<p>I am thinking about transferring to Mizzou this Spring. I was planning on transferring to SEMO but after doing a campus visit at both schools I liked Mizzou a lot better. I am a little bit nervous about the large class sizes and afraid I wont be able to make good grades I am an average to slightly above average student 3.25 gpa at community college. I dont study enough. Would you recommend transferring to SEMO or Mizzou for a better quality education and better college experience? I plan on majoring in Fishery and Wildlife Sciences and then applying for the Occupational Therapy graduate program. I know weird combo but F&W sounds interesting to me and will knock the few prereqs out that I have left.</p>
<p>I’m the parent of a Mizzou graduate (Arts & Science). Do you have friends or family who have gone to either Mizzou or SEMO? Not too many Mizzou students visit this forum, so you might have more luck offline. If you had a better feeling about Mizzou, why not go there? The Mizzou ag school has a great reputation, so you can’t go wrong. I’m not sure why you’re looking at this major, though, if your goal is OT. About large classes: By sophomore year, my S’s classes were smaller. In large lecture classes, he always had a tenured professor as a teacher, not a graduate assistant. About studying: If you “don’t study enough,” you can’t count on maintaining that GPA at Mizzou. If you invest more effort, you’ll have a good academic experience there.</p>
<p>My son is a sophomore Biological Engineering Major from Pennsylvania and he really loves it up there. He went to a very small high school - grad class of 120 - and had no problem adjusting…some lectures are huge…but then you do have small class sections of about 25 students. He had a 3.85 GPA first year. This year he is a Peer Advisor over a Freshman Interest Group. These FIGS help freshmen adjust to college better. The campus is beautiful… he has really mature and nice friends… of course you do see the partiers up there but you do at every school. Not sure if they have your major, but we have nothing but praise for the school.</p>
