Southeast Missouri State University

Go elsewhere. this place is a sad excuse of a school. terrible staff. terrible DPS. expensive.

The cost of tuition is cheap, but the price you pay is having bad professors. Don't get me wrong, there are some very good professors as well, but most of them are lazy, don't care about you, and appear to have forgotten most of what they are supposed to be teaching you.

Get jumped regularly. This school is right on the border to Illinois and is not very safe, those blue light boxes make it a little better, but do not entirely ensure your safety when you're being chased. Many kidnapping attempts throughout my entire four years that I hear about regularly from female students.

The food at SEMO has been steadily declining in quality. Quite literally inedible at some locations and only getting more expensive and worse.

Had a horrible time here and ultimately ended up transferring. too many majors are available , and the important ones end up getting their funding cut. If you're coming from a big city don't go here, very boring on the weekends unless you're going to a party or a bar. Small town vibes and mindset. Very nice teachers who are easy to talk to though!

This place is so cliquey, it feels like I spent an extra 3 years in high school. If you didn’t plan to transfer here with friends, you might as well not even try socializing. Bar scene is mid, classes border on being a waste of time, and the job market is so unforgiving you may not get a chance to work. Ultimately, cost is the only positive.

SEMO always preaches how it's a "student-oriented campus" and the "student needs always come first," but why does it consistently make decisions that negatively affect students? Why does it hide the budget when students ask to see it? SEMO is cutting opportunities for students to have the "will to do," and it is so sad to see.
