Delta State University is a small school where the teachers genuinely care about the education their students earn. Everyone knows everyone, and we are all one big Fighting Okra family. Delta State University is a perfect example of what a university should be like.
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
Get involved on campus. Getting to know people is easier that way. Just sitting in your dorm room won't help you make friends. Study a little every day though. Don't let your social life get the best of you. Go out and have fun, but make sure you make time to study and get your work done.
Do you find there’s enough academic rigor at your school?
My classes are not hard, but if I don't put forth any effort, my grades greatly reflect that.
Describe the dorm life at your college.
Dorm life has it's pros and cons. Being on campus all the time is great when it comes to saving gas and being involved. However, living with a couple hundred people can be stressful. Sometimes when peole are cooking in the dorms, the fire alarms go off in the middle of the night. That is obnoxious. Overall, though, I love living on campus because it makes being involved easier, and I love living in such close proximity to my best friends.
Describe the food and dining at your college.
Cafeteria food is never the best meal in the world. That does not really change no matter where you go. The cafeteria staff is kind, though. In our student union, we have Chik-Fil-A, Burger Studio, a coffee place, and a smoothie place. That is not many choices, but they are all good. I enjoy my dining selection here at Delta State.
What’s there to do for fun at your college?
Cleveland is a small town, but there is always something to do. Since everyone knows everyone, you can pretty much always find friends to hang out with. The typical Thursday night hang out is On The Rocks. There are a few places around town that are good to go hang out or eat.
Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?
I love Delta State University, and I would not trade my education or friends here for anything. My teachers are all wonderful and extremely intelligent. My friends are all different, but we all have our similiarities. My experience here, so far, has been amazing. I would recommend Delta State to anyone and everyone trying to decide on a college.
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus
Our unofficial mascot is the Fighting Okra.
Which types of students will excel at your college?
Delta State is great for any type of student.
Are you involved in any clubs or activities?
The organizations on campus are not like most colleges where they are run by Greeks. Clubs and activities are for everyone.
Are you involved in any clubs or activities?
I am not Greek, but a lot of my friends are. The Greeks don't just stick to their fraternities and sororities. They are very sociable and include everyone who wants to be Greek regardless of what the person looks like or acts like.
How would you describe campus safety? Do you feel safe on campus?
I feel very safe on campus. Campus police patrols 24 hours a day. They are kind to the students and do their best to know us on a more personal level.
