William Carey University is a great small, Christian university. The U.S. News and World Reports ranked Carey as the number one best valued college in the south. Trust me, they are definitely right about that.
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
If you aren't sure about William Carey or any college for that matter, go and just check it out. You can make a visit to come and tour around campus. I promise when you come though, you are not going to want to leave.
Do you find there’s enough academic rigor at your school?
In the classrooms, the professors challenge you to think, discuss and excel. The academic calendar is based on a trimester. Carey has three, ten week semesters. I enjoy the trimesters because it allows me to take more classes throughout the whole year. Plus, after each semester is done, students get a week off. Isn't that great?
Describe the dorm life at your college.
This is my first time living in a dorm and I absolutely love it. Don't get me wrong, living in a dorm has its ups and downs. The very first week we were having hot water problems. The maintenance workers were willing to fix it, and fix it quickly. I have not had one cold shower anymore. Another great thing about William Carey's dorms is the laundry is free. Most colleges you have to pay to either wash clothes or dry clothes or both. At Carey, they are free!
Describe the food and dining at your college.
Pizza! Every one around campus votes that William Carey has the best pizza ever. If you are like me and don't like to eat pizza all the time, they have other lines you can go to. For desserts, they have a freezer of Blue Bell Ice-cream, cookies, cakes, and a cobbler of some sort. I enjoy the cafeteria food and the atmosphere during breakfast, lunch, and dinner.
What’s there to do for fun at your college?
Carey has a wide span of extracurricular activities for students to do. From Ultimate Frisbee to Jujitsu, there is an organization for anyone and everyone.
Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?
You can not ask less from a private, Christian institution to come down on its tuition. It's a great bang for the buck!

As a Freshman, I don't know the traditions yet. Every one like to hang out at the Common Grounds though
