Don't bother with this place however if you're not in a specialized school like engineering.  The liberal arts here are a joke, I mean they are anyway but especially here.  You won't learn a thing and I promise you will not be challenged here at all.  Look at your classmates and you will see why.

From what I've heard, also stay away from the law school.  It is considered quite low-end and you won't be able to get a job as a lawyer with a degree from here.

This school is extremely diverse and has been taken over by the affirmative action black agenda.  It is easier to come out as gay than it is to come out conservative here.  One of the few non-engineering classes I took here showed me how much viewpoints that aren't extreme left are NOT accepted here.  Plus, this school has pretty much turned me into a racist.  I was fine with everyone before I came here, and after dealing with tons of incredibly stupid and well downright hateful people and their agenda, I've become less accepting.  There is also a huge radical muslim presence here.  There are also a ton of Indians and Chinese and they are extremely friendly, actually most of the muslims here are too.  However it is mildly annoying when you're in the computer labs and there are 60+ Indians crowding a lab meant for 15 babbling at 100 mph in 20 different languages when you're just trying to get some work done in peace and quiet.

There aren't very many greek people here, but they are just as mean and snooty as anywhere else.  I laugh at them when they act like that, and tell them to go to a real college.  I've also met some really nice greek people too, however.

There is basically no social life here.  Overall people are friendly, but they have their own lives to live separate from college.  Many are working full time jobs with wife and kids.  They mostly commute from Lee's Summit and Blue Springs, with a few from Johnson County on the KS side (UMKC tuition for KS side suburbs is in-state plus a fee).
