About Student Housing in Kirksville
Kirksville is a small city in Adair County in northeast Missouri, with a population of approximately 17,000 residents. It is home to Truman State University, Missouri's flagship liberal arts public university, and A.T. Still University, the founding institution of osteopathic medicine in the United States. The local economy is anchored by education and healthcare, giving the city a stable employment base and a distinctly academic character. Kirksville sits roughly 100 miles northeast of Columbia, making it one of the more rural settings among Missouri's public universities. Despite its small size, the city offers everyday amenities, an active downtown square, and a strong sense of community shaped by its two universities.
