Senior: Alcorn State University has such a rich history of excellent education and a spirit of family. During my experience, there has been faculty and staff that will encourage you to strive for greatness. Enrich you with knowledge and empower your character to make an impact in your future. What has been most special to me is seeing all cultures and vitality of the campus. Not allowing diversity to be a vicious device, but a woven tapestry of strength and family. For the near future, what would better Alcorn State University, taking full advantage of its rich land. Walking trails, recreational centers that house more media labs an game rooms, and dormitory complexes in anticipation for a growing campus.... Read 735 reviews

Junior: I am a transfer from a community college where I am continuing my education at Jackson State University where I am currently majoring in Communicative Sciences Health and Disorders. I have enjoyed my time so far, the teachers and staff within my major are very productive, punctual, helpful, and direct. They hold their students on a high pedestal to ensure that their students receive the best education to represent Jackson State University. Also, it is great being surrounded by people who can relate to me in many ways!... Read 1,397 reviews

Senior: There are many things I love about southern miss! My personal favorite is the setup of campus - I'm a very directionally challenged individual, and even I could navigate the campus after a short time. The campus offers a variety of places to eat, study, and participate in extracurricular events. My favorite places are the Payne recreation center and the Cook Library. Of course, there are some downsides. I disliked the credit hour cap each semester - why can I take 19 credit hours but not 20? Why do intercession courses count toward the full session? While that has yet (and, hopefully, never will) affected my degree progress, I have had several friends and classmates who took a long time to graduate because they were only allowed to take up to 6 classes a semester. Overall, Southern Miss is an eclectic, affordable, and enjoyable university! I'm grateful for my time here!... Read 1,826 reviews

Alum: I attended the Ridgeland Campus of Holmes Community College. The main campus is located about 45 minutes away in Goodman, Mississippi. Holmes in Ridgeland is a great school. The teachers and employees at the school seem genuinely happy to be working with students of all ages and backgrounds. There is an array of different education opportunities, including trades, provided at the college. Scholarships as well as work-based learning opportunities are available for students, whether first-time or non-traditional. The cafeteria is well-stocked with both hot and cold food options available morning and afternoon. There are vending machines in each building. The campus is beautiful and well maintained. There is landscaping and sidewalks throughout. The offices are easy to find and staffed fully. The professors offer normal office hours and seem to be willing to help. I am proud to be a Holmes Community College Alumni and recommend the school often.... Read 306 reviews

Junior: My college experience here at Mississippi College has been a rollercoaster of growth. My first step onto campus was delightful, and I knew I belonged in an atmosphere like the one Mississippi College offers. God-fearing welcomes you and eventually, it becomes a sort of natural response. Mississippi College is founded on honesty with others and yourself! You will become accustomed to this beautiful way of life and feel transformed on behalf of God and the universities mission. I believe Mississippi College is a choice that would be hard to regret. The teachers put God forth every moment and encourage the students attending to do the same. Academically there's no place like such. Education never ceases to become better and improve on the things that may have been an academic stressor to the students prior. The town is beautiful and safe. There are endless opportunities to find yourself.... Read 616 reviews

Sophomore: I love William Carey University. I have been to three different colleges and can honestly say that there is a difference in the professors and faculty. They love to see their students succeed and cater to our needs quickly. The traditions campus is beautiful and offers multiple commodities like study rooms, library, and a student lounge. The professors are amazing and down to earth. Very willing to help their students and are quick with their responses. I am a BSN RN nursing major and I cannot stress how helpful the class size is compared to a larger university. The small class size encourages students to build relationships with not only our professors, but also other students within our major. Amazing campus!... Read 347 reviews

Freshman: I liked that the community college itself is well organized just like other institutions are having three different campuses of the same college. It's school that is not very expensive and makes a great start to earning any sort of degrees in particular. They also have technical programs that many students can be involved in to have prior experience of working in the field of their desired occupation they want to go for. Colin also works hand to hand with many financially supportive organizations and programs in which they offer a lot of assistance to any student's needs throughout college. Colin also does a lot of community events as well, along with different fairs that would include Job fairs, College fairs, and even Career fairs in which students can learn more about their major in college. In my personal opinion, I believe that Copiah Lincoln Community College is a great place to start when it comes to pursuing a degree and transferring to other schools as well!... Read 224 reviews

Alum: I loved my time at Mississippi Delta. It's a small campus, so it's easier to get to know people. The instructors are willing to work with you and really care about you. They are also very knowledgeable about their subjects. Their website is very easy to navigate, and they use canvas so you can always see your grades and homework assignments. They also host all kinds of activities for students. The campus is nice, and they are currently taking on new building projects to make it even nicer. It is also a very diverse campus with various groups being represented. Not to mention, it is also way cheaper than attending a university. If you live in the area, I recommend anyone considering attending MDCC to attend.... Read 145 reviews

Sophomore: Belhaven University has one of the most unique communities that I have ever seen on a college campus. The professors care about their students and strive to know their students personally so that they are able to support them in their studies. The student body is equally wonderful if you decide to dive into it. Students are excited about getting to know and serve those around them. As a Christian school, many of the students are of the same religion and continue to do their best to show others the love of Christ. I have grown not only in my knowledge of my degree fields but also in my relationship with God and as a person. I cannot imagine going to another school. Belhaven University has become my second home and is more than I ever knew I could pray for.... Read 466 reviews
