Review of Blue Mountain Christian University

from Southaven, MS

Describe your college in three sentences.

This is the ideal college for students desiring a close knit college community and desiring to receive a Christ-based education. Strong programs in education and ministry make BMC the ideal place for one seeking a degree in those fields.

Do you have any tips for prospective students?

Students definitely need to get involved through the BSU, societies, or even clubs based on their major. Never be afraid to speak to somebody; you'll more than likely walk away with a new friend! Do not be afraid to ask your professors for help. Most are very caring and understanding and desire for students to succeed. Always remember your experience at BMC is what you make it (=

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

My major, elementary education, has a very challenging course load, but I have no doubt I will be a well prepared educator upon graduation. The professors definitely have knowledge on the subjects they teach and unlike other universities, they genuinely care and desire to see students succeed.

Describe the dorm life at your college.

Stevens is definitely the better of the two female dorms. It is more modern and the dorms have an extra room which is used as a study room. Whitfield, however, feels more close knit. There are always people hanging out in the parlors and they are very welcoming.

Describe the food and dining at your college.

The quality of the food served varies by the day, but overall, not bad choices. For students desiring something other than the main course or vegetarian/vegan options, there is a pizza bar, Panini maker, and salad/fruit bar.

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

Society rush nights/pledge nights in the fall are tons of fun. Each society has a fun night planned for the girls/guys and it's a memorable experience one remembers throughout his/her time at BMC. Pledge night allows the females to dress up and pick their society which becomes a sisterhood and close knit group of close friends! Basketball games are where most of the student body is when BMC is playing at home. The student section is one of the best places to sit. The student body has no problem showing their Topper pride!

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

BMC offers the students the opportunity to attend a private institution with Christian values for about the same amount as a public university. It is a great bargain and one cannot put a price on the opportunity to attend/the experiences one has at BMC!

Which types of students will excel at your college?

Students pursuing a career in ministry/education

Are you involved in any clubs or activities?

Variety of majors are offered for students, but the top notch programs are the ministry program and education.

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

I have never felt unsafe here. The security officers are super nice and go above and beyond. They are even there when you lock the keys in your car (=
