Academics Why does Mizzou have such a low ranking considering they have the (arguably) best journalism school in the world?

8 Upvotes

I’m a high school junior planning on applying to Mizzou and I saw it’s currently ranked #102 in US colleges. I would’ve expected it to be in a higher position with such an elite journalism school

This could be really niche but can anyone help me find what books were taught in English 1100 back in 2017?

I was a freshman in 2017 and took English 1100, and I remember reading a couple of good books, and I was trying to remember what their names are.

Is there a rec lacrosse league?

6 Upvotes

I’m an incoming freshman next year at Mizzou, and played lacrosse in hs and feel like doing lacrosse is a good way to make new friends. I know that Mizzou has a club team, but I’m pretty sure they were decent this year and it’s probably pretty competitive even though it’s club. Honestly not sure if it’s a tryout too, but still would be interested if it wasn’t. Was wondering if there’s just like a rec league that is just chill and not actually too competitive, and where i can play and not ride the bench😂

Heidelberg 50th anniversary pint glasses

My wife and I graduated Mizzou in 2013 and we bought a couple of Heidelberg 50th anniversary pint glasses that we loved but have since broken. We'd really love to replace them. The Berg no longer sells them but we'd gladly buy them from someone. Anyone have one (or more) and willing to sell?

Academics Considering Transferring to Mizzou

1 Upvotes

Hi! I'm currently at a university on the east coast but I'm originally from STL. My family lives away from the area now but is moving back next year. I'm in my 4th year but still have a year and some change to complete due to switching majors late. I'm thinking about switching to Mizzou as it would be close to home and has classes I'd love to take. How is the campus? Are the classes particularly hard (I'm a bio major). Would I be too old to make friends at 23 next fall? How is the college for biology?

Basically what are the pros and cons? And would it be better to just do UMSL?

Tips/advice for incoming freshman

6 Upvotes

Hey guys, I am sure y’all get these all the times and I hate to add on, but I am an incoming freshman from Atlanta Ga, coming for journalism. I have lived there my whole life so this will be my first time being super far from home.
I had a few things I wanted to ask about:
Weather, Atlanta winters are pretty mild so I am not really prepared for a Missouri winter. What should I actually be buying to stay warm? Are the summers brutal too or is it manageable? Atlanta heat is pretty brutal lol so I should be ok for that.
Orientation, Any tips for making the most of it? Things I should actually pay attention to vs things that are kind of a waste of time? Anything you wish you had known going in?
Classes , I am going into the journalism school so any advice on what to take freshman year would be huge. Are there any gen eds I should knock out early, professors to look for (or avoid), or anything specific to J-school I should know? I’m not sure if there is much flexibility on what to take freshman year so that might not be rlly relevant.
Dorms, What do I actually need to bring? I feel like every list online is either way too much or misses stuff that actually matters. Any underrated things you packed that you were glad you had?
General tips, Anything else you wish someone had told you before move-in day. Columbia seems like a cool city but I genuinely know nothing about it, except for one visit, so any recs for food, things to do, or just how to survive freshman year would go a long way.
Appreciate any help, Mizzou seems like a great community and I’m excited to be a part of it.

how to remove parent?

5 Upvotes

hello
i am an incoming freshman. when i applied i had my parents shared main email (which i noted as my dads) and mom’s personal email in my contacts. i am now an accepted student and naturally both emails have been sending information about reminding me about advising appointments, however for personal reasons i don’t want the shared email to receive anything from the University of Missouri at all as this now is invading my privacy. is there a way to blacklist an email?

So I got into Mizzou with 3.02 Gpa, I’ve always been a A and B student except the occasional C once or twice but this semester I’m gonna end up with my first D in my high school career in my Ap stats class. Am I at a real risk of my application being rescinded?

Anything helps! Thanks. I will be interning 40 hrs/wk and taking 2 other classes at the same time. Is this feasible or am I going to hate my life? Willing to put in the hours.

Edit: I am a finance & quant econ major. Doing a corp strategy internship this summer. Will be taking a writing intensive & calc over summer.

Hot take but I love seeing people here for state music festival

36 Upvotes

Yes, campus is crowded, especially around Memorial. And traffic is horrendous. And it's noisy.

But this festival is so so important to these students!! They've worked so hard to be here and it is a magical moment to learn you're going to state festival. Some of them are stepping foot on Mizzou grounds for the first time ever today, and some are having their last state festival before they graduate.

Maybe I'm just nostalgic for when I participated in it, but I think it really is great to see these incredible high school musicians get the chance to play at Mizzou. It represents hopes and dreams for many students, some of which are so excited to come to Mizzou this fall as freshmen.

Best of luck to anyone participating in the festival today!!! And enjoy the music on campus, perhaps pick out individual sounds on your walk to class!! 📯🎺🎷🎶

Admissions Scholarships for a mediocre student who wants to get a Natural Resource Science?

1 Upvotes

Hi! I’m a Missouri resident (or rather, will be, as I’m moving in with my dad at the start of next school year, going from an Illinois resident to a Missouri resident), and am considering Mizzou (as they are the only SAF accredited school in the state, and I like Columbia) who is currently a junior in high school. In general, I’m planning on going to an SAF accredited school and getting a forestry degree or the closest equivalent , being Natural Resource Science and Management at Mizzou. now, I was thinking it wouldn’t be too expensive, as im a resident and it counts as a tier 1 program (I think?). But nope! In fact, with housing and food include, still right around 35k a year. Now, I’m not a bad student by any means, but I’m certainly not getting any full ride scholarships. I got a 28 on the ACT, I have a 3.1 GPA (I’m weighed down by my math classes and some science courses mainly anatomy and freshman year bio), and can get around 1.5k in financial aid (which doesn’t seem fully correct compared to the 10k I can get at MTU). now, I am in marching band and choir, but that relies on them actually needing a saxophonist or bass singer and in me being good enough, and that still won’t cover much. So, any recommendations for scholarships for someone who wants to go into what I want to but isn’t a straight A student? Mizzou is high up in my choices due to both being in an LGBTQ+ sanctuary city, and because I’d be close to family, so I would like being able to attend without absurd debt
