Review of University of Southern Mississippi

from Slidell, LA

Do you feel you’re learning a lot?

The Professors here are really dedicated to making sure the students understand the material. The classes are fun and easy to get to.

Do you enjoy the experience at your school?

One of the best things about this school is the students. There is always something going on, especially around game time. Friday Night At the Fountain (FNATF) is one of the best. Golden Eagle Welcome Week (GEWW) is another that is focused on freshmen and transfer students to help the transition to Southern Miss great; you also get to paint the Eagle Walk. But other than that, the students are nice and someone is always willing to help if you need it.

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

It's a tad expensive if you're not a Mississippi resident or didn't get the out of state fee wavered. But it's worth it no matter how expensive it can be.

Do you have any tips for prospective students?

Buy your books after classes start if you can; some classes use different books than listed, or just wont use them. Attend the football games, FNATF, and Eagle Walk before the game starts. You don't want to miss out on the excitement.

Which types of students will excel at your college?

Those who want to pursue a career in music, who love small campuses, and those who want to be part of a crazy fan base.
