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.
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.
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.
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!
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.

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.
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! :)
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.
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.
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.

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.
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.
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.
Greek Life
Mississippi College's social tribes (for females) and service clubs (for males) are their form of Greek life.
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.

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!
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.
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!
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.
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.
