<p>Hi,
At first I was confused, but I googled Missouri S&T to see that it has changed names! When my daughter and I visited, it was the U. of MO at Rolla. Anyway, to answer your question, my daughter chose another college and is not even majoring in engineering now! (Although I sure wish she was! I’m not sure what kind of job opportunities will await an anthropology major!)</p>
<p>At the time we visited, she definitely was put off by the very ugly campus and rural location. I remember that the people were very friendly and welcoming (both staff and students). The dorm rooms we saw were not bad at all. But the campus buildings themselves are quite ugly. The student guide we had was female, although as you say, the school is disproportionately male… which may not be such a bad thing when it comes to socializing! If I am remembering correctly, the student tour guide told us that there are lots of outdoor-type activities close by - maybe a lake/river or state park? It’s hard to remember because it was 2 years ago that we visited.</p>
<p>Sorry I couldn’t be of more help to you. Good luck in the college search process!</p>
