The University of Missouri-Columbia has decided to stop taking applications from potential freshmen for the 2008-09 school year, according to University Business.

Mizzou's freshman class for next year (students who have already been accepted and paid their deposit) has reached a record size of 5,860 incoming students. That's about 850 more than last year. Mizzou decided to close the doors on Monday.

The size of the incoming freshman class will put new stress on the campus dormitory system.
