University of Missouri-Columbia Top Questions

Everything is being constantly renovated. Although it is nice that buildings are being updated, it is very frustrating when your favorite dining hall is closed. Although there are other dining halls just as close, I preferred the selection, service, and layout at one dining hall (Rollins) to its neighbors. Unfortunately, it is closed until the fall.

The most frustrating thing is the rainy, cold weather in the winter.

The most frustrating thing about the University of Missouri is that if you live in on-campus housing, you have to have a meal plan. As a sophomore living on-campus, I am at the point where the dining halls are no longer the only place I eat, especially since microwaveable foods are available at all grocery stores for relatively low costs. Meal plans are expensive, and if I don't use them every week, then I am wasting a lot of money.

The most frustrating thing about Mizzou is the campus being so huge! Although walking everywhere is a great workout, making it to class on time every once in a while would be nice.

Some of the books you need for classes can't be found anywhere else, especially after entering upper level.

I would have to say the most frustrating thing about my school would be not always knowing what part of the material to study for an exam. In high school most teachers will spell out to students what will be on the upcoming test. For the most part this is not the case at the University of Missouri- Columbia. It is very frustrating to get to an exam, and open your test only to realize you have spent the last few days emphasizing your studies in something you didn't need to.

MU does not give a great deal of financial aid. If you get an ACT score of 27 you get the same amount of financial aid as someone who gets a 33 on the ACT. There are a few diversity/multi-cultural scholarships. Tuition and room and board are slightly higher than other colleges and universities in Missouri, and with this lack of financial assistance, the cost for schooling can increase significantly.

I am most frustrated with the lack of financial aid.
