Review of Southeast Missouri State University

from Marion, IL

Do you feel you’re learning a lot?

The wide variety of university study categories (generals) really helps expand the knowledge of students. You can discover something you never thought you would be interested in through your general classes. The small class sizes really help each student to receive more attention when needed. All my classes are about the size of my high school classes. All of the professors are willing to help their students during office hours, through e-mail, or even through special meetings. I have learned so much from just one semester.

Do you enjoy the experience at your school?

I love the campus at Southeast. The hills can be a little tough sometimes, but it's absolutely beautiful. I have made some fantastic friends and there's always something to do. We go over to the aquatic center, play frisbee on the marching band field, or just hang out in our rooms. The campus is at a great location too.

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

SEMO has some of the best rates I saw in my college search. There are tons of scholarships offered through the university, and a lot of them are non-competitive (If you qualify for it, you get it as long as you apply in time). There are lots of opportunities to get financial aid if you need it.

Do you have any tips for prospective students?

Come to a Show Me Day or schedule a campus tour. Talk to your admissions councelor frequently and don't be afraid to talk to students to see what they think of the school.

Which types of students will excel at your college?

I think SEMO is great for a wide variety of students. Social students will find lots of groups and there is a lot of Greek life going on. Those focused on academics will find a lot of enjoyment in the classes. Athletic students have a lot of sports and intermurals to choose from. There's truly something for everybody at SEMO.
