"Great facilities, dedicated faculty/staff, pretty strong curriculum and reputation, StillWell fitness programs, HPS labs which were really cool- Oh yea, and cost of living is CRAZY CHEAP here!" Report Response

What impressed you negatively?

"Kirksville is not a happening place. It has TOPS 20,000 people living there, including students from the nearby state university. While that may not seem small to most people, I was alarmed to find that students' idea of a fun time was, get this, GOING TO WAL-MART TO SHOP. I was told this by many students whom I asked what there idea of fun was around there. I think Kirksville would be a great school for those who are married and want to raise a family in a safe and inexpensive environment, or those who are single and focused only on studying. Kirksville has ZERO distractions so it would be easy to study all day and get decent grades. Also, the facilities are somewhat detatched, with the microbiology and anatomy labs in an older building about 2 blocks from the main campus. Not a huge deal, but kind of an annoyance."
