Categories Comments Great for these types of students MC has a good mix of home, private, and public school students coming from as close as two blocks to as far as India. There are also many exchange and non-traditional students. Whoever you are, if you are looking for the top-notch education of a university with the community and personal attention of a college, then MC is a great place to call home.
Tips for prospective students Be sure to visit campus in order to really get a feel for the people and places at MC. Talk to as many people as possible, and do schedule a visit with the chair of the academic discipline you are considering. Also, get to know the admissions counselor for your area. They will go the extra mile to help you, so take advantage of that!
Bang for the buck From its spiritually engaging environment to its focused academics, MC offers a holistic, Christ-centered education that equips its students to make a difference in their workplaces and communities. While a private school, MC is still reasonably priced at around $20,000/yr. Scholarships are available, and with a decent ACT score it is very feasible to reach the institution cap of $9,000/yr.
Am enjoying being here While Tribes and Clubs (MC versions of sororities and fraternities), on-campus ministries, intramurals, and other campus activities foster the close-knit community at MC, the major factor to this family atmosphere is dorm life. The friendships formed in the residence halls are a student's main source of support and camaraderie.
Am learning a lot Small classes and dedicated professors create a dynamic learning environment where students can work together, ask questions, and a get hands-on learning experience. Most professors' have convenient office hours during which students are encouraged to visit their teachers to discuss any problems or questions they may have.

Categories Comments Great for these types of students ones who prefer smaller classes and a better relationship with teachers and peers
Tips for prospective students don't discount this school just because it is affiliated with the baptist denomination. it's very much a neutral christian environment.
Will enjoy being here gorgeous campus with plenty of places (other than dorms) to study. everyone seems to have that southern hospitality that mississippi is notorious for. campus is very spacious, but compact enough that if you have classes on the other side of campus, a 5 minute walk (at most) is sufficient. also, mc has an on-campus infirmary inside the healthplex that is included into your tuition. that means, when you get sick and live quite a ways from home, you can visit here without having to venture off-campus

Categories Comments Great for these types of students Mississippi College is a great cultural blend of every type of person and student. We have people who live right around the corner to people from India and China. And because MC offers so many different activities and clubs you can always find somewhere to connect and plug in. If you are not of the Baptist denomination, don't worry! MC is very open and welcoming to everyone who attends or visits.
Tips for prospective students Be sure to make an appointment to come by and visit the campus yourself. A current student will show you around and tell you more about the campus and campus life. While you're there talk to as many people as you can and see how they feel about MC (they could be a future classmate and friend). Come to campus with a good sense of discipline to get your work done early and on time so that you can excel in school and also enjoy the social side of college! Get to know your admission counselor! They are some great people who know all about MC who would love to get to know you and help you out with any questions you may have.
Bang for the buck Mississippi College makes sure that you can get everything out of your dollar that you are spending to go to this school. They have a health clinic that is free for students with caring physicians, a healthplex which has all kinds of workout equipment for you to use to beat stress, along with basketball courts, aerial track, ping pong tables, pool, sauna, and whirlpool. Other than the campus cafeteria, we also have a coffee and sandwich shop and a grill for when you need a quick pick me up between classes.
Am enjoying being here MC is a very homey campus. It is spacious while also being close-knit so that you can get across campus in less than 10 minutes. With the history that MC carries it is also one of the most beautiful campuses you will ever visit! MC also has several ways for you to plug in and be included some where. Whether it is tribes/clubs (MC versions of fraternities and sororities), on-campus missions/ministries (Baptist Student Union, Lighthouse Ministries, Reformed Union Fellowship), intramural s, academic clubs, international cubs, resident life, and more. There are countless ways for you to get involved and become part of the MC family! :)
Am learning a lot With MC being a smaller university you get the small, almost high school-like class settings which makes it easier to get questions answered, not get lost and drown, and also MC has awesome teachers! All of them are very concerned about your progress and go the extra step to help you out and make sure that you understand. With convenient office hours you can always see your teachers after class to discuss questions, homework or anything else you may need help with. Tutoring sessions are available but if your not the type for that than you can always find fellow students that will gladly help you and some even form study groups.

Categories Comments Great for these types of students southern baptist any ministry english/Literature majors Hebrew/Greek studies Those wishing to attend Seminary
Tips for prospective students Make sure you are able to receive all the scholarships you can! And certainly do not waste your time or the professor's time. The professor's I have had were so dynamic I would have never insulted them with not being prepared.
Bang for the buck It is expensive. There is no way to sugar coat that. I hate the debt I have incurred, but there was no where else I could have gone to have the degree I most desired.
Am enjoying being here I have always felt a great sense of gratitude to be called an MC student. It is a prestigious school and it means something when one states they are attending or in my case graduating MC.
Am learning a lot I have been challenged spiritually as well as emotionally and academically. I have been taught to stand up for myself as well as the importance of forgiveness in my personal life. The professors are outstanding, If one does not leave MC a changed individual - it is their own fault.

Great for these types of students Mississippi College is the perfect University for Christian students.
What to do for fun There isn't much to do but it is always fun to relax on The Quad.
Tips for prospective students If planning on attending Mississippi College be ready and willing to put in alot of hard work.

Categories Comments Campus Safety Campus police will help you with your car if you have trouble. They will take you to your car if it's raining and you're parked far out.
Food and Dining Mississippi College currently has 3 places you can eat at during the day. They are building a 4th place, which will be a 24 hour restaurant for people who study late and miss meals because of class.

Academic Rigor Their academics are amazing, the teachers will help you succeed in life. There's many places to study and it is very peaceful.
Tips for prospective students Mississippi College will be a great place to interact and make a difference with people who are just like you.
In three sentences I will give Mississippi College a 9 out of 10. They're friendly and nice to everyone, and they actually help you with anything you need to get more money for tuition and fees. Overall great college.

Categories Comments Campus Safety fantastic security. Campus security are always circling the school all hours of the day.
Greek Life No Greek life. Tribes instead of fraturnities and surotities.
Clubs and Activities Clubs and tribes are extremly popular. The music department has incredible traditons and choruses. alot of oppurtunities for club involvement.
Great for these types of students Great for christian students, who do not mind a small campus.
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus During christmas time the school has a tradition of lighting the quad. The quad is filled with lights, christmas decorations, and goodies.
Bang for the buck The school is an expensive private school ,but you get your money's worth.
What to do for fun sports activities, clubs and tribes, and alot of community actvities.
Food and Dining The cafeteria is always full of nice options. Food is cooked to order and always fresh.
Dorm Life Dorms differ from being excellent and top notch to just ok ,but still not terrible.

Categories Comments Campus Safety According to a Scout I spoke to on my campus visit, the campus is very safe and security circles the campus 24 hrs a day.
Greek Life Mississippi College's social tribes (for females) and service clubs (for males) are their form of Greek life.
Great for these types of students I totally recommend Mississippi College to any student who would enjoy mixing academics with christian studies and who also enjoys a medium-sized college within city limits.
Tips for prospective students File for the FAFSA early January of your Senior year in high school to be sure the college can determine your finacial need; plus keep your grades up and take the ACT as many times as needed (Mississippi College takes your highest ACT score no matter how many times taken up to date of enrollment) to be considered for scholarships.
In three sentences MC has provided me with a perfect view of what it would be like to be a student of the college. The personalized campus visit I had on Friday, October 5 was well organized and everything was well accounted for. I especially commend their visit coordinator and MC Scouts for making my visit as enjoyable as possible.

Categories Comments Greek Life none
What to do for fun Clinton is a small town, so those who come from a larger town are very unimpressed with the lack of things to do at MC. However, the Campus Activities Board plans many events and students travel to Jackson (15-20 min away).
Food and Dining MC has plans for new dining. Many students complain of repetition of dining choices, but overall the students do enjoy the food. More health options are needed. Sadly, the cafeteria has NOT always had a health inspection rating of an A during my stay at MC.
Dorm Life Dorms overall are very nice and some have undergone recent renovations. As of lately, most all students are required to live on campus due to financial setbacks of college. Those who wish to live off-campus are those who live with local family, those who were pre-approved before last year, and those who forfeit their financial scholarships.
Academic Rigor The academic rigor varies from department to department.
Tips for prospective students Instead of just looking at MC as a whole, get to know the students and professors in your department of interest. Your experience at MC will be highly based on the curriculum and benefits of your major's department. See how that will be beneficial to you. Talk to current students when visiting.
In three sentences Mississippi College has a strong focus in medical sciences and Christian faith based curriculum. The school benefits as a small community but lacks for experience and opportunity for its small size. Scholarship opportunities have been poor in past and seems to currently have some financial problems, thus making its majority live on campus.

Categories Comments What to do for fun There are a lot of things to do for fun. They have fun things like beach volleyball,Football, basketball, and greek life.
Food and Dining MC has the best food ever! They have chiefs their in the cafeteria where you have different type of food to choose from. They also have cafe on their campus and they has a subway restaurant. So they food and dining is off the charts.
Dorm Life When i toured at MC I loved their dorm. Its like your own room you get to decorate it and make it your own style. You also have your own bathroom and your own personal space its not crowded at all!
Academic Rigor Mississippi college has a good education facility. I know a lot of people there that graduate from MC that went far in life. They were bosses in their companies, Top teachers of the year, and head nurses,so therefore, MC has a promising future for anyone who goes there.
Tips for prospective students If you are an prospective student, my tip for you is to check it out. You have to visit it to see if it fit your type of lifestyle. You can also sit in on classes and walk in dorm rooms to see if it is right for you, not anyone else!
In three sentences Mississippi College is an excellent school. Its very open and willing to give you a good education. Most importantly its not like most campus, they make you feel like you are with your family!

Categories Comments Food and Dining There is a wide variety of food choices; regular meal, sandwiches, pizza, burger and fries, salad bar, and dessert bar.
Dorm Life The dorms are medium sized; room and closet are relatively spacious, but, the shower is a bit small.
Tips for prospective students There is a soft cap on scholarships; I believe $12,000. The only way to raise it is through higher SAT and ACT scores. This is definitely something to check while researching MC.
In three sentences This school is more affordable than most private schools and has a strong Christian environment. The small classes and comfortable atmosphere make it suitable for many types of students.

Categories Comments Campus Safety Security is always present. And if they are they are easily accessible by phone. They are generally aware of what is going on on campus and very involved and protective of students especially females or those with disabilities.
Great for these types of students Introverts, or people who are really mission minded.
Bang for the buck The professors are invested, and you definitely get what you pay for academic wise.
What to do for fun ???? Invest in the community around you.
Food and Dining Depends on the day
Dorm Life Dorms are okay, but they have taken a no moving off campus stance that is unappealing to most students
Academic Rigor You get what you pay for in most classes. There is no faking your way through a class.
Tips for prospective students There is a life outside of MC. MC students tend to fall into living in a bubble of sorts, so it is important to be involved and remember there is a life outside of MC.
In three sentences It's easy to get too involved or to disappear all together, but I wouldn't trade my experience here for anything in the world.
