Big School
Yes the school is very large (28,000 students from every state and 100 countries), but still Mizzou is very manageable It is easier to make a big school smaller but it is impossible to make a small school bigger. One way that the school is made smaller is to participate and to get involved. There are TONS of opportunities to get involved.
One way students get involved is participating in clubs. The Missouri Students Association (MSA) is the student governing board of the University. Meetings are held at least once a week. MSA decides upon common ordinances as well as fun things for students to do.
Almost every Friday night from 8-12, MSA hosts all night events. Events include craft night, spa night, and room decorating night. I have been to several of these, but they have been somewhat disappointing with lots of lines and sparse materials. They do include free pizza from Shakespeare’s. This is definitely a highlight of these Events.
