Chelsea from Hazelwood, MO
Nursing school is great. For a state school there is a lot of stuff that could be much better! Cashiers office messed up my bill for the semester and thought it was acceptable to charge me over $800 a month into the semester!
UMSL is a very positive environment with very helpful and friendly people. UMSL's science research facilities are one of the top ten in the country. UMSL has ratios of teachers to students at a 1 to 23, in other words, the average class is 23 students.
