Review of Northwest Missouri State University

from Maryville, MO

Do you feel you’re learning a lot?

I have learned so much during my freshman year here at Northwest Missouri State University. Not only are my professors great at what they do, but they do a great job of making themselves available to help you as much as they can. There are always tutors available as well, so if you are falling behind in anything, there is always someone available to help. College has been a great time for me to learn how to manage study time and social time together.

Do you enjoy the experience at your school?

I have met so many people here at NWMSU. Most of my closest friends I have met live on my floor. There are many opportunities to get involved on campus and meet others as well, including Greek life, intramural sports, religious groups, clubs, and many other groups.

Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?

Being an out of state student, my tuition was a little high, however, there are lots of opprotunites to lower your tuition. For example if you keep a 3.0 GPA for your first 24 credit hours, your tuition is reduced to in-state. There are many other opportunities to lower tuition costs such as becoming a Residential Assistant, which gives you free room and board, and also a free meal plan, adding up to nearly 3,000!

Do you have any tips for prospective students?

Come visit! As soon as I did, I knew I'd fit in. Also, don't go home a lot until you have a good friend base. You meet so many people on the weekends! Also, although they are not as nice, the high rise dorms allow you to meet so many people, especially when you leave your door open!

Which types of students will excel at your college?

Great for business students and education students!
