M.S in Environmental Science - Batch of 2027
4.5
Supportive learning environment with great value for environmental science students.
Tips: Students should know that Southeast Missouri State University offers a supportive academic environment with approachable professors and diverse learning resources. However, international students should be prepared for a quieter campus life, especially in a small-town setting. It's important to research housing, cost of living, and funding opportunities beforehand. The transition was smooth academically, but there was a cultural shift in terms of communication style and classroom interaction. The culture here emphasises independence and open discussion, which may feel different at first. Over time, I adapted well by participating in campus activities and making friends from various backgrounds. I received a merit-based international student scholarship. It was awarded based on my undergraduate GPA and application profile. The scholarship covered a portion of my tuition fee, reducing my financial burden significantly. I'm quite satisfied overall. The university provides a solid academic foundation, the Environmental Science programme is well-structured, and the U. S. offers a wide range of opportunities for practical learning and research. While there are challenges, especially financially, the overall experience has been rewarding.
Likes (Internships): The university provides strong support for internship opportunities, especially through faculty guidance and the career services centre. Professors are approachable and often connect students with real-world projects or external organisations. There is plenty of guidance available. Faculty members and academic advisors actively help students identify suitable internships. The career centre regularly hosts workshops, resume clinics, and networking events that prepare students for internship applications. The internships offered are highly relevant to Environmental Science. Students get opportunities to work with environmental agencies, research labs, conservation groups, and local government projects that align with their coursework and research interests.
Dislikes (Value for money): Southeast Missouri State University offers a good quality education in Environmental Science at a relatively affordable tuition rate compared to many other U. S. universities. The coursework is relevant, and the faculty is supportive, especially for international students. However, limited scholarship or assistantship opportunities slightly reduce the overall value proposition. The tuition fee is mostly justified. The MS in Environment Science programme provides practical exposure, access to research facilities, and career-oriented learning. The curriculum is well-structured to match current environmental challenges, which adds to the course's long-term value. Still, offering more financial aid would make it even more attractive and accessible.

Exploring opportunities.
Tips: Students can be prepared for a potential cultural shift especially if they are coming from a different country or region. It's essential to be open-minded and adaptable to new experiences, cultures and perspectives.
Likes (Safety): I rated safety at Southeast Missouri state university with a 5.
Apart from campus security the universe likely provides resources such as emergency call boxes, well-lit pathways and safety escorts to ensure students' safety on campus with many programs.
Dislikes (Part time work): Not many on-campus part-time jobs are available. While there are some opportunities available on campus, the variety and number of positions may be limited. Balancing part-time with academics can be challenging for some students due to scheduling conflicts.

Good place to study and stay
Tips: Before coming here I would suggest getting to know about coursework and I will also suggest doing some projects in university. The university provides $1000 scholarship per year. I recommend this university for middle-class people. Also, I will strongly recommend students to focus on course work.

My college is very friendly and liberal. The staff are friendly. Would recommend people.
Tips: I did not personally experience any cultural shift. But I have seen people transition a lot after coming to US in general. I Got international student scholarship, every international student gets one. It gets added to your student account, 1000$ each semester. I am satisfied with my overall experience.
Likes (Safety): The campus area is safer, if you choose to live nearby it is safe, as there are police almost all the time. The facilities on campus are good too. I personally do not have any bad experiences in the city as I lived for only 3 months in the beginning and then shifted to another place.
Dislikes (Indian Food): There is no Indian restaurants available in the locality. So there is no option for Indian food. Although there is a place like 2hrs from there which is called St. louis. There you can find plenty of Indian food and restaurants. I prefer cooking for myself.

MS in Nutrition and Exercise Science - Batch of 2024
3.1
Great environment and friendly faculty.
Tips: Before joining university, students should be aware of several key aspects to help them transition smoothly and succeed academically and personally. University life requires balancing classes, assignments, extracurricular activities, and possibly part-time work. Good time management is essential. Understanding budgeting, managing expenses, and possibly handling student loan or part-time job income is important. Familiarity with academic writing, plagiarism policies, and research methods is crucial. Grading differs from previous education systems.
Likes (Public transportation): There is free public transportation in Cape Girardeau, MO. The buses run from 8:00 AM until 4:00 PM, Monday through Friday, making hourly stops at designated locations. The service areas include residential areas, shopping centres, and the local hospital. The service is suspended on major holidays or during hazardous conditions.
Dislikes (Permanent Immigration): There is limited U. S. work or education history and a lack of U. S. sponsor employers or family. Applicants do not qualify for special categories like EB-1 for extraordinary ability, and there are limited immigration points under merit-based systems if assessed that way. There is a lack of job offers and advanced qualifications in high-demand fields.
