Meet Ross Brady, a transfer student from the Lake of the Ozarks!
Ross transferred to Missouri State University from Westminster College and is pursuing a General Studies degree. When asked why Ross chose Missouri State University, Ross said, “I was looking for more. MSU offered more academics and activities around campus.”
Ross expressed that the most challenging part of his transfer experience was adjusting to the size of Missouri State University’s campus. He says, “Finding my classes and learning how to manage my time to get to all of my classes was a challenge at first.”
For Ross, the most enjoyable part of transferring to Missouri State University has been “all of the activities”. Ross is participating in Ultimate Frisbee and intramural sports. Ross says, “There is so much to do! I am never bored.”
That leads to his advice for a new transfer student at Missouri State University, which is to not be scared. Ross says, “Everyone is scared, but don’t let it hold you back from meeting someone or joining a club. Get involved on campus! Also, be willing to fail. People might not want to talk, or a class might not work, but don’t be scared to fail. You’ll never know until you try.”
Ross would like to take this opportunity to give a shoutout to someone who helped him through his transition to Missouri State University: his cousin, Jennifer. Ross says, “Jennifer helped me realize that a big university wasn’t such a bad thing, and that the opportunities are endless.”
