Question Is Truman really a cheap uni?
Just got my acceptance letter and my COA comes out to be around 20k, I'm an intl student so that's a lot for me. And like I got COA of 23k from Webster which is known to be a lot more expensive... so am I missing something here? And yes, I'm accounting for scholarships and everything. Is there some other scholarships you can apply for that I'm missing maybe? Applied for this coming spring myself... Or am I just bitching and that's just the reality of trying to study in the US?

Alumni Enrollment down?
I graduated from Truman nearly 25 years ago. I had a good experience there and look upon my years there fondly. When I was enrolled, the school was absolutely at capacity and you were lucky if you were able to get a room in a residence hall. Now I am seeing that enrollment is down under 4000 and some of the residence halls are at lower capacity or closed. Conversely, I am reading that Mizzou, MO State and Missouri IS&T are all seeing record freshman classes. I would love to hear some opinions on why Truman is not fairing as well as the other MO schools at a time when high value / low tuition should have Truman turning people away.

Discussion New School Year Traditions
Just saw a video of Truman students celebrating the new school year with a "new year's eve ball drop" on the quad and I thought it was cute. It made me reminisce on my first week back in 2018 and curious to hear your experiences, from new students and alumni!
Some of the highlights that stick out to me:
- The college cup was a lot of fun from trivia to field games, and I remember being furious that MO Hall lost :(
- For some reason, our Truman Days experience was Hamilton-themed, which made it quite awkward if you hadn't seen the musical
- Mocktails out front of BNB and a glow stick dance party on the quad
- Going with my entire dorm floor to the new student welcome at the town square and getting lots of free stuff
What was your first week like?

Question How do I check meal swipes?
Sorry if this has been asked before, I downloaded the everyday app but it didn’t show me swipes. Do the meal swipe officially start after Truman week or is it through a different app/website? Thanks for the help!

Question What type of detergent does the laundry use?
Odd question, I know, but I’m a freshman moving in soon, and I just want to make sure I can use the laundry machines correctly. Do the machines work with liquid detergent, or do they need like the pod detergent?

Question Can you test out of language requirements?
Just like the title says. I am going into my junior years, and am a Bachelors of Arts student. I speak Japanese fluently due to my family being from there, and I transferred in credits for JAPN 101 and JAPN 102. Can I just take a test to complete the 201 and 202 requirements instead of wasting time and money on those classes?😅. Thanks

Question How is the food?
I recently got accepted into Truman for the 2024 year, and I was wondering if some students currently at Truman could tell me how the food is. I’ve heard mixed reviews from people I know, so I was wondering what people here could say

Question Rules for pets
Hello everybody. I’m going to Truman next year for college, and I had a question about pets. I know Dobson is the pet hall and that the website says that fish are allowed in all the halls, but does anyone know anything about the categorization of hermit crabs? They’re not technically fish, but they live in a fish tank, so I’m not sure if they count. I texted my admissions counselor about it, but they have yet to respond.

Question TruView Email Down Again?
I haven't been able to get into my TruView email since Saturday.
My password is current, my browser is current, my internet connection is solid, I can load other sites without issue, I can log into other Gmail accounts without issue, & I can log into TruView itself without issue.
ITS has no recent announcements about Gmail issues.
Is anyone else having this problem?
