    Am learning a lot

    Southeast is a wonderful university for Education Major. This school is ranked in the Top 10 colleges across America for teaching. The teachers are really understanding of your personal situations and they do their very best to see that you get a quality education.
    Am enjoying being here

    I do enjoy attending school here. I am transferring to another college because of family matters but if given the opportunity i would definitely stay. The people and staff are friendly and fun! You get an atmosphere of seriousness and playfulness all at once. Its very enjoyable. Plus there are always great concerts and comedians always coming to town. The sporting events are a blast. The gym and recreation center is AMAZING!!!!!!! They also offer a great diversity of intramural sports for everyone!
    Bang for the buck

    The teachers are helpful and the tuition is decently priced. Be aware of extra charges that you may assume to be free.
    Tips for prospective students

    Be sure and check your emails sent through the campus mail system (they are extremely helpful). If you have unlimited texting sign up for The SEMO Text Alert programs. They send you text messages when classes and school is canceled or if they are offering something special. If you have the opportunity, attend one of the local campuses they offer. These campuses are cheaper and offer the same quality education as the main campus. Also check for scholarship opportunities and programs to help pay back student loans depending on you department because there is a lot out there to take advantage of.
    Great for these types of students

    Great for Education and Business Majors!

    Am learning a lot

    The wide variety of university study categories (generals) really helps expand the knowledge of students. You can discover something you never thought you would be interested in through your general classes. The small class sizes really help each student to receive more attention when needed. All my classes are about the size of my high school classes. All of the professors are willing to help their students during office hours, through e-mail, or even through special meetings. I have learned so much from just one semester.
    Am enjoying being here

    I love the campus at Southeast. The hills can be a little tough sometimes, but it's absolutely beautiful. I have made some fantastic friends and there's always something to do. We go over to the aquatic center, play frisbee on the marching band field, or just hang out in our rooms. The campus is at a great location too.
    Bang for the buck

    SEMO has some of the best rates I saw in my college search. There are tons of scholarships offered through the university, and a lot of them are non-competitive (If you qualify for it, you get it as long as you apply in time). There are lots of opportunities to get financial aid if you need it.
    Tips for prospective students

    Come to a Show Me Day or schedule a campus tour. Talk to your admissions councelor frequently and don't be afraid to talk to students to see what they think of the school.
    Great for these types of students

    I think SEMO is great for a wide variety of students. Social students will find lots of groups and there is a lot of Greek life going on. Those focused on academics will find a lot of enjoyment in the classes. Athletic students have a lot of sports and intermurals to choose from. There's truly something for everybody at SEMO.

    Am learning a lot

    I am learning a lot from my classes here at SEMO. I am in a Child Psychology class and I feel like I have learned the most from this class. The teacher is really helpful and the course is challenging in a positive way. The same level of difficulty is true for my Elementary Education Math class. Also, I am enrolled in two dance classes, Jazz II and Ballet II. Both of these courses are challenging and productive.
    Am enjoying being here

    I enjoy being here because I like living in the dorms and I like the size of the school.
    Bang for the buck

    Southeast Missouri State University, in my opinion, is very reasonable about pricing. Their tuition is much cheaper than many other schools in Missouri and their educational program is equal to the other schools. There are also many available majors to chose from.
    Tips for prospective students

    You should come and visit before you make a decision on any college.
    Great for these types of students

    This school is great for students who like to be social and want to learn.

    there are a multitude of intramural sports, or clubs, or just about anything you would want to do.

    Am learning a lot

    The professors really care about each individual student and his or her learning process. All of my professors thus far have taken a personal interest in my life in and outside the class room. Professors are able to take time to help every student because of the small class sizes and they treat the student as equals. I find that it is easier to learn in an environment where the teacher is honest and open with the students. Small class sizes and mutual respect between teacher and student are vital criteria for a positive learning community.
    Southeast also offers a variety of classes on a wide range of subjects. Every student is not only welcome but encouraged to try new educational experience. I had never taken a ballet class before coming to SEMO but it has always something that I wanted to try. The class that I took down here was a great experience. I learned a lot about ballet and gained confidence in my performance skills.
    Am enjoying being here

    I really enjoy the atmosphere of SEMO. The college is located in the small town of Cape Girardeau. The school and the surrounding community have a lot to offer any prospective student. There are at several student organizations on campus and hundreds of ways for student to get involved. I never find myself bored because there is so much to do on campus and in the surrounding town. The Theater and Dance department performs several shows a semester. The historical river front of Cape Girardeau is a kitschy mix of old and new. There are several antique stores and mom and pop shops that surround the college. The people of both the town and the college are friendly and welcoming.
    Bang for the buck

    SEMO is big college experience for a small college price. SEMO is one of the best deals in the state. Though the tuition is relatively low the educational experience is priceless.
    Tips for prospective students

    Prospective students should check the Southeast portal email daily. Not only do the professors use this for communication but SEMO will send stuff about billing and other important school information. Check Email before you arrive on campus as well because your roommate might try to contact you via the portal.
    Make sure to apply for scholarships Southeast offers several scholarships for students of all majors. Make sure during the application process you click on the apply for endowed scholarship button.
    Sign up for a learning community if you can. It is a great way to get to know other students in your major before classes actually start. Being in a community will give you a network of friends. Floor wide study parties before finals are remarkably helpful especially in the learning communities where the whole floor has similar classes.
    Learn the hours of the meal plan otherwise you will run out of Flex dollars fast. You need flex for pretty much every meal so don’t use it all the first few weeks
    Great for these types of students

    Theater and Dance students. The River campus is a state of the art facility and an ideal learning environment. The professors in the Theater and Dance department are among the best in the country. Ken Stilson the director of the department is the writer of the text book which is used all over the country. The program is great for students from all back grounds. All of the Students and staff are friendly and willing to help you learn. There are ample opportunities for theater or dance student to perform as well.

    I am get a major in Forensic Chemistry and they are very good if you want to go into Forensics. I have just completed my first year and they focus on your writing skills which you need in almost every job field out there.
    Am enjoying being here

    There is always something happening on campus that you can do. There is also the Show Me Center on campus that has concerts and other shows at it that students can get discounts on.
    Bang for the buck

    Even if you are an out of state student there are scholarships that you will most likely get. You also can rent your books for a price of $25 for each book you get so you don't have to go out and spend over $100 on each book.
    Tips for prospective students

    If you live in any of the Tower buildings try to get a lower floor because there are fire alarms that go off a lot and after you evaculate you then have to use the stairs to get back up to your room.
    Great for these types of students

    Great for students who want a somewhat smaller campus with a big enough student body where they will get a diverse popultion of students. Also a person who is not afraid of walking up and down hills and stairs because the campus is on the bluffs of the Mississippi River.

    Did learn a lot

    The teacher's were all well versed in there field of study and the work assigned wasn't too much but just enough to keep up with studies.
    Did enjoy being here

    The people at Southeast are very much laidback and cool people to be around during stressful time in school.
    Bang for the buck

    Southeast Missouri tuition is one of the cheapest that you will come around and for the price of the tuition you get the best of textbooks, help in learning, and an all around great college experience.
    Tips for prospective students

    Find a group of people who you can work well together with so you all could form a study group and stick together as long as you are in school.

    Taking liberal arts classes really help me to expand my horizons! I am learning so much more than i ever expected to! The classes that I am taking are so interesting, and I find myself wanting to learn and become familiar with the subject material!
    Am enjoying being here

    Everyone is so nice! As a college freshmen, it was easy to make new friends! I find myself calling my dorm home. I couldn't imagine being at any other school.
    Bang for the buck

    Compared to other colleges in Missouri, SEMO is one of the most affordable. They have a great Education Program that looks awesome on job applications! Most of the people I know think that SEMO is a great school to attend because of it's affordability.
    Tips for prospective students

    It is not the flattest campus, so be prepared to make a hike to class! That is the only downfall to this school! Just come to Southeast with an open mind and an open heart and you are sure to find a group of friends that you can truely be yourself around!
    Great for these types of students

    Southeast is great for any kind of student! I see all kinds of people every day! If you're from St. Louis, you'll love the drive from STL to Cape. It is just far enough to be away from home!

    Will learn a lot

    This is the only college in Missouri that offers the degree I am after, Historic Preservation. They offer so many classes that I would have never thought of taking before. I feel that with the small calss sizes I will learn a lot.
    Will enjoy being here

    The campus is beautiful and has so much to offer. I can't wait till August 15 which is early move in day for on campus workers! I plan on joining Catholic Campus Ministries, Student Activities Council Residence Hall Association and possibly AFROTC. I am really excited to be a freshman!
    Bang for the buck

    Out of the colleges I was looking at SEMO was the cheapest but had everything I was looking for in a college. they have a lot of scholarships and hopefully I will be awarded a good financial aid package.
    Tips for prospective students

    Make sure to visit campus. People here are very helpful in answering your questions, don't be afraid to call and ask questions. Also the admissions counselors are very helpful.

    Am learning a lot

    One of the great things about SEMO (and there are a lot) is the classes I have to take. In order to complete any degree, I have to take a wide variety of classes that will help me become more well-rounded as person. Learning a little about a lot, instead of a lot about a little, the first few semesters of college will give me a different perspective as my education and life goes on.
    The professors are great; in each class students and professors learn from each other. The staff is very understanding and always willing to talk to you whenever there's a problem.
    Am enjoying being here

    I really like it here! When I walk around campus, it just feels like what I always imagined college should be: falling autumn leaves and professors and students conversing outside Academic Hall. Campus is beautiful, even though there are a lot of hills. Walking to class alone is a work out, but SEMO has a convenient shuttle system if you don't want to walk all the way across campus.
    There are a lot of different residence halls, and they all offer great support systems for everyday life. Each residence hall is a really tight community–I've met some awesome people on my floor alone! We have a really great time together.
    Bang for the buck

    SEMO is one of the best values in Missouri and the states surrounding. The quality of the education and experience is more than worth what it costs to attend. Also, when you consider the massive amount of (often underutilized) student serives, it really is one of the best deals! Also, they have a wonderful library and book rental system.
    Tips for prospective students

    Take a campus visit. Homey Cape Girardeau is described by locals as a big small town. This is a perfect description. I grew up in a small town, then moved to the big city (Saint Louis area), so this town is a perfect mix for me.
    Don't be afraid to contact teachers and staff members! They actually ENJOY helping you and making your life a little easier.
    Great for these types of students

    Future educators and people who love people. There are so many different kinds of people here, so many things to do and groups to join. Greek life is active, night life is active...I really love it here.

    SEMO allows for collegiate athletes to overturn the academic arena as well as the athletic fields. Athletes get priority registration, two weeks before any other student. This is unfair because all of the classes are taken by the time everyone else is able to apply.
    Am enjoying being here

    SEMO is a very greek orientated campus. Sure there are other clubs, but they are casted aside because greeks take over all of the bulletin boards. SEMO is also a dry campus, but students still drink and put their beer all across the campus. The shuttle service is slow and unreliable. The meal plans are messed up and the food is terrible.
    Bang for the buck

    I do not like going to this college. I am wanting to transfer even though I have a full ride scholarship. This campus is all hills and the parking situation is terrible for first year students.

    SEMO is a good education for the price. Most of the teachers are passionate about what they do and you can see that in their work.
    SEMO. For incoming freshmen, there are many scholarships available however, for transfer students from other 4 year universities, there are none.
    Tips for prospective students

    Do your homework. Most of the teachers will work with you if you show that you are trying hard, but if you act like you don't care or slack off they are very quick to not try to help you out if you get behind.

    Academic Rigor

    It depends on one's major. Some University Studies classes are very easy, some classes within the program I'm part of are very challenging.
    Food and Dining

    There is a pretty decent selection in the various cafeterias / cafe's and they change every so often, taking the students opinions into account.
    What to do for fun

    There is almost always something going on on campus and there are plenty of clubs, organizations, and Greek houses to get involved in .
    Bang for the buck

    They use a tuition lock-in, meaning that what ever tuition rate you have your first semester at SEMO will be your rate until you graduate. However, this does not include fees, which have recently come off an increase freeze and are jumping.

    Clubs and Activities

    There is a very wide variety of clubs and activities to participate in through SEMO.
    Greek Life

    SEMO has a very large Greek life.
    Campus Safety

    SEMO is a very safe campus. There is very little crime for being such a large campus. There are emergency buttons along most walk ways and you can always call the Public Safety to escort you to your car if you don't feel comfortable.

    I thought that SEMO was good school. I also think that they need to reevaluate what they think that the meaning of the word teacher is. All in all this school was good and an enjoyable experience.
    Tips for prospective students

    Go in running and bite the bullet and every thing will end up okay.
    Academic Rigor

    It was challenging but manageable. I thought that it was harder than high school.

    I can not rate this because I commuted to college every day.
    Food and Dining

    The food was good and they had plenty of variety, but it was extremely expensive.
    What to do for fun

    They have an awesome rec center that has every kind of sports that one could ever want to do.
    Bang for the buck

    Not the best teachers. I am not saying that all of their teachers are bad, they have some really good ones, but then they have people who are just justified babysitters.
    Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus

    They have a zip line in a pool.
    Great for these types of students

    Students who want to party and have a good time. It is also a good school if you want to just pass and not have to actually learn your degree.

    I am satisfied with my experience here overall. No university is perfect but I have found the advisors to be very helpful. The campus can be quite a workout to get around but there are shuttles to help with that.
    Tips for prospective students

    I suggest that they get to know their advisors if possible. They are crucial in helping students set up a four year plan and successfully completing them. Do not procrastinate registering for classes and housing, you will be sorry if you do. Go to class! You are paying for it so show up.
    Academic Rigor

    Some classes are more difficult than others. Myedu.com shows the workload for classes and what grades most students get. I suggest consulting this site before registering for classes and talk to students who have taken a future class. They could give you useful information.
    Dorm Life

    Know yourself before you pick a dorm. I personally love community style but not everyone can handle it. There are issues sometimes but talking with your RA usually settles things quickly.
    Food and Dining

    It is very convient but not always so delicious.
    What to do for fun

    There are tons of clubs and organizations for students to get involved in as well as downtown shops and restaurants. The mall is a fun destination for the weekend.

    Southeast Missouri State University has met my needs with their online RN-BSN program. The advising staff was not as excellent as I would have liked. The instructors for my general studies university classes were mostly excellence and the instructors for the nursing classes were average to good.
    Tips for prospective students

    Be very persistent with the advising staff about your needs and early registration for classes is a must. Often a class will say it is closed but you may contact the instructor to ask for an open seat and they will comply, do this if you need the class.
    Academic Rigor

    The University Studies classes required average amount of time per class. The nursing classes were of high expectations, including clinical expectations.

    I was an online student, this does not apply

    most classes taught by professors holding a doctorate, few graduate students. classes never get canceled on the basis of weather. food is awful.
    Tips for prospective students

    if you are going to live on campus, get the lowest mealplan you would need and then supplement with food from somewhere else, especially if you have special diet needs. the food options are very limited on campus.
    Academic Rigor

    the lower level classes are extremely simple, but once you get to 200 level classes, the teachers seem to forget that you take more than one class a semester and pile on the work.
    Dorm Life

    in the community style dorms, there is a good sense of community, but in the suite style dorms, most people don't even know their neighbors names. many dorms also falling apart.

    Bang for the buck

    My future plans include majoring in English, getting my masters, and teaching it at a collegiate level. I talked to the head of English department and he informed me that 9 out of 10 teachers will get the job and often they are offered amidst finishing up their degree.

    Will learn a lot

    I guess so..
    Will enjoy being here

    Yeah! Campus is really cool looking especially with all the old buildings and recreation center. One dorm is soo close to the football field that it gets hit by field goals!

    There are so many good instructors at SEMO. You will learn quickly who to take from the ratemyinstructor website and also from all your friends you meet here. I plan on entering the competitive nursing program in Spring 2013. Till then, most of the instructors know how strict to be in order to get the important things in your head which will help you and not to worry about the pointless information you don't need. (I didn't take math at SEMO)
    I highly recommend trying to test out of developmental en classes and the alecs program (math). I've only heard bad things about them, they are a waste of your money because a lot of people who took it failed.
    Am enjoying being here

    Although living on campus can be a drag sometimes it is so worth the experience. I love it 99% of the time. You see people you know all the time so you're never lonely which makes it hard to be home-sick even though you'll be ready to go home whenever you do. I absolutely love it here and I highly highly highly suggest going Greek! It's the best experience of your life. Girls recruitment is way more stressful than guys, but well worth the week of craziness.

    SEMO is one of, if not the cheapest state schools in MO. I stayed home my first year because of financial issues, but decided no matter what the cost I needed to go away. After looking at tuition information it was not nearly as bad as I thought; especially after scholarships.
    Tips for prospective students

    Scholarships and financial aide are important especially to me. Start your search as early as possible and don't stop they have scholarships for everyone don't let money keep you away from enjoying yourself. One day I had 59 cents in my checking account, and it was well worth it. Maybe that is not the type of comment I should put on here, but I still owe tuition and other dues and I'm not stressed about it! Everything here is worth it you will have a great time plus this is one of the cheapest schools in the mid-west!!
    Great for these types of students

    Everyone I've met here is so friendly! This is a very social campus WAY better than community college! I LOVE IT!
