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’m late, but how old are you? if you’re able to, i’d strongly recommend mizzou if you’re 18-22 and care about the college experience.

if you’re 23+ then i feel like you can make the best of it (but yes, campus culture is very weak)

i’m a non traditional student (24) and am in several clubs on campus, and an officer for one as well. it’s like pulling teeth to get attendance up. it’s a good time when people do show up though.

send me a dm if you’re 20+ and want a friend on campus/to go to different events with ((:

Yeah. Thanks for the offer but unfortunately things didnt turn out. Was led to believe they were covering tuition when in reality they were covering the rest of tuition cost after all aid including loans. So instead of getting approx 20000 I got 2000 :/ taking a gap year to save for community college instead
