    Study hard and don't get distracted by everything there is to do on campus. Mizzou is a lot of fun, buzzing with constant activity between sports, concerts, speakers and other special events but you can't let that get in the way of your academics. Mizzou is an educational facility first and they won't waste time letting you know that. Make sure you find the right group of people to be around who can help you succeed and have fun. Also, as in much of life, listening to those who have experienced it can help a lot so take as much advice from upperclassmen as possible. Finally, and this applies to any school, DON'T OVER WORK YOURSELF. When you're first registering for classes they're going to try and get you to sign up for about 16+ hours, DON'T LET THEM! It's important to remember that as an incoming freshmen you're adjusting to a new lifestyle and a new way of learning so take it easy your first semester. Start with around 12-14 credits (unless you have a scholarship that says otherwise... than do the bare minimum you have to do for them) so you can get settled and comfortable. Then second semester you can start to add more hours. read full review

    If you go to this school, don't walk in and get pulled in by all the frills and thrills that the school offers, stay focused on your work, study, and then, if you have time, work in extra stuff that you can do on times when you have a gap between classes. DON'T FORGET, find scholarships and loans that you can use to pay for tuition and other costs. When looking at loans make sure it can be easily payed off later, you don't want it hanging over your head long after your out of school. Find local jobs that can be easily worked into your school schedule and work for classes. Finally, don't overload yourself with tons of extras and credit hours just because it says in your degree qualifications. But don't let all of this bum you out. Have fun when it's appropriate and find good friends that can help you through school but not act as a distraction/easy-way-out. read full review
