So this question is probably one that pops up when you see how much tuition is at Mizzou. Aside from awesome professors, the knowledge you recieve, and the beautiful campus that you call home for 4+ years, there are some pretty great things at Mizzou included in your tuition here.
First of all, my favorite of all of these great services is the Student Recreation Complex, affectionatly known as "The Rec." Our rec center is really one of the best in the nation. We have TONS of equipment that is free to use so long as you have a valid student ID. Click here to go to The Rec's website and see some awesome photos and get information on what is offered there. For a discounted price, there is also a spa that does manicures, massages, etc and several classes like yoga and zumba that you can participate in.
The Student Success Center is also a great service to students. Their website will tell you about all of the services they give to students. There are study sessions, tutoring sessions, and even a writing center that will help edit your reports for classes. This center is vital in helping students of all grade levels have a successful academic career at Mizzou.
Ellis library is not only a traditonal library where you can check out books that interest you, it also has several databases that are available online through their website to MU students. Some of the services offered at Ellis are reserving rooms for group projects, checking out overhead projectors, scanning systems and color printers. While I'm on the subject of these things, first of all - they're all technically free. There is a $35.00 printing quota available for MU students at the beginning of each year already paid for in your tuition. Black and white printouts will deduct 0.05 and color will deduct 0.15 from that quota. I haven't gone over mine, but in the case that you do, all excess pages will be student charged to your account to be paid at the time of recieving a bill
STRIPES is an awesome service for MU students that is utilized probably the most on campus. This is an awesome group of volunteers of drivers that pick up students on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday nights to give them a safe ride home. All cars have one male and one female volunteer in them to make the student being picked up feel as comfortable as possible and it's a confidential service. Although many students use this service to get a ride home after going to a party or the bars downtown, it is not a requirement to be drinking that night. Several people use this service that rode a bus to campus and stayed until later in the evening that just need a ride back to their off-campus apartment. They're always looking for volunteers so it's also a great way to get involved at Mizzou!
Some other recources that you may find helpful during your stay at Mizzou:
MU Women's Center - basement of the student center with activities and comfy chairs..you don't have to be a woman to hang out here!
MU LGBTQ - Another Safe Space to hang out without judgment. LGBTQ students and "allies" hang out here to meet new people and feel comfortable at Mizzou.
Student Unions - student center with many student offices, rentable study rooms, food court, bookstore, and comfy chairs to hang out in!
RSVP Center - Relationship & Sexual Violence Prevention Center
Asian Affairs Center - awesome resource for students coming from countries in Asia to meet people who are in the same situation
Craft Studio & Art Gallery - students can purchase a membership here to suit their crafting needs or simply join in on one of the many free "crafternoons" they put on throughout the year!
I hope that knowing about some of these services will be helpful to you in your future endeavors at Mizzou. Feel free to check out any of those links and explore the websites a little more!
