I was apprehensive about attending Northwest for a couple years because Ole Miss has always been my dream and I wanted to attend all four years of undergrad there. Two years later, I'm so glad I decided to take my prerequisites at NWCC. I did have to work a couple jobs part time, so my schedule was pretty packed. I honestly believe it better prepared me for my life at the University of Mississippi and I feel like I've become more responsible and have a greater appreciation for my education. The classes at NWCC were very informative, as well as the professors and they truly do want you to succeed.

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.
Out of high school i decided to go to a junior college. I chose Northwest Community College and it was the best decision I could have made for myself! It allowed me to get the college life in tiny doses and prepared me for Ole Miss. It provided an easy transition that i would highly recommend to any upcoming high school graduates!
