Northwest Mississippi community College is a junior college that gives local mississippi residents the opportunity to begin their college education without the distance education or expense of a university. While being an affordable option, there are components of Northwest that need to be refined and updated. Some of these components are as follows: better parking for commuter students, increased knowledge and training of advisors to assist students in preparing to transfer to a university, and making the registration process easier for new students. Overall, I had an average experience at Northwest and am happy I chose such an affordable, local option, but would like to see these improvements made for the sake of future students and alumni alike.
My experience here allowed me to adjust to the life of college. The campus was not as grand in size as universities, but the quality of education provided here was not short of any other institution. The atmosphere and culture of campus was great and something that I found easy to adapt to. Northwest prepares you for not only your career/profession, but how to be a family and work together with people from different walks of life. I enjoyed my time there and would encourage anyone to attend Northwest if they were looking for a smooth transition to the college life.
My only experience at Northwest was when I went on a college tour. At first I was iffy about the school, but after the visit, I actually liked it. It's cheaper than starting out at a university and all I'm doing is getting my easy classes out of the way. I feel like I can get to know the teachers freely because its not that many students that attend the school. 6000 students isn't bad, but I feel like I would be able to develop a strong relationship with the teachers and I would be able to get the help I need.
