Amy

UMKC is located near many interesting social places, such as the Country Club Plaza, Power and Lights District, and Westport. There is a lot of restaurants, cafes, bars, and many other social places to hang out.

Lolita

The best thing about my school, in my opinion, is the diversity. There are a lot of people different races and ethnicities that can be seen on campus. There are also activities and clubs to educate others about different ethnicities. There is no racial tension and the school has a very friendly atomosphere.

Taylor

The best thing about my school is that there is no curfew to come on campus or to enter the residents halls on campus. This is the best thing about this school because other schools tend to lock you out or write one a salutation after a certain time to be in bed, and I feel that we are all adults, who shoud be able to come and go as we please.

Melanie

The best thing about UMKC is the cultural diversity and location. It opens your mind to many different views, cultures, and ethnicities. The location is in the city and is easily accessible to many shops, restaurants, and activites. This provides for an ideal atmosphere.

Brandy

The student community is the best. At the School of Biological Sciences we all stuck together & really helped eachother out. College is so much easier when you have an entire group working together. The advisors were also great. Any questions you had they were there to help. The number one reason I would recommend UMKC is the professors. These are some of the absolute best teachers I have ever experienced. They were always avaliable to help and were great and teaching easy ways to remember challenging topics.

Alex

I think the best thing about our school is its appearance. The campus is beautiful, especially in the spring and fall. The faculty are also great, and most of the professors really care about their students. There is a lot of camraderie here.

Rachel

The best thing about UMKC for me is that it is close to home because I can simply drive home whenever necessary.

Brianna

The best thing about my school is the Conservatory of Music and Dance. The faculty in the Conservatory is outstanding. It is truly a terrific school at which to pursue a musical career whether it be in vocal or instrumental performance, music education, music therapy, or even musical theatre. The Conservatory is like its own smaller school, with a close-knit family and small class sizes to ensure personal attention from the professors.

Haley

The best thing about UMKC is that I go here with my best friend. We have been friends since grade school and it was nice to know at least one person when I started here. The people on campus are not very friendly so having that one person who will always be there for you is comforting. I do not think I could have made it through my freshman year without her.
