The Best Spaces And Places To Have Class At Mizzou

Although I have only attended Mizzou for a year, as I enter my second year, one thing that has crossed my mind each semester is ... “Do I like the buildings I have class in?”

Over time, I have acquired some favorite spots. I have compiled a list of my top five favorite locations to have classes in at the ZOU:

Cornell:

With Cornell being pretty centrally located, not too far from the student center and located on the edge of Greek Town, it is a perfect walk to class for Greeks, off-campus residents, and even most dorm students. Considering Cornell is a newer building, it has a crisp and clean look and feel to it, which makes it a welcoming place to not only walk into, but to have class in as well. Cornell also contains many lounge areas with computers and printers, where students can hang out between classes and even get some homework or printing done. I have found my time spent in Cornell to be a pretty great experience.Switzler:

Although Switzler is far from many buildings, it is one of the oldest buildings and is nestled by the far end of the Quad towards Downtown. The inside of the building has been renovated to give it a fresh atmosphere, so attending class on any floor is a pleasant experience, with well-maintained bathrooms and sitting areas on each floor. I personally have had multiple classes and have spent many breaks between classes in Switzler. Having the computer and printing area handy at the front of the building for those last minute assignments was a big help, too.Walter Williams/RJI:

Of course, I am probably biased since I am a journalism major, but with Mizzou being the top journalism school in the country, there is visible character and creativity that goes on in these connecting buildings of Walter Williams/RJI. From the building's very own J Café, to the big screen TVs with news playing, to the urban study areas and even the trendy atmosphere. The J School is set up in a very lax way that attracts not only J Students, but any student to a sight of success. Obviously mostly journalism classes take place here with small class sizes, but many students that are not taking journalism classes come to Walter Williams and RJI to study or to take a study break by grabbing a latte at the J café, with its location so close to downtown Columbia. Dorm classrooms:

Sounds random, but honestly one of the classes I enjoyed the most was located in a dorm. Many dorms have classrooms in them, including Hudson, Center, Respect, and many others. These classrooms are usually single and by themselves, making the environment of the class low key without a lot of background noise or distractions. Many of the classrooms located in the dorms also have lounge areas and study spaces close by, making it easy to study before or after class. Last year, I had a class right in Center, by the Mizzou Market, making it easy to grab lunch or a snack before or after my class.Anheuser-Busch Natural Resources:

Although Anheuser-Busch isn’t the newest or nicest building on campus, it is very centrally located to both the student center and memorial union which makes for a nice transition between classes. Considering Anheuser-Busch is a pretty big building, many general education courses occur in the large auditoriums.This is a good building and prime location to have large lecture hall-type classes in.


Considering Mizzou is a huge campus with thousands of students and classes to choose from, there are countless buildings that students will have class in throughout the four or more years spent here. Although I have not had class in every building, I have had class in many buildings and I hope this list of my five favorite buildings to have class in helps when making class schedules or even deciding which building to take a study break in during the day.

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?
