I always love this question for a few reasons. I'm not from Springfield, but I moved here for college 13 years ago and have called it home ever since. I love it.

When I moved here, EVERYONE always "this is a college town" and I only thought people ate, slept, and breathed Missouri State. The entire 4 years I was in school, I never heard a word about Evangel or Drury. I worked at Bass Pro for 5 years. Never met anyone from Drury or Evangel there either.

I even went to Drury's Halloween parties twice. Never knew a soul (had a BLAST both times).

Anyway...

9 years post-grad and honestly I don't know a single "local" who k or cares a single thing about any if the colleges around here. I try to be involved with MSU as an alum but even I don't know or care about much of anything pertaining to it.

So, having that perspective on me, I still personally know very little about Drury or its culture aside from the fact that it's private and has a beautiful campus. I've PoGo'd there many times over the years. Aside from that? Yep... I know nothing.
