Hear about MSSU from one of our own: Jacob Moreland (AGHS Class of 2016)
"I suppose the main reasons I chose MSSU were the distance and the affordability. Joplin is just far away enough from home to give me some space, but close enough that I can make a trip home very quickly. The campus is also not a massive one which allows for more personal relationships with the professors and other students. I am definitely enjoying my time here at Missouri Southern and there are always events to attend. I would have to say I made the right decision."
