Signing up for senior year classes is quickly approaching, January to be specific. I remember freshman year like it was yesterday and the fact that I'm almost finished with high school is exciting but nerve-racking at the same time.

I have been looking at Truman State for around a year or so. The September Showcase was yesterday, Saturday, and I had the opportunity to attend. I fell in love with Truman just looking at their website for the past year and finally being on campus secured my love. The campus fits me so well and I can tell even from only being there eight hours.

Inside the library

It's a smaller college, with around 6,000 undergrad students. I personally love that because the student to teacher ratio is smaller, on average 16:1. This means you can connect with your professors and peers and work toward a well-rounded education.

Violette Hall, where a lot of Business classes are held

Every person I talked to was wonderful, none of them were rude or negative. Truman is usually ignored by most people because of the "it's in the middle of no where and there is nothing to do" mentality. The college students I talked to said it is all about what you make of it. If you join organizations and get involved then it isn't going to be boring, if you just sit in your room and sulk about being in a small town, yes it is not going to be enjoyable. 

Some of the Quad

At one point during the day, the school had you divided out by the major you are thinking about and there was a seminar. I attended the School of Business "seminar" and there the professors talked and there was also a board of undergrad and grad students. From what they presented, I know that the Business school seems like a great fit for me. The professors have a good connection with their students because the class sizes are smaller. The professors are able to learn who the students are as people outside of the classroom. 

And some of the Residence Halls

As you can see from the pictures I took, the campus is beautiful. Truman has been able to preserve the older brick buildings while still keeping it modern and updated on the inside. The campus is so serene and everything is close by. I loved it so much.

There is so much more I could talk about but I will save it to this for now. 

Until next time,
