Review of Alcorn State University

from Natchez, MS

Describe your college in three sentences.

Alcorn is a true academic resort, lying beneath the shade of the great oak trees, to quote our Alma Mater. Alcorn's campus is flourished with vast amounts of these huge pristine trees, making it a true southern paradise. On closer inspection one can observe the highest quality of education being taught by the brilliant and excellent instructors of our university.

Do you have any tips for prospective students?

I would advise prospective students to be active and involved on campus. Do not just go to class, join organizations and develop a network with other students in your field or in your areas of weakness, so that you do not just develop academically but socially as well.

Do you find there’s enough academic rigor at your school?

One of the best advantages about Alcorn is that your classes are relatively smaller than classes at larger schools. This means that you have a better opportunity to meet with your instructor and receive help with objectives you do not fully comprehend.

Describe the dorm life at your college.

The dormitory life at Alcorn is one of the best. The new dormitories include many amenities such as a full size refrigerator, a sink, microwave, and a flat screen. Room assistants also set up social activities with everyone on the floor on different occasions.

Describe the food and dining at your college.

The cafeteria here at Alcorn is buffet style and serves a wide variety of food. There are many different stations for pizza, hamburgers, pasta, etc. However, one thing that will never change is the southern tradition at Alcorn of serving chicken on Wednesday and fish on Friday.

What’s there to do for fun at your college?

There is never a dull moment at Alcorn. The huge plot of grass and oak trees, nicknamed the yard, next to the cafeteria serves as a popular social hangout for Greek organizations, student groups, and barbecuers. There are concerts and parties with big celebrities, like Gucci Mane and Travis Porter, throughout the year that is sponsored by the school.

Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?

At Alcorn you receive a high quality education at a lower price, so there is no need to worry about an enormous student loan debt after college.

Are you involved in any clubs or activities?

Alcorn is home of the Divine 9 African-American fraternities and sororities.

How would you describe campus safety? Do you feel safe on campus?

Alcorn has ccampus police on 24 hour watch. A key card is needed to access dormitories after 11 pm. Campus entrance gates are monitoried 24/7.
