Pluses; 1) Solid safety school 2) Great residency program 3) Beautiful campus 4) Variety of majors 5) Very traditional school and great history (until recently) Negatives: 1) Recent protests – having to take sensitivity class because of need for safe zones. I live over 1,700 miles away and Mizzou gets laughed at when I mention it as an option. Solely for this reason. This stigma will last a while I guess. 2) Average academic programs. Don’t care about Journalism so that’s not an influence. 3) Colder than what I am use to but I can wear a jacket more often. I am looking to go out of state for student body diversity a geographic change. I will be applying in the Fall and Mizzou is still on my list. After my visit last Summer, it was top 1-3 depending on my test schools and final grades of Junior year. However now I would say it is more in the range of number 3-5 since that mess. Student population decline is an issue in the Midwest and yet I read applications were up at Missouri State even with protests on their campus. So there is something to the way Mizzou handled their situation and the hypocrisy of a militant group lead by a rich kid. But the people I met on campus and in town were great and what happened a couple months later still shocks me. I will wait to see how this year transpires for Mizzou.
