Mississippi State feels like home. There are plenty of ways to get involved and help is available to those that need it. The teachers ensure that the students are getting the necessary information needed to excel in the class and apply it to his/her career.
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
My tip to prospective students is to apply for as many scholarships as possible and join at least one club once you get here. Also, parking is terrible so if you have a car, prepare yourself to be at least 30min-1Hr early for class just to get a good park; and if you don't have a car, that might actually be better for you since the shuttles run just about everywhere.
Do you find there’s enough academic rigor at your school?
The engineering department is very challenging, yet rewarding. You must study and stay focused.
Describe the dorm life at your college.
I stayed in Cresswell (Community Showers, Co-Ed) and it was very clean. Pick a roommate with similar study habits as yours and decorate your space so that it is inviting and comfortable.
Describe the food and dining at your college.
The Perry has good quality food. Everyone loves Fried Chicken Wednesday. We also have a food court in the union and there is a brand new cafeteria on campus.
What’s there to do for fun at your college?
Join clubs and organizations. There is always something going on around campus and the night life isn't too bad either.
Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?
Even after you are accepted, each department offers scholarships that you might be eligible for. So if you do not get a full academic or athletic scholarship, keep yourself updated with your department because they usually receive sponsorship and funding as well.
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus
Get a cowbell decorate your cowbell, and continue to pass it down from generation to generation.
Which types of students will excel at your college?
Mississippi State University is great for students interested in Engineering or any technical field. Though they offer several different majors, the Engineering department is widely known for their abundant resources and co-op/internship programs.
Are you involved in any clubs or activities?
Before you go Greek, make sure your GPA is at least a 3.0 or above. Joining a Greek organization can be time consuming so prioritize and don't slack on your school work.
How would you describe campus safety? Do you feel safe on campus?
The campus is very safe. If you are a Freshman, take a few days before classes start to familiarize yourself with the campus and the buildings most of your classes will be in.
