Bang for the buck
To be a private HBCU, the price is very reasonable.
Tips for prospective students
Incomers, when you get here, DON'T GET LAZY. Especially if you are on the Honor's Curriculum. The best way to keep your grades up is through attendance and diligence. If you show the professors that you are willing to work with a positive attitude, they will help you succeed.
Great for these types of students
If you're the type of student that likes to talk to your teachers one on one then I recommend Miles College. The school is very family oriented. The teachers are always there when you need them and if they're not there, feel free to call them and they'll be on their way.!

Miles college is a very religious college. The teachers, counselors, and students are very helpful. I'll give miles a 10 on a scale of 10. It's small but it's as fun as a university. Any college is all about what you make of it. Miles is such a friendly and helpful college. My first year I thought I wasn't going to enjoy it because its small but I LOVE my HBCU !
Tips for prospective students
Stay focused , stay positive and enjoy yourself. If you are having any problems please go to your counselor they are very helpful and will help you to your best ability.
Academic Rigor
Miles College have great teachers and the classes are not that hard if you just apply yourself and talk to your teachers. It doesn't hurt to try your best and you will become a scholar.
Dorm Life
I stayed in Pitts my freshman year and Basd my sophomore year. Pitts have community bathrooms, Bass you and your roommate have your own bathroom. Bass is better than Pitts but their both ate safe. All my neighbors in both dorms were nice. The dormitory workers are nice and friendly plus they will make sure your safe and comfortable.
Food and Dining
I love the cafe especially on chicken render Wednesdays lol. The cafe staff members are friendly and always wear a style. My favorite was ms Liola. They also rewarded us with cake and ice cream randomly just because. They make sure that there's enough HOT food for everyone. There's also the best cave you can purchase food when the cave closes. Great prices and good food.
What to do for fun
Football and basketball games are always fun. I was a cheerleader so of course I enjoyed it.
Greek Life
The Greeks have parties on and off campus that are very fun. I've never went to a part that I didn't enjoy myself.
Campus Safety
24 hour security. Make sure you have a decal because they will boot you lol. Their nice though. Once I needed a jump off and they helped me out. Whenever they think something is about to go down they put the campus on lockdown to keep us students safe.

Miles is a very nice school for academics. Miles is a good place for any student that wants to continue their Matriculation. Miles is an very opportunistic school.
Tips for prospective students
Come here with an open mind. Be very aware of your surroundings and the people whom you meet socially. Take advantage of each opportunity.
Academic Rigor
Academics here are comparable to any school. I wouldn't say that it's too hard or too easy. If you go to class and do what is asked of you. You will excel.
Dorm Life
Dorm life here is growing. We have new buildings being built. We also have off-campus student apartments. The new dormitory will be open Fall 2013.
Food and Dining
Food here is fair. Nothing too much to complain about. But we have a new dining center being built and will be open Fall of 2013.
What to do for fun
We have a new student activity center being built which will be open Fall 2013. The basketball court is very popular for some students. Depending on who you meet you will have a good time.

Miles College is a great institution for students who love one on one teacher participation. I am currently an freshmen and I love the peer tutoring. Miles is a 9 on a scale of 1-10.
Tips for prospective students
I would say get to know your professors. Go to study hours in the library. I would advise you use your time wisely and join as many campus organizations as possible, because they can help you as well.
Academic Rigor
Academics are stressed at Miles College and it is a must that you get in Honors Curriculum.
Dorm Life
I am a male that stays in Murchison Hall. The dorm life is great because you as well as your roommate can re-arrange your room to your liking, so that you guys will be comfortable.
Food and Dining
On campus we have the cafeteria and the Bears Den. They are both great places to eat. They both are not open 24 hours but they are delicious places to dine during the day.
What to do for fun
There are numerous things to do for fun on campus. There are movie nights, game days, and prep rallies. There are many Non-Greek as well as Greek organizations on campus you can join that will always be filled with amazement and fun filled activities. You can join our Student Government Association and they travel all around the country.
