University of Missouri-Columbia Top Questions

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

Mykel

The most frustrating thing is about my school is it's size. I come from a small town and small high school. I am not used to seeing a lot of people daily. Even though this is very frustrating, I also find that this is very beneficial. I get to meet new people and network with people from all over the country and even the world.

The most frustrating thing about Mizzou in my opinion is the IT department. While they do have a very large job to do, they are constistantly screwing up the technology here. The internet goes out more than several times a semester in different buildings, or they perform updates over the summer to systems which ends in the campus having little to no internet (or Blackboard too) for several days. There is only a wired connection in dorm rooms as well, so students have to buy routers for wireless if they want it or go to common areas for access.

The most frusterating thing about my school is that it is very difficult to speak with professors because they are extremely busy and overbooked. The teacher's assistance do a wonderful job, but at times it is difficult to communicate or get help because they are not as competant as the professors.

Emily

The most frustrating thing about my school is that many of the professors have jobs other than teaching, such as researching, so they are often busy. It can make the class seem disorganized and the students feel that they are paying for nothing. I have had classes like this and I ended up feeling like I didn't learn anything.

Shelby

I do think the education provided is just satisfactory. It could be a bit more challenging. But the teachers are always available to you and it is easy to pass classes if you stay on you school work.

Emily

The most frustrating thing about Mizzou is that it is really hard to find certain extracurricular groups. We have a surplus of them but there isn't any place where they are listed comprehensively so it makes it difficult to find the ones I want to join.

Lisa

The parking situation is expensive and bad, but this seems to be the case at a lot of colleges.

Chelsea

The most frustrating thing for me would be people who are here and don't care about their education or anyone else's so they cause a lot of distrubances in the evenings in the dorms when people are trying to study.

Kaitlin

It is pretty large, so walks across campus between classes in the winter can be rough.

Morgan

Sometimes it feels overwhelmingly big and you feel like you will get lost in a crowd. The parking is also very limited and that makes it frustrating as well.
