Review of Mississippi State University

Describe your college in three sentences.

Mississippi State is obviously a football campus, but it doesn't stop there. This campus has a big heart for its students, plenty of opportunities and the chance for a better jump start on your future. The faculty is very hands on and will help with any problem you may have, never be afraid to ask for help because it is their job and they love doing it. Just a bonus, most of them are really fun too and love to make jokes to help entertain when covering some dry material. MSU is so diverse in students, academics and just about anything, they don't just cater to one type of student but to everyone.

Do you have any tips for prospective students?

Go to the events, it really isn't as cheesy as it seems, don't think you're too good for them. You can meet new people and make that 'first day' a whole lot easier on yourself. Go to class, the teachers are amazing and love a good joke, it is obvious they love their job. Most of the people are super friendly and love to talk to anyone!

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

The teachers love to break down the material into a way you will comprehend and relate to. They always answer your questions in the best way they can and will help in any way they can. They love to get to know their students and care about you, over the next few months you are going to want to be their best friend!

Describe the dorm life at your college.

There are so many different opportunities for dorm life, all based on your personal preferences. Big, small, private, open, apartment, hotel types and so much more. They will try and make you as comfortable as possible, they care about your medical problems and will help as much as they can.

Describe the food and dining at your college.

Whether you are on the run or just want to sit down and enjoy a good home cooked meal, MSU has plenty to offer. Inexpensive and always fresh, Mississippi State doesn't let you down in the food department.

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

There is always something going on; club meetings, discussion groups, parties, study groups and so much more. Don't stay locked up in your room, go out meet new people see new things. It will be a day you will never forget.

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

If you do your work and stay on your path MSU loves to reward you for your hard work. There are so many scholarship options to help pay your tuition, and job opportunities to help you earn a little spending money.

Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus

It is very bad luck to buy your own cowbell! A big NO NO. People love to meet at the Perry for breakfast, it's the best!

Which types of students will excel at your college?

Ones who can keep their heads in their books and want to have a good time doing it. Ones who want to try more things and meet new people. MSU is for everybody!

Are you involved in any clubs or activities?

There are over 300 clubs, and if you don't see one you like you can always start your own! Easy as pie, all you need is a president and a name for your club.

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

The cops on hand will walk you back to your dorm if it is too late, they are always a call away and come running if you need them! They are super nice and love saying good morning throughout campus! Plus the dogs are ADORABLE.
