Rollins or Mizzou?

I recently gained admission to both Rollins College and the University Of Missouri, both are my top choices at this point and both will average out to be about the same price due to money I recieved from Rollins, I’ve been struggling about which school to choose due to the fact that I’m not sure that I want to attend such a small school in Rollins, and I’ve heard mixed reviews about they’re education/business program, as far as Mizzou I’ve heard/gathered that it’s a very safe choice for basically every aspect of college, while Rollins seems to be more of a wild card

Rollins is not a wild card! it is an amazing school. so is Missouri. they are so different,only you can decide! love the choices… most people do not cast such a wide net!

Go to Mizzou! Being part of the SEC is amazing.

Rollins is one of the top colleges in the South (always ranked top3 regionally). Its business school is top-notch.
Mizzou’s well-known for journalism, otherwise it’s not as solid academically. Both are extremely different though. Have you visited yet? Done an “admitted student overnight”?

I’ve visited both, Rollins just briefly while on vacation, I’m just not too sure that I want to go to a school as small as Rollins, so what I’m asking is that does it feel as small as it actually is? and will I feel like I’m missing out on the overall big school college experience if I attend?

You shouldn’t just “visit briefly”. As a senior, you should do an overnight. Your HS should be able to give you the days off for that purpose. An overnight means you attend a few classes, you talk with students and professors, you see what students do in their free time, you eat in the cafeteria, listen to discussions, read the paper. You get a feel for the campus and life there.
As far as I know, Rollins doesn’t “feel” small, at least not as small as a high school would with that many students. (Keep in mind that Caltech, for example, has 900 students only yet totally “feels” like a university). But it IS smaller than Mizzou. The only wau for you to know which experience is the best fit for you is to actually spend 2 days there. :slight_smile:

You’ll be in residence for at least four winters; having lived in Missouri, I’d opt for Rollins, with this being the key variable.
