Columbia, MO - not your average Missouri town
-
5/21/2007
I moved to Columbia to attend Mizzou, and though I graduated over a year ago, I am still living here. It's a great town - not too big, not too small. The University of Missouri is a good school, and one of the biggest employers in Missouri (and where I work now). There is also Columbia College, Stephens College, and Moberly Area Community College. However, I don't think of Columbia as a "college town." There is actually a lot to do considering it's a town of under 100,000, including the Ragtag, which is a tiny theater that shows independent films, and the entire "downtown district" which houses many locally owned businesses. You do have midwest weather, however, with hot summers and cold winters, but if you like living in the Midwest, but don't want a really small town, Columbia may be right for you.
