What do you know about the Univeristy of Missouri at Kansas City?

Apr 24, 2007 by July | Posted in Higher Education (University +)

What is the neighborhood like? Cost of living in the region? Cool Places to hang out? The atmosphere of the school itself?

UMKC is down right next to the Country Club Plaza, which houses many shops, restaurants, etc. It's about 10 minutes south of downtown Kansas City, MO. UMKC has one of the best music conservatories in the region, and is known for it. The theater program is pretty good too, with many students who act with the KC Repertory Theater. I'm pretty sure UMKC is also built new dormitories for students, they have shaved a couple of buildings, and I think the new dorms are scheduled to be opened, or fall 07 or Fall 08.

Kansas City is a fairly reasonable place to live, office wise, but you can find places ultra expensive and very cheap a few blocks of one another. Cool places on the campus would hang the Plaza or Westport.

As regards the atmosphere of the school itself, you would probably need to go just on campus. I have been on campus many times, my daughter was even more - she is a junior high school. It's a pretty campus in a part of the city enough. I know several people who attend there, and like him. Most students live in the metro Kansas City, but not all.

Hope this helps you out.

What kind of things do I need to get into the Univeristy of Missouri-St. Louis?

What kind of grades and extracurricular do I need for this school spefically for this school?

There is a list of their admission requirements on their website: http://www.umsl.edu/admission/freshmen/i ndex.html

According to U.S. News, their acceptance rate is about 60%. Therefore, most likely you will get in. If you do not you can transfer directly after taking a year of courses at another university. Transfer should be relatively easy. I guess you would automatically be accepted with a B average (2.7).

Good luck in college is a great experience!
