    Personally, I love this place. The staff is incredibly welcoming and helpful and there are lots of resources if you need them. The facility is clean and the environment is pleasant for learning or studying. There are also lots of clubs and events to get involved in as well as opportunities like scholarships! Classes, at least the ones I've been in, are small and you can get to know your professors and peers. There are programs for certain majors and plenty of classes to choose from, except some of them may be online instead of at the campus. However, if you're struggling with an online class, M State offers tutoring programs to help you get on your feet, just one of the many helpful services they make available. M State is a wonderful and affordable place to go, and I truly recommend.

    I like the small close-knit school environment, it enables you to get to know your professors one on one, and also gives you that first-hand help with your school work and assignments. Overall my experience at M-State has been a good one and I have no qualms. The teachers are respectful and are willing and open to answering questions (in regards to school work). Students are respectful on our discussion panel boards, which makes the overall experience at the school a great one!
    I am currently an online student there. I really like how they have everything set up for the online classes. I am currently pursuing a degree in Accounting and Payroll Specialist. The teachers there are great and are always available to help you when you are struggling or have any questions. I would definitely recommend this college!
