I’m having a very tough time deciding between these two schools for Fall 2015. I am going to be a transfer student coming from Southern California, and I do not have plans to pursue greek life. I liked the Mizzou campus better than Alabama partially because of the fact that I felt less of a greek presence, and this made me feel like I would have a less difficult time making friends. I also really liked downtown Columbia and its attachment to the Mizzou campus, but the Strip in Tuscaloosa was really cool as well. As of right now, it’s looking like I may have to live off campus at both schools… which I don’t really want, but I could manage I guess. The main question I am wondering about is how difficult will it be to make friends at both of these schools assuming that I do not want to go greek? I’m ready to respond to any follow up questions you guys have for me but please help me with some positives and negatives for each campus. Coming from California and knowing only 1 person at Alabama, 0 at Missouri, you can definitely say I’m a little intimidated and don’t want to end up leaving. I am a guy btw, going to be a sophomore when I transfer.
