How do i sign up for access to the Rec for the summer? looked at the website didnt find anything

Hi,

I am an upcoming transfer student at Mizzou from a Missouri community college who spent some time away from college to join a program out of state. Because of that, coordinating housing has been difficult timing wise due to the fact I’ll be in this program till early June and have been pretty busy with it.

As a transfer student I understand I will have to find off campus housing and have done lots of research trying to figure out my best option. I thought I might as well try to find somewhere that could give me advice from those more familiar with housing.

I am trying to find a place that is walkable to campus and furnished. I also wanted something that was somewhat social and friendly because I’d like to make friends. But I’m not really interested in partying or those kinds of environments.

I emailed Univeristy Place apartments and they said they were filling up fast and expect to be fully filled by June. I’m not sure if that’s a good choice or not considering how late I’d be in that cycle. I’m also not sure how much control I’d have over their roommate matching at this point either.

Speaking of which I’ve also been trying to look for a roommate. I’ve looked for housing and roommates via all sorts of sources online. I’ve thought about sublets but a lot of them are only for the summer and I’m not really sure if that’s what I want anyway.

More than anything I’m just looking for advice on what I should do in this situation and what would be my best options to move forward.

Thanks!

I’m a high school junior planning on applying to Mizzou and I saw it’s currently ranked #102 in US colleges. I would’ve expected it to be in a higher position with such an elite journalism school

I am looking for apartments in the next coming years. I really like the on campus ones Todd and u Center, and Brookside slightly off campus. Are there any noteworthy cons or issues with these places? Not worried about price

My sister is graduating from high school soon, and she received great offers at the University of Missouri and the University of Pittsburgh at Greensburg. She wants to study biology in undergrad with the ultimate goal of becoming a doctor, but she is also interested in exploring nursing. Which school would be best for her?

Edit: Both are offering her the same amount of financial aid

I've received the Academic Enrichment Award for $6,000 before I submitted my ACT scores. My most recent ACT score is a 26 and I decided to send it to Mizzou. I technically qualify for the Curators Scholars Scholarship for $5,000 but I don't know if they'll give me that because the Academic Enrichment Award is only for those test-optional and requires holistic review. Do I get both of those scholarships or is it just one or the other?

I am starting my senior year of high school. I just finished taking 5 college classes theough dual enrollment at my local university and will continue taking dual enrollment classes there until I graduate high school next spring. I have already been taking ag classes and know I want to major in Agribusiness and possibly have an emphasis in ag communications. I also want to minor in Spanish. My goal is to use my degree to eventually get a job as an ag sales representative. I do want to study abroad either for a semester or a year in a spanish speaking country and hopefully, learn more about ag in that country. So I basically will have 2 years of college spent at another university. I need ideas! I am from the southern part of Missouri. I would preferably like to be within 3-4 hours of SE Missouri. However, I am not against moving far away either... I am also considering studying small ruminants. Any advice about college choices, degree choices, studying ag abroad, ect. Would be appreciated 😁

For all of you that were accepted to Mizzou but had a lower GPA or ACT, what were your scores/grades?

Tobymac, third day, and Chris Tomlin? A quick google shows me that they’re all Christian artists who make it about their religion. Torn between hoping the University doesn’t get sued for promoting religion, and kind of hoping they do because it looks like that’s what’s happening.

Hello! i just want to ask what the chances are that someone with a lower side of the gpa trend would get accepted to Mizzou? what should i focus on heavily to kind of leverage other aspects of the application? Any tips are deeply appreciated!

I was a freshman in 2017 and took English 1100, and I remember reading a couple of good books, and I was trying to remember what their names are.

Hi! I'm currently at a university on the east coast but I'm originally from STL. My family lives away from the area now but is moving back next year. I'm in my 4th year but still have a year and some change to complete due to switching majors late. I'm thinking about switching to Mizzou as it would be close to home and has classes I'd love to take. How is the campus? Are the classes particularly hard (I'm a bio major). Would I be too old to make friends at 23 next fall? How is the college for biology?

Basically what are the pros and cons? And would it be better to just do UMSL?

I’m an incoming freshman next year at Mizzou, and played lacrosse in hs and feel like doing lacrosse is a good way to make new friends. I know that Mizzou has a club team, but I’m pretty sure they were decent this year and it’s probably pretty competitive even though it’s club. Honestly not sure if it’s a tryout too, but still would be interested if it wasn’t. Was wondering if there’s just like a rec league that is just chill and not actually too competitive, and where i can play and not ride the bench😂

title says it all

As a freshman, how bad should I expect the police presence to be tomorrow? this is so stupid ....

Hey guys, I am sure y’all get these all the times and I hate to add on, but I am an incoming freshman from Atlanta Ga, coming for journalism. I have lived there my whole life so this will be my first time being super far from home.
I had a few things I wanted to ask about:
Weather, Atlanta winters are pretty mild so I am not really prepared for a Missouri winter. What should I actually be buying to stay warm? Are the summers brutal too or is it manageable? Atlanta heat is pretty brutal lol so I should be ok for that.
Orientation, Any tips for making the most of it? Things I should actually pay attention to vs things that are kind of a waste of time? Anything you wish you had known going in?
Classes , I am going into the journalism school so any advice on what to take freshman year would be huge. Are there any gen eds I should knock out early, professors to look for (or avoid), or anything specific to J-school I should know? I’m not sure if there is much flexibility on what to take freshman year so that might not be rlly relevant.
Dorms, What do I actually need to bring? I feel like every list online is either way too much or misses stuff that actually matters. Any underrated things you packed that you were glad you had?
General tips, Anything else you wish someone had told you before move-in day. Columbia seems like a cool city but I genuinely know nothing about it, except for one visit, so any recs for food, things to do, or just how to survive freshman year would go a long way.
Appreciate any help, Mizzou seems like a great community and I’m excited to be a part of it.
