Picking a college/university to attend can be really stressful, I know it was for me. One website ranked the top ten colleges/universities in Missouri and there is one right here in the Tri-States.

Stacker ranked the best of the best when it comes to schools in Missouri and I am not shocked that most of them are in St. Louis and Kansas City. There is one school, however, that made the list that is right here in the Tri-States. Truman University is ranked number nine as being one of the best in the states to attend. So you don't have to travel far to attend one of these ten schools. I thought about attending Truman when I was deciding to pick a school, but for me, another school fit just a little better.

Here is the top ten list of best Missouri Colleges to attend according to Stacker:

• #10 Avila University (KC) Costs around $17,000
• #9 Truman University (Kirksville) Costs around $13,000
• #8 Maryville University (STL) Costs around $29,000
• #7 University of Missouri - Kansas City (KC) Costs around $15,000
• #6 Rockhurst University (KC) Costs around $23,000
• #5 Missouri University Science & Technology (Rolla) Costs around $14,000
• #4 College of the Ozarks (Point Lookout) Costs around $12,000
• #3 University of Missouri (Columbia) Costs around $16,000
• #2 Saint Louis University (Saint Louis) Costs around $31,000
• #1 Washington University in St. Louis (STL) Costs around $27,000

These are all great schools, but I am a little disappointed that my alma mater Northwest Missouri State University is not on this list, it was the best decision I made in life. But no matter where you do where it's one of these top ten schools or somewhere else just enjoy college, it's really y the best four years of your life.
