“I love Missouri State’s small‑city‑on‑a‑campus feel, how easy it is to get involved in clubs and athletics while still being close to internships and jobs, but from a past‑student view I’ll say the commuter‑heavy days, the sometimes‑slow downtown scene, and the way the big‑university size can feel impersonal in large lecture classes were all more noticeable once I stopped visiting and started living there.”
