About University of Missouri

PROS

  • Mizzou has a wide variety of student services including a Disability Center, International Center, and Veterans Center. Many of these services are the fruit of the university’s commitment to make sure every student goes where they want to go with their career.
  • The University of Missouri offers many extracurricular activities and several entertainment options too.

CONS

  • The average age is really young and there are no spaces made available to mature students.
