If you want to attend a school that will be of assistance to you in any way, Alcorn State University is the place to be/
Imara from Sontag, MS
It gets lonely here sometime so disobeying the rules is likely. Do your best to follow rules here or anywhere.
Brezelle from Greenville, MS
Come and experience a good time at our school you will really enjoy it.
denzel from Ruleville, MS
I would like to tell all prospective students to go to Alcorn focused on their goals. This simply means to have fun but not too much fun where you won't be able to achieve your goal that was set before attending Alcorn.
Arthaya
I would advise prospective students to be active and involved on campus. Do not just go to class, join organizations and develop a network with other students in your field or in your areas of weakness, so that you do not just develop academically but socially as well.
