Come to UCM! I'm an education major and professors are amazing. They truly care about you and your success. Warrensburg is a great little community. I've met lifelong friends and the love of my life here. I'm from about 3 hours away and couldn't love this distance from home or school more. There are so many great programs to choose from as well.

Overall, a great school. The president of the university knows a lot of students' names and frequently interacts with them. I never met a professor who I didn't like, and they were always accommodating.

AMAZING study abroad opportunities
Overall 4.5
A small campus, meaning you don't have to walk a lot between classes. Very nice library and Recreation Center. Class sizes are usually small meaning you can receive good personal feedback frequently from your professors. Plenty of activities and clubs available for you to join and keep you busy also.

Beautiful campus and everything is so close. Can never run late for class!
Overall 4.3
UCM has a Party School reputation, but that's not the best part of UCM. I have met some of the best people I will ever meet and the faculty are so passionate about what they teach that it's easy to learn about whatever. I love the size of the campus because it's small enough that you'll see someone you know everywhere, but big enough to avoid ppl.

Don't come to this school, This place is just full of dead people walking. Hicks, college partiers that all they want to do is party all the time. No opportunities down here, just a bunch of mad people cause this place sucks.
Overall 1.3
The actuarial science program is the worst, AVOID if it if you want to become an actuary one day, the program is not exam oriented and you learn nothing from its terrible faculty.
Overall 1.3
The absolute worst university in the state. The only regret I have is not attending somewhere else.
Overall 1.6
I cannot even find a toilet during busy hours since there is only one toilet on each floor! The cafeteria is terrible, and the vendor is always dysfunctional! The swimming pool is reconstructed into a wrestling arena for non-sense. The faculty doesn't care about how much workload you already have! Nowhere to go during free time!

I came to this university as a transfer student from Mizzou. This is the perfect environment to get down to business and study since there's not much to do here. The University has a horrible Computer Science department and needs serious help! I will finally graduate in 2017, but will leave unsatisfied. Look around elsewhere if you're a CS major!
Overall 1.8
The education department has serious issues including a terrible culture problem. I would avoid the school at all costs; there are much better schools nearby.
Overall 1.9
Go to this school if you want bad facilities, bad food, bad professors, bad administration, and a bad experience.
Overall 1.9
This University has destroyed my excitement for knowledge. I enrolled here hoping for big change to happen in my life. I will be graduating completely disappointed. I have spent the last 3 years of my life in class and in the library. I have basically taught myself everything. I hate that I had to pay this University for a degree. That's all I did.

At least you can drive an hour and be in a more rewarding city. The colleges near my home state are 2-5 hours away from civilization. The most fun thing to do is go to Walmart. The partying/drinking day(Thursday) is odd. The food is awful

UCM is the grossest school there is, that's why it's called The Dirty Burg. I hate it here but I guess you get what you pay for. Dirt cheap for dirt quality education
