University of Missouri-Kansas City Top Questions

The worst thing about my school is being away from home and the limited number of students that live on campus. I chose my school at the last minute for its proximity to my hometown. It is a mere three hour drive from my house, but I still have a hard time being away from home. The campus is located in a wonderful city, with countless opportunities to experience; however, it is hard to appreciate unless you are old enough. Also, of the 15,000 students, just over 1000 live on campus so it is hard to stay involved.

The worst thing I feel was out everyone is in their own social clique. I transfered here and was soo miserably lonely, the first few weeks I did not know what to do with myself.

The commuter school vibe.

I think that the school needs to challenge students more to think outside the textbook.

They didn't have my major I switched to, so I had to transfer schools

The food sucks most of the time, so living off campus is very nice.

The worst thing about my school would have to be the parking situation. There are so many places you can't park other than the garages. But if you have a parking pass, there is an okay amount of space, but for those who can't afford a parking pass, it is really hard to find a place even close to campus to park for free.

The worst thing about my school is probably that the classes can be too small and that sometimes the smaller classes are harder to get into, verses the larger classes, but that is not unique to UMKC. The other major critique would be reservations of class rooms is complicated at the beginning of every semester. Sometimes it is difficult to find adequate class room size for the amount of people enrolled in the class.

The worst thing is the condition of the finacial aid department and the price of on campus housing.
