Graduate Student: The University of Memphis provided a vast selection of courses, offering diverse perspectives and in-depth explorations of each respective subject. Many of the professors I had the pleasure of learning from were passionate and driven about their area of study, and this translated to a care for their students' academic well-being. Moreover, this often translated to a care for their students' overall well-being. While it cannot be said for everyone, in my personal experience, a majority of the professors and peers I came across were kind and motivated by community advancement. I found, most especially in the courses relative to my English (Creative Writing) major, a community of people who not only sought success and enrichment for themselves but for their peers around them. This continuously inspired me to do the same.... Read 2,214 reviews

Sophomore: Along with a sense of belonging, students who attend colleges with strong communities tend to feel safe in their college environments. Along with feeling physically safe on campus, students feel free to open up to others and ask for assistance when needed, which results in a more enjoyable college experience. Many community colleges offer part-time academic coursework, allowing students to attend college classes a few days per week and still work a full or part-time job. The flexibility community college offers also provides a greater school-life balance. Community colleges have many benefits. These local colleges offer professional certificates and basic courses you can use to replace the first two years of university credits. If the idea of going to a four-year university seems overwhelming, community colleges provide an easier and more cost-effective option.... Read 777 reviews

Sophomore: Based to my personal experience, ASU Midsouth offers students a safe environment and a variety of options to take part in extracurricular activities. In addition, there are a ton of resources available to students, like free tutoring, Chromebooks for rent, and even free food at events and celebrations! There are undoubtedly a lot more things, but these are the ones that come to mind right away. I appreciate how the school offers each student a chance to succeed and how accommodating they are to everyone. The only thing I would change is that I would like every student to be aware of every opportunity that arises, simply because I have noticed that not every student is even aware of the resources available to them on campus to help them during their time at Mid-South....
