The classes are a bit difficult, but overall, I love it here. The professors are always willing to help you if you need it, and the students are always forming study groups if you'd like to learn with friends.

Eboni from Florissant, MO
this university is a great place to get an education. i have not found a bad thing about this university. a big plus is that they teach you time management.
Chelsea from Hazelwood, MO
Nursing school is great. For a state school there is a lot of stuff that could be much better! Cashiers office messed up my bill for the semester and thought it was acceptable to charge me over $800 a month into the semester!
UMSL is a very positive environment with very helpful and friendly people. UMSL's science research facilities are one of the top ten in the country. UMSL has ratios of teachers to students at a 1 to 23, in other words, the average class is 23 students.
Savanah from St. Louis, MO
Teachers with real world experience. Access to a variety of tutors. The campus is easy to navigate.
Marvin from St. Louis, MO
The University of Missouri-St. Louis is a wonderful campus where there's lots of diversity. There is a lot of opportunity on campus that is being made on campus for the betterment of the students. The teachers are really helpful and available for the students. The environment on campus is pretty friendly and I think It's a great school for someone looking for something close to home but not at home.
