The amount paid in tuition does not equal the quality of education that is received. MSSU is barely a step above a community college. Most of the students are commuter, non-traditional (meaning over the age of 24), which makes for a very non-college environment. Professors are always making comments and arrangements for student parents, because nearly half of the class has children. If you want a full college experience, go somewhere else.

ADMINISTRATION-STUDENT COMMUNICATION IS TERRIBLE. There are no paper bills sent to home addresses and students will be dropped from classes without any prior notice. I was dropped from spring classes because I hadn't paid a $47 charge that was applied two days before all payments were due. Also, I can go weeks without getting any college related emails in my school inbox.

I feel that an MSSC graduate earns their diploma, but I went to learn, not get a free pass.

Maybe it is my age and the fact I would talk to a fence post, but I find the students and instructors interesting approachable and pleasant. I have always prefered Joplin over Springfield. Joplin is smaller and friendlier and offers many of the same amenities as Sringfield.

Just as importantly, the experiences I had during my years there created friendships and memories that I will take with me the rest of my life and helped create the person I am today. I did take advantage of living on campus and getting involved. When I was at Southern, I was a ZTA and loved being part of the Greek system. Those bonds are ones that will be forever. I hope those of you who are there now will get involved and keep it alive. If I did it all over, I would have stayed on campus all 4 years. I wouldn't have had to work as much, and the on campus "family" is a great support.

The Universtiy throws lots of money into its impressive international programs, but those programs benefit an extremely small percentage of the student body.

There is no social/campus life or school spirit to speak of. Greek societies and social organizations are largely ignored by the students and the adminstration barely acknowledges their existence. A vast majority of students are commuters who live in the surrounding communities. None of them stay on campus after they finish their classes and the administration doesn't give them any reason too.

The education you get at Southern isn't so bad. It gets complained about because most people complain about everything at Southern. Love it or hate it at MSSU you get a decent education for a cheap price. Thu, 29 Jun 2006 01:46:04 GMT http://www.studentsreview.com/MO/MSSC_comments.html
