The school is very diverse so you get to meet everyone from the around the US as well as other countries. There are a lot of resources that help you succeed in class. The campus might seem big but once you are there it actually feels like a small campus.

The campus is very diverse and the proffesors help you with whatever it is you need.

Not only do you get a great educational experience, but UMKC is a lot more affordable than many other schools. It is also very diverse! There are students from a huge range of backgrounds. It is really awesome to be surrounded by such a diverse student body.

What is unique about my school in the six year Medical Program offered to students who want to become a doctor at a faster pace, many students come from all over the world to get into this program, which is very competitive. However, for those who want to become a doctor at the normal pace of eight years, such as myself, that is also an option.

What is unique about this school is we have an awesome library with a robotic arm. You type in what book you want and the arm gets it for you. The gym facility is very neat. We have a retractable roof on the pool for sunny days. And lastly what is neat about UMKC is it uses the old Mansions from the early 1900s to late 1800s as class rooms instead of wasting money on building new buildings.

The small, but big environment, and the friendly people. The staff is great. Every single beiing on this campus is wonderful. Everyone wants to see not only themselves succeed but everyone else as well. The small environment helps everyone know who everyone is on campus, to better networking skills, and to build relationship with people who may help you to your success.

Our nursing program is a 3:1 program. We spend 1 year on general education classes and if you are accepted into the nursing program you then have 3 years of clinicals unlike the normal programs that spend 2 years in gen. ed. classes and 2 years of clinicals. Employers like to see that extra year of hands on experience. We, the students, like it too. It really adds to the learning process.

UMKC offers a six year medical program and I was accepted in the program. The program is very intense, but suits me and I like the challenge.

I feel like my school promotes diversity more than other schools. For example, there is always an opportunity to go to social events that include educating other students about a particular race or religion. Also, there is a Women's Center and a "Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgendered" group that people can be a part of. There is plenty of clubs to join or social events ot attend to learn more about others.
