Review of University of Missouri-Kansas City

from Parkville, MO

Describe your college in three sentences.

I absolutely love the campus and the professors. The class sizes are nice for both lectures and discussion sessions. It is big without making you feel like you aren't important.

Do you have any tips for prospective students?

It is pricey, but well worth it. The dorms are bigger than most so keep that in consideration. The majors and programs here allow for several areas of emphasis. Don't be afraid to be very specific on what you want to do.

Do you find there’s enough academic rigor at your school?

The classes can be difficult and I have a decent amount of homework. This is definitely a school for very determined and devoted students.

Describe the dorm life at your college.

Many fun activities to go to if you can find time.

Describe the food and dining at your college.

I love the food and the dining hall staff is very friendly. We have a wide variety of options including vegan and gluten-free options.

What’s there to do for fun at your college?

The plaza, which is a shopping district in downtown Kansas City, is about a 5-10 minute walk. There are also all sorts of museums and theatres for concerts close by. As far as on campus, the student union and the conservatory always have fun events going on every week.

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

It is expensive, but you get what you pay for as far as dorm living, food, and academics. Parking is a little outrageous.

Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus

Not that I know of, but I am only a freshman.

Which types of students will excel at your college?

This school is great for students who are devoted to their studies but still want a social life. It has a good balance of work and fun.

Are you involved in any clubs or activities?

We have all sorts of organizations for just about any type of activity you can think of. We also have intramural sports which are a lot of fun.

Are you involved in any clubs or activities?

I am not currently involved in Greek Life, but I have heard amazing things about all of our sororities and fraternities.

How would you describe campus safety? Do you feel safe on campus?

I always feel very safe. There is a police station a block away and there are officers usually present to patrol. We also have emergency poles where you can make a call to the police by pressing a button if you feel unsafe or want someone to come escort you back to the dorms.
