They gave me a full ride scholarship plus a $4,000 stipend to study abroad which was a deal I couldn't turn down. They only give out 12 per year so it was a pretty big deal. It was a small size which seemed to be a good transition from high school to college.

Course Curriculum

9

Truman is tough and you have to put in a lot of time for straight A's. Student's mental health often suffers as a result of the rigor of Truman with students often pulling all-nighters to get massive amounts of work done.

Exams

ACT was the only exam I needed to take. I did not take any university exams until senior year taking a test for each of my majors.

Fees

Total cost is a combination of in-state or out of state tuition, housing costs, meal plan, a charge for each class within your major, and other fees such as athletic fee, sustainability fee, student activities fee, and a fee relating to the health center services.

Examination Structure

This varies for each class with some classes having only multiple choice tests and others being only short answer or essay style. They have a no cheating policy in place but students still get around it.

Faculty

9

Faculty is a spectrum. Some faculty are super nice and helpful and take time to learn every student's name while others seem to put in minimal work on making connections with students.

Hostel

8

I lived on campus for 4 years because my scholarship covered it.
