Am learning a lot
Hinds offers alot of great programs, and the instructors they have are very experienced in the fields. The information builds off of each lesson learned, so they make it easier to remember.
Am enjoying being here
Hinds is not a big campus, but there are activities that go on throughout the year that keep students involved. I stay on the campus so we get excited about everything that goes on so we can have something to keep us occupied.
Bang for the buck
For anyone attending Hinds, it would be a great financial decision. It's a cheaper route especially if a student is just beginnig their college experience.
Tips for prospective students
Hinds is a good school with even better teachers. It's not very big but there is so much help around the campus and it's plenty of other students there to help ease the tension of being in school.
Great for these types of students
This is the school for those students who want to build their gpa's and adjust to college life before actually venturing into a university.

Am learning a lot
Depending on what classes [topic, honors/nonhonors, specific teachers], there's no reason to down the curriculum just because it's a bargain school. The work is just as solid as a large university.
Am enjoying being here
The student body is fairly friendly, the faculty is usually amazing, but it's not a large university and there is no party scene. A lot of people commute, and the campus is dead on the weekends.
Bang for the buck
If you're looking to save money, I can't think of better advice than to tell you to go to Hinds. I got money back.
Tips for prospective students
DO join the Honors Program, get as involved as you can. DO take challenging classes.
Great for these types of students
Technical students, medical-field majors, people nearby who can commute, anyone trying to save some money on college.

Am learning a lot
Hinds has allowed me to participate in some excellent programs I might have missed out on at a four-year university. This past year, I participated in a study tour in the United Kingdom. The unique part of the trip was staying with host families whose children attend our sister college, Bridgwater. It was an amazing experience.
Am enjoying being here
I have thoroughly enjoyed my time at Hinds these past two years. I participated in band, choir, and the Honors Program. All of them have been excellent and have allowed me to make new friends.
Bang for the buck
Hinds is definitely bang for the buck. It is the economical choice to getting an great higher education that equals the four-year universities.
Tips for prospective students
Prospective students should get involved in any way they can to gain the best college experience. Participate in intramural sports or the band or Honors Program. Everyone at Hinds is very welcoming and helpful, so just ask around and you will find what you need.
Great for these types of students
Hinds is really great for students who want a great education without breaking the bank. The school has contracts with almost all of the four-year universities in Mississippi for two-plus-two degree programs. It is also great if you're looking for a school that is close to home and has a fair sized campus.
