Mizzou is the heart of Columbia. Though we are a college town, there is something for everyone here. Though most of the excitement is downtown, there is plenty of fun things, from mini-golf to festivals, in the outer parts of the city. One of the best things about Columbia is our celebration of diversity. We have many LGBTQIA+ friendly spaces and are very supportive of all of our minorities. No matter what it is you’re looking for, Columbia has something for everyone.

Columbia maintains connectedness through the parks systems, schools and downtown committee. There is a connection created with all populations. Efforts toward equality and fair treatment for all are everywhere you turn. Outreach groups are available for all whether it be for mental health, financial need, providing food and shelter or even a great group for fair treatment and adoption of animals. There is the Armory, FACES program and the Central Missouri Humane society. Most of Columbia is very pet friendly and allows them in most establishments downtown.
