have a car, you're screwed.
