Talk about some history here. You run through towards the school on your first day of freshman year. And you runaway out towards the world on your last day. The atmosphere is just wonderful people lounging, people studying, people playing pick up games of football, and some people just playing catch. This is one of my favorite spots on campus.

What the Arch is to St Louis, the columns are to Columbia. With a large open field, the quad is a great place for photos and people watching. It's flanked by historic buildings, including the beautiful Jesse Hall where you'll see beautiful stained glass windows and Thomas Jefferson's original headstone.

One of the most favorite places for me. Las time I was here 15 years ago. This time we were able to visit again with the whole family. Amazing memories. Great time. Well tended and neat place great for walking both in the day and in the night time.

The Mizzou campus overall is beautiful and well landscaped, especially-well done compared to some other campuses in the region. The columns are iconic for Mizzou and I actually didn't know until recently they exist from a previous building that burned down and were left standing (something alone those lines).

We always park near the columns so we can walk through the campus on the way to basketball or football games. There's some stores and restaurants or cafes...

This is the "Quad" for the MU campus. Surrounded by historic academic buildings and the iconic columns in the center it is the centerpiece of the MU campus. They have a nice lawn and wide paths with some appropriate sculpture art around the area. It's a lovely place to picnic or have lunch and people watch the college students going about...
