SMSU is a college with a small town feel. It is a safe environment and the classes teach you valuable skills for your intended career path. Overall, SMSU is a good college to be at.

Very nice campus along with nice facilities. The people there are very friendly and helpful. Small college atmosphere so its nice to know most of the people around you.

The staff are very friendly. The class sizes are small and easier to learn in. The school is very nice.

It's one of those schools that's easy to get into, easy to get out of, and relatively easy to pay for. You can get a great education here, but you have to be willing to work for it--taking 12 credits of easy classes won't teach you anything. We've got great professors and some really outstanding programs, but again, if you want it to be worth your money, you've got to put in the work.

The layout of the school makes it extremely easy to find you classes and even better is that it is all interconnected so you never have to step outside in the freezing winter. Every faculty member and professor is extremely courteous and prompt with their email response so there is never a moment where you are lost or confused. This school made it easy to feel at home with its many club activities, caring and personable staff, and eager to assist manner.

I'm used to living in a smaller town so I really like the atmosphere of Marshall; wish it was prettier though! The people here are genuine and friendly, and they definitely add to the whole college experience. I like it here, but sometimes it would be nice to be closer to a bigger city.

Been a great experience thus far and I am excited to continue my college education here. Have referred SMSU to other people I know because it is so great.

It's a small campus. You get to know the teachers and kids around you. All the buildings are connected.

It's a small town college with beautiful buildings, a great staff, and wonderfully nice people everywhere. The small classes and great teachers makes it really easy to love the school. Also, all the buildings are connected (not to the dorms) so getting around in winter and rain is really easy!
