University of Missouri-Kansas City Top Questions

Make sure you keep applying for scholarships even though you have a lot on your plate, don’t stop!

The worst thing about my school would be the compensation or in better words the greed for finances. This is a really good school but I feel like it is a financially greedy school that does not compromise with the student. I feel as if as much as the school gets from all different sorts of avenues it should not be so determined to squeeze every dollar out of their student in any way possible.

It is a commuter campus so it is difficult to build relationships with students when most leave directly after their classes end.

The administration! Truly every thing else is great. But the administration is subpar. I had a terrible run in with the financial aid office. I had a simple question and it took months for them to answer it. They did not answer any emails, I only got through on one phone call (where they told me to send an email about it), and I finally had to physically go into the office. They tried to make me fill out a request form that would be "processed" later and I demanded to talk to someone. Finally got my answer!

The Psychology department doestnt have a centra building just for psych. We always have to be scattered all over campus.

Close to home (for me), and lack of school spirit makes sporting events not as exciting.

The campus is small and many of the students here are commuters. This means that the campus life here really is not a big deal. This is a turn off for a lot of students. The campus is pretty and nice, its just that most students commute to school.

The students' studios are not very good. And the parking fee is a little bit high for one semester.

Choosing to attend the University of Missouri-Kansas City was one of the best decisions I have ever made. It has everything I was looking for in a school?an amazing music therapy program, faculty and staff who legitimately care about their students, a beautiful campus in the middle of a city buzzing with life, and the opportunity to grow as a musician and an individual. The only negative aspect of UMKC is that it is ten hours away from my home in Ohio. While it is difficult to be away from my family, I don?t regret my choice.
