Rust College is a great HBCU. It is a wonderful learning environment and also great for those who does not like huge institutions. Rust College is the school of my dreams because I have always wanted to attend a small but great HBCU.

I would recommend this school to anybody. It is a great way to prepare you for graduate school. Coming to this school would be something you would never regret.
Academic Rigor
Rust College has tremendous Academic programs. Although they do not have hands on training it still is a awesome place to be. Most of Rust College programs are general studies.
Dorm Life
The dorm life here at Rust College is not so bad once you get use to it. However, when you first get here you probably think I'm ready to go home! In some cases you will have to just bare with Rust College.
Food and Dining
The food here at Rust is not to die for. They have the same food in there every week. However, the food do not be nasty, its just that everyone get tired of eating the same thing every week.
What to do for fun
There is not much you can do here for fun. You can go to the gym and hang with your friends, play ball. Also, you can hang in this place called the rec. In there you can watch movies, dance, shoot pool, etc.
Greek Life
There are sororities and fraternities on Rust College campus. In order to pledge here at Rust College you would have to achieve a 2.5 GPA and 29 credit hours.

Rust College is academically challenging even in the summer session and I like that. The teachers/professors are more than competent and possess extensive backgrounds and training in their various disciplines. They seem to do the best they can to make the subject matter relative and interesting. That is appreciated. This is my first term at Rust and I am impressed.
Tips for prospective students
Take advantage of the opportunity to attend a small college like Rust. Here you are sure to get the personalized, professional instruction that is necessary for you to be the best that you can be.
Academic Rigor
Again, Rust is challenging academically. The teaching staff of this institution average PH.D. level and with many years of experience in their field and in the teaching profession.
Dorm Life
Can't vouch for dorm life as I live off campus but that may change in the Fall.
Food and Dining
Excellent, more than adequate dining facilities. When I have the privilege to eat in the cafeteria they always have more than enough and a divers selection. The cost is reasonable for off-campus students free to on-campus students or included in their housing package.
What to do for fun
Holly Springs, MS is a small town with plenty of opportunities to get busy. Memphis, TN is approximately 30 minutes west. Swimming, fishing, Stock car racing, and more.
Bang for the buck
Tuition is affordable. According to the US News, Rust College is one of the 10 least expensive colleges in the United States.

Rust College was founded by the United Methodist Church, so there is a Christian emphasis, with various religious life nearby.
Great for these types of students
I encourage potential minority students to research the history of Rust College and hopefully this will influence your decision to attend a very progressive school of higher learning. If you are of African-American descent you will find acceptance and pre and post bellum sights and museums celebrating Civil Rights achievements and civic contributions made by distinguished African Americans.
Clubs and Activities
All kinds.
Greek Life
Yes, even though Rust College is a Historically Black College, in Northern Mississippi, we have students and teachers of various ethnic backgrounds. Come check us out!
Campus Safety
A full time Security Staff (armed and unarmed) is on and off campus in cooperation with local Sheriff and Holly Springs Police. Plain clothes and uniform for your protection.
