"The University of Missouri is an overall good school to obtain an education. However, the Food Science program is limited to meat, dairy and wine...which is a very limited area of food science. I felt unprepared when entering the workforce after college, even with my stellar GPA."

"Mizzou is diverse with hundreds of organizations to get involved in. I don't recommend getting plugged into many organizations yet, to maximize your time into one or two and invite friends and strangers apart of the community that you are passionate about. Take initiative there and you will be fine. Best Journalism school, solid Education and Nursing programs. We have a great Med school also. Diversity in many areas, and the University is striving to make everyone accepted and welcome continually."

"College is an unfortunate stepping stone for a corporate company or licensed job title. The truth is that I believe college has extended its learning experience far from what an actual degree requires. If you want a job in the arts. Just do what you love and start immediately. In the Internet age, you can be a writer or a comity graphed and you don't need four years of an education. Take some basic classes to understand business law, taxes and simple accounting. If you have a passion for the big degrees then you need to jump though the hoop of a 4 year minimum degree."

"College was challenging in school, which really increased my organizational skills and discipline when it came to studying. It was really more of a social time, though. I met most of my now close friends and really grew as a person because I was immersed into so many different cultures."

"I was concerned about going to such a large school but I ended up appreciating all the choices thy come from having a large school (with a large budget). I was able to make it feel "smaller" or more homey by getting to know other students in my major and joining student groups."

"I loved my college experience. Mizzou has a nice mix of academics, sports and social activities. It's also in a good location geographically because it's close to Chicago, St. Louis and Kansas City."

"While it's a big school, many of the departments are smaller, so you still get the feel of a small school. A lot of facilities have been recently updated, and the new dorms are very nice."

"MU was a good college. I enjoyed my time there, and enjoyed the diversity of the people, beliefs, and activities offered, but it's also easy to get lost in the crowd. If I went back and did it all again, I think I would at least consider a smaller school with more reasonable tuition."

"PROS -Financial aid is provided to a degree. -Career services is highly active and involved each semester not only to hone interviewing skills and resumes but also to network with alumni. -Ethnic and gender diversity is prevalent within a mix of domestic and international students. -Through the new cohort system, the program has increased the amount of collaboration among students which can be critical when working on projects. -Seminars are provided to connect students with current leaders in business and government. -Faculty are highly supportive and available to students throughout the semester. -The program's policy to avoid classes on Friday is a valuable bonus. -Overall this program provides great exposure to relevant topics in business, encourages collaboration among students and faculty, connects students with its outward network, and is an excellent value! CONS -The program could be more selective about the students accepted. Some students in the program appear to be somewhat inexperienced and lacking in leadership. -Interaction and presentations with international students can be challenging due to language and cultural differences. -The cohort system does remove some flexibility in choosing a personalized MBA curriculum in the first year of the program. -The weekly workload is fairly intense, although manageable, but the exams are relatively straightforward and could be more challenging. -Jobs in the school's vicinity in columbia, MO are sparse and therefore graduates need to be prepared to relocate to a nearby metropolis (St. Louis and Kansas City)"

"Pros: Loved that my program was a small, tight-knit group of graduate students. Faculty and Staff were always available and made your well being, academically and financially, their top priority. Cons: Unfortunately there was not much in the way of career planning or advising. This is something the program really should consider adding, especially for their graduate students."

"I find that the program is individual based. I am not just a number. I have a program built around my future career as a scientist. The faculty genuinely care and work hard to help me succeed. I wish there was more of an outline coming into the program so I didn't feel so lost the first few months but as I have progressed, I feel more comfortable with the graduate program."
