Columbia, Missouri, is consistently ranked one of the top college towns in the U.S. — and for a good reason.

Located halfway between St. Louis and Kansas City, Columbia combines big-city amenities with the comforts of a smaller community. Here, you’ll find numerous restaurants, entertainment venues, festivals and plenty to explore in the great outdoors, including the MKT Trail and Rock Bridge State Park.

Mizzou Engineering’s primary home, Lafferre Hall, is just steps away from a thriving downtown where you’ll eat, shop, study and play.
