I'm at Truman State University in Kirksville, Mo. Personally, I love it and do a lot of my friends but like any college, many get here and aren't happy. A lot of this has to do with the size of the town, 16,000. There isn't much to do and the closest large city is St. Louis at 3 1/2 hours away. This bothers some people, not me.
The campus itself is beautiful and rather spread out although a bit small since this is a medium sized college (6,000 students).
The college itself has been here quite a while but until recently, it was Northeast Missouri State. Just another state college. In 1995, it changed it's name to Truman State University to reflect the change in mission to a Liberal Arts college. It is state run and therefor, rather cheap. Also, lots of scholarships are available. However, for out of state students such as yourself, it can get more expensive.
However, it's a bargain compared to most colleges these days and you get a great education here, especially if you want to be a teacher since it used to be a teacher's college.
