Since opening its doors in 1870, Missouri University of Science and Technology has firmly established itself as one of the region’s best institutions, specializing in engineering, business, mathematics, and science. The university is nationally ranked in several categories, and is recognized as one of the top doctorate-granting engineering programs in the country. The university also puts a high value on the arts: the Leach Center is a popular stage for theater productions, concerts, and other events, and the campus is well known for its sculptures, including a granite reproduction of Stonehenge.
The community surrounding Missouri S&T is generally fairly quiet. The nearby Downtown area offers the best selection of dining and nightlife, with watering holes like Sidney’s and Public House Brewing Company serving big crowds on the weekends. Apartments, condos, and houses in Rolla tend to be quite affordable, and living within walking distance of the Missouri S&T campus won’t break the bank. Fort Leonard Wood and Mark Twain National Forest are very close at hand, allowing you to get up close and personal with the state’s natural beauty anytime. With St. Louis just two hours to the northeast, a weekend trip to the city is always close at hand.
