Scholarships/financial aid, I received tuition covered so I only had to take out like 5000$ in loans for my first year. And it was only about an hour and a half from my home town. Also, their programs at Mizzou are top rated.
Course Curriculum
Wonder, all professors have office hours and if you can?t make them for any reason you can always schedule an appointment with them. They are very flexible and understanding. I have not experienced a professor yet that is not willing to help their student if they are trying in the class.
Exams
I took the ACT, the university level exam I took was similar to act. I am a horrible test taker but along the way, I have figured out how to do better with the help of my professors.
Fees
The fee structure was different, it's hard to explain. However, it is detailed out in your MYZOU account under billing and you can see what you are charged for. Also if you need more clarifying of why you were charged what, they will tell you immediately if you call Mizzou Financial Aid.
Examination Structure
The exam structure is very simple. All of the exams I have taken are fairly simple structures. Usually laid out with multiple choice and maybe a few short answers. However, there are always TAs in there during the exam to help answer any questions about the exam you may have.
Faculty
The faculty at the University of Missouri is very helpful and generous. They all want you to succeed. Again, I have yet to run into a professor that wants you to fail. All the professors are decently easy to talk to and not intimidating to me.
