Columbia is home to the University of Missouri, the state’s flagship campus, along with Stephens College and Columbia College, and the university’s hospitals make the city the largest medical center in mid-Missouri. Insurance and financial services are also important, with Shelter Insurance and Veterans United Home Loans headquartered here. Mizzou’s School of Journalism, founded in 1908 as the first in the world, gives the city a media-savvy streak, and the True/False Film Fest has made Columbia a respected stop on the documentary circuit.
Columbia sits roughly halfway between Kansas City and St. Louis on I-70, a two-hour drive from either and a long trip from anywhere else. Columbia Regional Airport, south of town, lets alumni, recruiters, physicians and visiting faculty fly in directly and avoid the interstate traffic that builds on football weekends. With your own schedule, it is easy to pair a game or a campus visit with a ride on the Katy Trail, dinner in The District downtown or a glass of wine on the Missouri River bluffs at Rocheport.

Things to do in Columbia
When to go. Fall is Columbia’s signature season, with Mizzou football Saturdays and comfortable temperatures for trails and riverside wineries. The True/False Film Fest fills theaters downtown in late winter or early spring, and spring brings blooming campus gardens and graduation weekends. Summers are hot and humid but quieter, a good time for long rides on the Katy Trail. Winters are cold, with occasional snow and ice.
- 01
Memorial Stadium and the Mizzou campus
Mizzou football fills Faurot Field on fall Saturdays, and the campus’s Francis Quadrangle, with its six Ionic columns from the original Academic Hall, is the classic photo stop.

South of town, boardwalks lead to a natural rock bridge and the entrance of the Devil’s Icebox cave system, with trails through woods and karst terrain.
