The professors really care about each individual student and his or her learning process. All of my professors thus far have taken a personal interest in my life in and outside the class room. Professors are able to take time to help every student because of the small class sizes and they treat the student as equals. I find that it is easier to learn in an environment where the teacher is honest and open with the students. Small class sizes and mutual respect between teacher and student are vital criteria for a positive learning community.
Southeast also offers a variety of classes on a wide range of subjects. Every student is not only welcome but encouraged to try new educational experience. I had never taken a ballet class before coming to SEMO but it has always something that I wanted to try. The class that I took down here was a great experience. I learned a lot about ballet and gained confidence in my performance skills.
Do you enjoy the experience at your school?
I really enjoy the atmosphere of SEMO. The college is located in the small town of Cape Girardeau. The school and the surrounding community have a lot to offer any prospective student. There are at several student organizations on campus and hundreds of ways for student to get involved. I never find myself bored because there is so much to do on campus and in the surrounding town. The Theater and Dance department performs several shows a semester. The historical river front of Cape Girardeau is a kitschy mix of old and new. There are several antique stores and mom and pop shops that surround the college. The people of both the town and the college are friendly and welcoming.
Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?
SEMO is big college experience for a small college price. SEMO is one of the best deals in the state. Though the tuition is relatively low the educational experience is priceless.
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
Prospective students should check the Southeast portal email daily. Not only do the professors use this for communication but SEMO will send stuff about billing and other important school information. Check Email before you arrive on campus as well because your roommate might try to contact you via the portal.
Make sure to apply for scholarships Southeast offers several scholarships for students of all majors. Make sure during the application process you click on the apply for endowed scholarship button.
Sign up for a learning community if you can. It is a great way to get to know other students in your major before classes actually start. Being in a community will give you a network of friends. Floor wide study parties before finals are remarkably helpful especially in the learning communities where the whole floor has similar classes.
Learn the hours of the meal plan otherwise you will run out of Flex dollars fast. You need flex for pretty much every meal so don’t use it all the first few weeks
