What Students Are Saying

Truman is a small school, this makes the classes small also (about 20-30 people). Kirksville is not a big city however and this is off-putting for many people, but the campus makes up for this because there is so much to participate in. I doubt you will find yourself bored.
Keara from Wildwood, MO
Apply for Scholarships, although Truman is typically generous in awarding incoming freshmen with scholarships, always apply for additional aid. I also advise students to prepare for rigorous coursework. Truman lives up to it's reputation as being the #1 public institution in the Midwest.
Christopher from St. Louis, MO
I have 3 tips.
1. If you have an issue in a class, talk to your professor. Professor love getting to know their students.
2. Join an organization or activity.
3. Don't be afraid to meet people. That is how you make friends.
Jessica from Maryland Heights, MO
Immerse yourselves in this school! It's a fantastic school that will provide you with a very well-rounded education. However, getting involved on campus will make your college experience much more enjoyable. There are countless organizations, social fraternities, service fraternities, academic clubs, etc that are easy to join on campus. Getting involved is the fastest way to make friends and to really get the most out of college.
Abigail from O'Fallon, MO
Apply for scholarships!!
Chelsea from Kansas City, MO
For incoming students, I highly recommend that you get involved as much as you can. College is a lot more rewarding and fun when you feel like you have a place where you belong. Getting involved with various groups around Truman's campus gives you the chance to meet more people with similar interests as yourself.
Jessica from Florissant, MO
College, especially Truman, is much more difficult than high school. It is a lot of work, you have to study.
Danielle from O FALLON, MO
Expect to work. This is not high school and your professor's will make sure you know that. However, that does not mean that they're not going to help you if you don't need it. You should talk to them if you're having issues in their class, and if you don't want to go to them for help, you can always go to one of the tutoring centers or find an upperclassman that has taken the class before.

Also go to the Activities Fair. It is held around the second week of classes and you can see all of the organizations that are present at Truman. I can guarantee you will find one that attracts your interest.
Emily from Silex, MO
Be aware that Kirksville is somewhat of a small place, so you do have to make your own fun a lot of the times.
