That second part is my problem too. I don't care for it so I can't really judge it. I've always been more of a general chicken fan and in that, Hong Kong inn is lacking. Maybe cashew is something they do well, who knows. Wish I'd heard that about Alamo when they still had it. I've started going to a little indie theater in joplin with a great food menu. Will have to see if they have cashew chicken.

I'm sure everyone will have differing experiences. Always locking my door would be a culture shock to me as well.

As someone who works and socializes with international staff and students at msu I feel confident in saying they'll be okay. Crime generally isn't as bad as those studies show here unless you're a part of it by choice and the op is moving into an environment where they'll have lots of support and fellow international students to help them learn their way around.

It is usually general trivia, but the last Monday of the month is usually a theme night. The theme for this month is Christmas Movies and will be on the 19th due to the holidays.

SCAM!!!! The part about "needing to accept your debit card"...for SURE a scam. And if Quantum/Brightspeed isn't in your area then a definite scam. Quantum/Brightspeed was installed by CU so if you can't get that then the guy was trying to just get your numbers to go on a shopping spree.

You’ll be very safe. Property crime is high, so if you ride a bike, buy a good lock and keep your bike locked or inside. But to be a victim of an actual violent crime(other than SA), it’s unlikely as a student if you’re staying near campus/downtown and being smart. Don’t walk alone at night, even if you’re a guy, and don’t stay out past bar close, if anything try to be home before midnight.

The buses will get you where you need to go.

i actually, and i know others who feel the same, drive the same or better stoned i think because i have less anxiety and i’m more tuned into my surroundings but i’ve never been pulled over and no one’s ever felt unsafe with me driving💀
