Apprehensions about moving to KCMO

Hi, my name is Seevan. I'm 25 and have lived in Kansas all my life, except for the years I spent going to college in Florida. I have been accepted to graduate school at UMKC and it makes sense to move to Missouri to start gaining in-state tuition. I'm embarrassed to say that I really don't know much about the Plaza/Midtown/Downtown areas, being a ( Read more... )

I believe UMKC allows Johnson County residents to receive in state tuiton. Not that that means you shouldn't move, but I do think it's true.
Look here:

Or call the tuition office.

yes, they do. but i would encourage you to live in the city to reduce the travel and such. you could also take the bus and avoid having to pay 95 flippin dollars (or more) a semester to park!

i used to live in a knaack apartment and never had problems. that just varies depending on the exact location of the apartment, though (the way KC is is that one block on a street will be fine but the next block may not be. strange, but i've NEVER had a problem).

i currently live in tax-credit housing downtown and love it (if you're interested i can provide you with the number to my leasing people, too). i walk all over the place all of the time (plus, grocery store very soon!)... i've had no problems here, either, and it would be very easy for you to take the bus to campus (i went to UMKC myself).

and if you wanna chat more since i've lived all over and gone to UMKC the entire time i've lived here, just get in touch :)

I plan to look at Knaack. I'll let you know if I have questions!

That link is specifically for undergrad, yeah, bu I considered applying there for grad school and I recall that in state tuition applied for Johnson, Wyandotte, and Leavenworth counties.

Yep, totally SOL.

Unfortunately the metro rate only applies to undergraduate students, not graduate students. I can only get the Midwest Exchange Rate, which has already been applied to my tuition. If I could get the metro rate, I really probably wouldn't move. But what can you do?
