Review of UMKC

I don't normally write reviews for places outside of retail and food; however, I happened to come across an anonymous review circa 2012 that really raised ire in me as a current student of the university.
I am a father of an almost two year old. I have a girlfriend who works just under part time. I had my own business performing massage therapy. I still made a 4.0. Why? It's easy to explain:
I was in class (on time) every day and made it known to the professors that I didn't just want to pass the course, I wanted my A's. If I missed class to attend to my daughter, I would receive an email from the professor THAT DAY with what we covered and any assignments that were given. When I needed help in Discrete Mathematics, the math resource center was quick to pair me with a graduate student and make sure that I received the help I needed.
UMKC wants you to succeed and your professors want you to do splendidly... but you have to want to DO THE WORK. Judge the school on its merits just as it judged you on yours.
