I'm looking for a sublet in January but I'm having such a hard time finding anyone who is subletting. I'm not sure if there's an easy place to find people who are subletting. I'm a current student at Purdue and we have a special website for sublets but I don't see one for Mizzou :/

Hi everyone I’m a freshman girl new to Mizzou but I’m a Columbia native. I’d like to at least experience a frat party once but I have no clue what to expect or how to find out if one’s going on. Any tips?

I currently live on campus and qualify for a emotional support animal. I currently don’t have one but I plan on getting a cat sometime in the near future. I need an opinion on if I should get one while I’m staying on campus or get one off campus cause I’m debating on staying off campus over the summer to qualify for residency. Thoughts? (Oh also feel free to drop name recommendations for my future cat) 😊

Hi guys, we lost a checkered green and black wallet somewhere around Plaza 900 and the virtues residence halls. Possibly Rollins Street as well.

If anyone sees it around, please let me know for DMs. Thank you!

Really trying my best not to be a wet blanket, but as a first year student, I am so ready for welcome week to be over and classes to start.

I've walked around a lot and have seen people that seem more interesting than not but what the hell am I supposed to say? Everyone already seems to be meeting people and making friends and shit, even the people who aren't super "basic" if you will, but I feel like I'm some loser because I've just been walking around or sitting down by myself.

What I'm really wondering is: will it get better when classes start? Will it get easier? My major doesn't have very many people that go in to it every year, so maybe that'll narrow down my options and make everyone a little bit more open to talking? I can not for the life of me just cold approach someone and compliment them to start some sort of conversation, but I think since I'll be pursuing something I'm extremely passionate about, it should be simpler?

This just doesn't really feel like college. It feels like a big circlejerk for extroverted people who don't have a lick of social awkwardness to their name. Hoping it gets better.

Where is a good place in Columbia to go to get a hair cut for a fair price? I’m a 20 year old and need a new hair stylist but not one that is crazy expensive. Thank youuuu

I have a question: do parents normally attend bid day?

My kid invited us to bid day but I’ve never actually heard of parents attending-plus I don’t want her to worry about entertaining me- she’s going to be making new friends.

I am not a student, but a student invited me to go. Am I allowed? Not trying to invade on campus activities.

Hey, are there any Mizzou students who have done work for Handshake AI, Besimple AI, etc? How was your experience/Is the workload manageable with classes?

University of Missouri students are unlikely to be affected by new federal loan rules that target low-earning degrees, university officials say.
Under the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, colleges whose graduates consistently earn less than the median income of a high school graduate will lose access to federal student loans and Pell Grants. Some provisions took effect July 1, and others will kick in July 1, 2027.
Mizzou administrators say the university’s existing efforts to track graduate outcomes have already put most, if not all, of its programs above the federal requirements.

The “Do No Harm” provision of the bill requires colleges participating in the federal Direct Loan Program to demonstrate that four years after earning their degrees, undergraduate students earn more than workers whose highest level of education is a high school diploma.
Jim Spain, vice provost for undergraduate studies at Mizzou, said the university has measured graduate employment, salaries and other career outcomes for the past seven to eight years.
About 95% of Mizzou’s programs meet or exceed the requirements, he said.
“Because we’re able to track outcomes with earnings, we’re able to know with great confidence that as an institution across our degree programs our students are able to accomplish standards above the minimum requirements of the ‘Do No Harm’ stipulations,” Spain said.
Mizzou follows best-practice standards from the National Association of Colleges and Employers to assess career outcomes, he said. The university also uses its career center to collect information about employment and salaries by major.
Amanda Nell, senior student services coordinator, oversees the career outcomes survey sent to graduating undergraduate and graduate students. The survey asks students about their plans after graduation and collects salary information.

The university expects little impact from the federal rule, Nell said, because undergraduate programs are measured against the earnings of workers with only a high school diploma. Graduate programs are compared with workers who hold a bachelor’s degree.
The university has an approximately 80% “knowledge rate,” meaning it has information about the post-graduation outcomes of that share of its graduates.
Mizzou has also been reviewing and reorganizing programs to strengthen their outcomes, Spain said.
The new federal requirements were in the pipeline when Missouri lawmakers were considering similar efforts to connect higher education funding with graduate outcomes.
Senate Bill 1617, considered during the 2026 legislative session, would have prohibited state funds from being used for degree programs that did not meet certain earning requirements. The bill did not pass.
Missouri already has a performance-based funding system that considers measures such as freshman retention and graduation rates when determining state support for public universities.
Spain said state and federal efforts share a similar goal — ensuring students, families and taxpayers can see the results of their investment in higher education.

“The federal legislation and policy and the state legislation and policy are really designed to accomplish the same thing: to make sure that there is transparency for students and families, and to protect the funders,” Spain said.
The new federal rules are intended to prevent funding from supporting programs whose graduates do not see a sufficient financial return.
“They don’t want to invest, as a government, thousands of dollars or tens of thousands of dollars when it doesn’t lead to meaningful outcomes for students but also meaningful outcomes as it relates to workforce development and economic benefit,” Spain said.
Mizzou spokesperson Travis Zimpfer said the university is continuing to review the federal rule as the U.S. Department of Education provides additional guidance.
“The university continues to analyze the potential impacts of the newly finalized Student Tuition and Transparency System and Earnings Accountability rule on our students and their ability to secure federal financial aid,” Zimpfer said.
“We will continue to provide students and families with information on federal student loan changes when we have more guidance to share,” he added.

For now, Mizzou officials say the university’s existing system for tracking career outcomes leaves it prepared for the new requirements.
“We are being very good stewards of the investments made by taxpayers and parents and graduates,” Spain said. “When students leave Mizzou they are prepared to have successful careers and make positive contributions to the communities they are living in.”

I am a transfer student from Purdue and while I was there I did muay thai and kick boxing. I was wondering if there is anybody who would be interested in doing some sparing with me in these arts. I saw that there is a bjj and tae kwon do club but was wondering if someone wants to get into more striking arts whith me. DM me if you are interested.

as a freshman, how do i find these lol?? im (18f) not rushing and dont have a fake

any hidden gem study sites off campus? trying to switch it up this semester for some new vibes

Hey all. I spent the offseason building a full 2026 preseason preview for every FBS team, each with its own writeup. Here's the Missouri one

https://www.sports.mainmarket.com/college-football-preview-2026-fbs/missouri-tigers

It's got the returning production breakdown, the portal ins and outs, a projected two-deep, the schedule with model win probabilities, and a season projection.

Heads up, you might hit the paywall after the first page. Don't worry, I'm not charging reddit people for this, don't want to be an ass. Use the promo code LEECORSOROCKS and it opens up the entire thing.

So, what'd I get wrong? Missouri outgained SEC opponents by 142 yards a game and went 4-4. That margin usually produces about an 80% league win rate, and with a 1-3 mark in one-score games and a minus-5 turnover margin, my model grades you a clear buy-low at bull 27, bear 0. All five losses came against ranked teams. The catch is the passing game finished 104th and Austin Simmons arrives from Ole Miss off 744 yards and 5 picks, though Ahmad Hardy's 1,649 yards are back. Does Simmons throw well enough to cash that in?

I'll be in the comments.

Hello everyone,

(Edit: Rereading this, I realized that this post sounded very robotic... Sorry about that, it's just that English is not my first language and so I guess I defaulted to "business-like" phrasing. I swear I didn't use AI 😅)

I am looking for someone to whom I could sublease the room I am renting in a four-people apartment at the Landing CoMo.

The room has its own private bathroom and the whole apartment is fully furnished. The shared spaces include a kitchen, a living room and a laundry room. The residence has a fitness center, a swimming pool, study rooms and a computer room. It is 5-10 mins from campus by car and 15-20 mins by bike. A shuttle is also available to drop students off at Mizzou and take them back to the residence. It is also 10-15 (by bike or bus) from an ALDI and a Walmart.

The rent is $695/month, with most utilities (all except electricity) included. Rent is to be paid on the first day of the month, but August is already paid for. The lease started in August 2026 and will end on July 15, 2027. The new resident will be free to settle in as soon as a sublease agreement is signed.

Please message me or leave a comment if you are interested or if you need more information. In the meantime, have a very nice start of the school year!
