East Central is a very friendly campus. All of the staff help out as much as they can. East Central is located in a very nice town.
Tips for prospective students
Make your schedule early as soon as scheduling opens to get the class you want. Get to class on time because tardies do add up. Do not be afraid to ask your teacher for help, all of the teachers are very willing to help their students succeed in any way possible.
Academic Rigor
East Central is a great college for students just graduating from high school and as long as students stay committed to doing their work and asking for help when help is needed there is not much difficulty.
Dorm Life
At East Central the dorms are a great place to live. They are clean, orderly and everyone seems to get along really well. The dorm mothers in the girls dorms are very loving and make you feel right at home.
Food and Dining
At East Central, we have the cafeteria and The Grill in the student union. Everyone loves the food at East Central. The cafeteria has a wonderful salad bar and The Grill has sandwiches that taste just like Subway. If you do not have a meal card thats ok, the meals in both places are very affordable.
What to do for fun
East Central has make concerts put on by the Choir and many dances throughout the school year, a mardi gras ball, homecoming dance, etc. The football games at East Central are very enjoyable as well.
Bang for the buck
East Central is one of the most affordable community colleges in MS. Tuition is right around 1000 which is a great deal.
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus
We have a beautiful lake at East Central with a track around it and a beautiful courtyard beside the tennis court. These are very relaxing places to go after a long day of class.
Great for these types of students
East Central is great for students who want to be part of a prestigious band. The Wall O Sound band at East Central is very popular. It is also a great school for students wanting a career in nursing. East Central has a wonderful ADN program.
Clubs and Activities
There is the yearbook staff, newspaper staff, Phi Beta Kappa honor society, Centralettes dance team, Astronomy club and Student body association at East Central.
Greek Life
East Central is a community college so there is not any Greek life on our campus.
Campus Safety
At East Central we have a great system of security guards and officers. They are always patrolling to make sure no one is speeding, for night classes they are always close by the buildings and if you ever need them, they are there within a matter of very few minutes.
