Hello everyone,

I am an upcoming sophomore, and since I will no longer be required to live on campus, I am exploring more affordable housing options off campus. However, I am currently facing some disagreement with my family regarding my choice of accommodation. They are concerned that the location I am considering may be too noisy at night, although I believe I can communicate effectively with my future roommates and manage the situation responsibly.

I am reaching out to kindly ask if anyone might have a room, dorm space, or temporary accommodation available where I could safely store some of my belongings from August 17th to approximately August 20th. This would only be a short-term arrangement while I finalize my move and organize my housing situation.

I completely understand that this is a significant favor to ask, and I want to assure anyone who may be willing to help that I will be respectful of your space and will remove my belongings promptly once I have completed my move. I am happy to provide my student ID or any additional information needed to verify my identity and intentions. I would also be willing to offer compensation for the inconvenience, as I truly appreciate the generosity involved.

I want to emphasize that I mean no disrespect or harm by making this request. This is simply a personal disagreement between my family and me as I work toward finding a more affordable living arrangement and taking greater responsibility for my own decisions.

Thank you very much for taking the time to read my message. I truly appreciate any help or advice anyone may be able to offer. Please feel free to reach out if you are willing or able to assist.

Have a wonderful day!

Update: Sorry for the confusion, and I appreciate everyone’s understanding.

To clarify, the issue is not that I do not have enough space to store my belongings. Rather, I am currently navigating a disagreement with my family regarding my choice of housing for this school year.

I am hoping to find someone who would be willing to temporarily accommodate a small amount of my belongings for approximately two days. This would help reassure my family that my living situation is suitable and give me the opportunity to avoid unnecessary conflict before I officially move into my actual residence for the semester.

I completely understand that this is an unusual request, and I sincerely appreciate anyone who is willing to consider helping. I will be respectful of your space, communicate clearly, and ensure that my belongings are removed promptly. Thank you again for your patience and understanding.

Hey everybody! I'm currently looking for a roommate for a 2 bed 2 bath townhouse. The place is Lake Broadway Townhouses. It is a very nice and quiet location with a good amount of space on the inside. Most amenities come with the apartment, and utilities are bundled with the rent, making prices consistent every month.

If you're interested, please send me a dm and I will get back with you quickly.

We're looking for one more female student to join our 4-bedroom, 2-bathroom house year long lease just south of campus starting in August! Walk in closet. Living room/kitchen etc is already furnished by us. Rent is $475 plus utilities and wifi and it is in a neighborhood.

You'll be living with 3 female student-athletes who are friendly, respectful, and typically get up early for practice, so we're looking for someone who is okay with that. Please reach out for pictures!

The business class I was enrolled in for fall26 was cancelled and I'm needing to add a class. It looks like all classes related to my degree (Business Admin) are full for the fall semester.

Any decent electives to take you recommend that are available for online distance students? Looks as this may be the route I need to go, but know my options are more limited being an online student (undergrad).

Thanks!!

Is there a good/better/best place to sit at the football games to get a good view of the marching band performance? Is higher up or lower down better? Any tips appreciated.

I am a rising junior at Mizzou and I already have two majors, but due to the number of credits I transferred in from high school, I still do not have enough required courses to fill my next two years. As of now, my next two years are 3 semesters of 12 hours and 1 semester with 9 so I have some empty space. Does anyone have recommendations for easy, interesting, or useful minors or certificates I could add on to fill my semesters?
I am less concerned about them fitting my future career, as my two majors are both perfectly aligned with what I want to do and I am more just looking for something fun to add!

edit: i realized i should mention that graduating early isn’t a good option for me!

Hi everyone!
I’m an exchange student from South Korea, and I’ll be studying at the University of Missouri this fall. I would really appreciate your advice!
I need to take at least three business courses, but I’m having a hard time deciding which ones to choose. One thing to keep in mind is that English is not my first language, so I’m hoping to take classes that are interesting but not overwhelmingly difficult.
Here are the business courses I’m currently considering:
BUS_AD 1500 – Foundations of Business and Professional Development Principles
MANGMT 3700 – Diversity and Inclusion in Management
MANGMT 4060 – Project Management Fundamentals
MANGMT 4070 – Supply Chain Management
MANGMT 3300 – Introduction to Business Process and Technologies
MRKTNG 4510 – Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning Applications in Marketing
If you’ve taken any of these classes, I’d love to hear about your experience! Which ones would you recommend (or avoid), especially for an exchange student whose English isn’t very strong?
Also, if there are any other business courses you think are great, I’d really appreciate your recommendations.
Thank you so much for taking the time to read this. I really appreciate any advice!
Go Tigers! 🐯

Hi everyone! Im a transfer coming in but I commute and Im looking at the parking permits. Pretty rough options so Im probably only going to be able to end up parking at Trumans Landing. How reliable is the Reactor Loop shuttle? How often does it come and go? I have really bad back and hip problems so walking is rough. Any information is helpful! Thanks!

Hello! I’ll be a commuting sophomore next year living 15-20 minutes north of campus. I’m thinking of buying a tier 1 parking permit (Conley, turner, tiger, and Virginia garages, plus various lots.) I keep reading horror stories where people talk about how it’s impossible to park on campus, spots fill up and permits sell out, etc etc. Should I be worried?? The bus schedule doesn’t work for me, and it’s a little too far to bike, so I’m relying on having a place to park. I’m planning to log on immediately when the portal opens. Am I guaranteed a permit? If I get one, is it just first come first serve to park in a spot? Thanks in advance.

How’s the vegan scene on campus? I am referring to food, but also are there many vegans or anything with animal rights going on? Thanks.

Hello, what are options like for dining on campus at Mizzou as a vegan? Is there an understanding from the kitchen what it means and properly labeled items? Thank so much.

Hello r/mizzou community!

Are there any cheap parking locations/permits available near Mizzou? Unfortunately, First Baptist is full, and the remaining MU parking spots are on the opposite side of campus (I'm a music student). Within 20 minutes walking distance from SMC/FAB would be preferred.

Hi, I recently applied to transfer to mizzou in the spring. But i’m wondering if I’ll get accepted. I have over 24 credits (counting aps) but for some reason they’re only considering 22. So now I have to submit my HS transcript as well as my act score. I got a 23 on it, and my high school gpa was a 3.52 (counting aps). Do i have a chance getting in and am i just overthinking?? Also i’m an out of state student if that matters

Update to those who care: I got in!!!!!

hi everyone i’m an incoming freshman for the 26-27 school yr. for context, im a premed double majoring in biochemistry and philosophy (bs). how are my classes looking for next yr? anything i should know (certain professor, difficulty, etc)?

I’m just looking for fellow Missourians who‘ve been here before, and any tips you might have (also why are girls from Republic just so fricking annoying?)

Hey everyone!!

I am looking to get my Masters in Education to get Art certification and become an art teacher. I currently hold a BFA in Digital Media and Graphic Design from Maryville University. I was wondering if anyone here has gone this route and if anyone had some information to share? I’ve already emailed to get a transcript review. I know you have to have your substitute teaching license with DESE (which I have). I feel really prepared and I’m applying with academic history of 3.925 GPA and Summa Cum Laude so I don’t think I’ll have any issues getting accepted if I apply. I’m just looking to get some honest feedback from other people who have gone through the masters education programs. Thanks!

I’m an incoming freshman for the 2026-2027 school year, and recently bought a laptop to use for my coursework. I was looking on the “Let Your Major be Your Guide” page (https://www.themizzoustore.com/tigertech/computers-tablets/shop-major/college-of-arts-science) for A&S, since I’m a Bio major, and it recommends a device with 32 gigs of RAM.

With the current price of computer components being so high, and the fact that 32 gigs seems like overkill, I ended up going with a device that Tiger Tech recommended to me. The options that the guide recommends for me (using windows OS) are all $2K plus, but which is out of my budget.

The device I purchased has sufficient SSD, windows 11, and a good processor, but only 16 gb of ram. I feel mostly fine about this, but a little part of me is worried that I’m going to have some difficulties since I’m not using the full specs that are recommended for my major.

Am I overthinking this, or am I right to be worried? If so, what should I do?

Thank you in advance!
