REVIEWS
Read What Students Are SayingHinds offers alot of great programs, and the instructors they have are very experienced in the fields. The information builds off of each lesson learned, so they make it easier to remember.
Ja'Teria from Jackson, MS
Depending on what classes [topic, honors/nonhonors, specific teachers], there's no reason to down the curriculum just because it's a bargain school. The work is just as solid as a large university.
Ashley from Brookhaven, MS
hinds community college is a wonderul place to gain an education and life-long lessons that help to nurish the person you wish to become. hinds has taught me so much and has made my learning experience a great one. here is where you enter as a student and become part of a great family on this campus.
Hinds has allowed me to participate in some excellent programs I might have missed out on at a four-year university. This past year, I participated in a study tour in the United Kingdom. The unique part of the trip was staying with host families whose children attend our sister college, Bridgwater. It was an amazing experience.
