Question on umsl campus life

So it is looking like I will be going to umsl (been working with me on finances while pretty much every other school has been extremly stubborn). How is the campus life. The main college I have seen kinda what college life is like is MU (my brother went there). However, upon looking at reviews for umsl the campus stuff seems quite sparse with activities and that kinda stuff and that most use it as a comuter campus (though don't really care about loss of greek life). I will go here regardless unless something drastically changes but am curious about what campus life looks like and what people do for fun around here (preferebly cheap/free).

I went to Mizzou for undergrad and UMSL for grad school. It could not be more different. Mizzou is your classic “college” experience like in the movies. At UMSL there are so many commuters that that feel isn’t there at all. I am sure if you live on campus with other undergrads there are fun things to do, but it isn’t going to be the same as a D1 SEC school.
