You're nitpicking what I'm saying. I mean most people who will consume pot already do.

Well for one, many medical consumers don’t smoke and cannabis consumption isn’t just smoking. Most doctors, if they recommend it, suggest edibles over smoking as obviously that’s healthier. Anyways I get your point, there are just a lot of misconceptions about medical use.

It is still most likely true heuristically. I am glad it helped you but I'm replying relative to the question in OP. It won't really change much for most people. A majority of people who will smoke already smoked.

I don't smoke either. Im just SoberWithJennifer

For anyone looking in the future, almost no one at Drury pays full tution. Nearly every student gets robust scholarships outside or through the school.

Get good grades, save $1000/semester probably more.

Yes. Luco’s was good. Arris is another I agree with. I need to try Garbos

My understanding is that it was originally affiliated with the Disciples of Christ churches.

The wings are better than any quick pizza place for sure

Yeah it shut down a while back. I think they were having staffing problems. They were rarely open and when they were the place was filthy. For a while they had a sign saying it was “temporarily closed” but now it is forever closed

Love Billiards! Need to check that out!

I always love this question for a few reasons. I'm not from Springfield, but I moved here for college 13 years ago and have called it home ever since. I love it.

When I moved here, EVERYONE always "this is a college town" and I only thought people ate, slept, and breathed Missouri State. The entire 4 years I was in school, I never heard a word about Evangel or Drury. I worked at Bass Pro for 5 years. Never met anyone from Drury or Evangel there either.

I even went to Drury's Halloween parties twice. Never knew a soul (had a BLAST both times).

Anyway...

9 years post-grad and honestly I don't know a single "local" who k or cares a single thing about any if the colleges around here. I try to be involved with MSU as an alum but even I don't know or care about much of anything pertaining to it.

So, having that perspective on me, I still personally know very little about Drury or its culture aside from the fact that it's private and has a beautiful campus. I've PoGo'd there many times over the years. Aside from that? Yep... I know nothing.

Not today officer

I did my masters at Drury and undergrad at MSU. I liked it a lot as a school and wish I had done my undergrad there too in hindsight. My brother did his undergrad there and absolutely loved the program and lived on campus all 4 years and had a good time. My only other thought is that maybe because of its size it does feel like its own world compared to the other colleges. The Drury students partied together and rarely ventured out downtown to the bars from what I ever knew.

Yes. I remember when I experienced it all the way back in 2009. Had a friend that would not shut the fuck up about Shakespeare's pizza in Columbia.

That's not too much to ask for bro, I hope you find a friend . if you're online, video games whatever, HMU I'm cool AF dawg .

I went to summerscape as a gifted kid, which was Dury's summer camp thing for middle school kids to take college-style mini classes and stay in the dorms.

That was really fun and I was heartbroken that I couldn't go to DLA (the high school equivalent) due to money.

Overall their summer progrms gave me a very positive perception of the school.

I honestly wanted to apply to go there for real, but cost wise it was just too much and the programs were too limited. I ended up with nearly a full ride in scholarships to MSU instead.

I had my first trip I think september or october! Happy tripping!😇

That was very deep, you must be high!

Like a fun person who can match my energy or chilling is cool too like just chatting or watching a show/movie

I legit just chomped my first bite of shrooms as I opened up reddit and saw this. Let's rage! :)

There is no practical affiliation with religion outside of it historically being religiously affiliated. As someone who went there, any religious aspect is purely historical. Maybe it's a tad more welcoming to religious folk who want a secular education, but while they still acknowledge that background it plays no impact in the curriculum or teaching.

It's easy finding people who want the highs, but when you find someone willing to share in the lows is when you've found a true friend.

Luco's closed a couple of months ago. Plans to be a food truck.

Try Garbo's Pizza in Chesterfield Village.

St Louis style thin crust with provel. If you like Imos you will probably dig this place. I prefer St Louis style pizza and this one is on my short list.

I'd also suggest Arris Pizza if you like greek pizza and gyros.

Good pizza places exist, you just have to find all of the local ones and try them and be okay when you don't like a place.

Yes I forgot to mention their Architecture and Business school! Thank you for pointing that out. I agree wholeheartedly about the STEM programs
