One of the great things about SEMO (and there are a lot) is the classes I have to take. In order to complete any degree, I have to take a wide variety of classes that will help me become more well-rounded as person. Learning a little about a lot, instead of a lot about a little, the first few semesters of college will give me a different perspective as my education and life goes on.
The professors are great; in each class students and professors learn from each other. The staff is very understanding and always willing to talk to you whenever there's a problem.
Do you enjoy the experience at your school?
I really like it here! When I walk around campus, it just feels like what I always imagined college should be: falling autumn leaves and professors and students conversing outside Academic Hall. Campus is beautiful, even though there are a lot of hills. Walking to class alone is a work out, but SEMO has a convenient shuttle system if you don't want to walk all the way across campus.
There are a lot of different residence halls, and they all offer great support systems for everyday life. Each residence hall is a really tight community–I've met some awesome people on my floor alone! We have a really great time together.
Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?
SEMO is one of the best values in Missouri and the states surrounding. The quality of the education and experience is more than worth what it costs to attend. Also, when you consider the massive amount of (often underutilized) student serives, it really is one of the best deals! Also, they have a wonderful library and book rental system.
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
Take a campus visit. Homey Cape Girardeau is described by locals as a big small town. This is a perfect description. I grew up in a small town, then moved to the big city (Saint Louis area), so this town is a perfect mix for me.
Don't be afraid to contact teachers and staff members! They actually ENJOY helping you and making your life a little easier.
Which types of students will excel at your college?
Future educators and people who love people. There are so many different kinds of people here, so many things to do and groups to join. Greek life is active, night life is active...I really love it here.
