How does Mizzou compare to Missouri Western Currently trying to make the decision between MWSU and Mizzou. I had been personally planning on going to Mizzou for the last couple months but my mom has brought up that it is possible that I could go to MWSU for almost free with my ACT scores. Currently for Mizzou after aid it is looking like I will be owing $58000 after my scholarships. Does Mizzou offer lots that can make attending worth this extra price tag? I live closer to missouri western, about 30 mins away so I wouldn't need to be in dorms first year if I attended there. I personally am really wanting to go to Mizzou but not sure if the price tag is really worth it.
