    When I first walked on the Hinds campus I felt an amazing energy. Growing up i've always felt out of place like i couldn't fit in, but Hinds is a very welcoming college and i feel like i can be myself there. The dorms are absolutely amazing, the housing is affordable, and the dorms are in great condition. The safety of Hinds a is ten out of ten, because the school is located next to a police department. The students are very friendly and the school is very diverse which is the kind of school i had in mind. The food is an A+ at least in my opinion. Im really glad i chose Hinds to continue on in life after high school, because its a great school. And if i had to rate Hinds honestly i'll give it five stars.
