That’s why we go out of our way to offer more housing choices, more comfort and more community. We know that students learn best when they feel comfortable and are fully immersed in an academic community. So our residence halls are located only minutes away from classes, the library and campus computer labs (as well as more casual places to study, such as Brady Commons). And then there are the places to eat … dozens of them. But comfort and convenience are just part of the story. Our optional living-learning communities surround you with people who share your academic and career interests — a great way for you to make friends, find study partners and target your career goals. You'll feel more at home at Mizzou — more welcomed, more relaxed, more connected. But don’t just take our word for it: Visit us and see for yourself.
