My overall opinion of Holmes Jr college is it is great for someone who is looking to come to school and not looking for any other excitement here on campus. I am student who has joined the few clubs offered here on campus that is appealing for me , such as; student government, mosiacs and i even took the time to start up my own organization. The class size is on the average size which is great for me because i feel more in touch to what my instructors are teaching. Ive never had a problem were i am unable to reach my instructors if i have a question, whether that be through email or visiting them during there office hours. I am not to fund of the selection choice of food but it is do able, there aren't many places to visit as we are in a rural area so you would have to travel several miles for entertainment and restaurants. We don't have class on Fridays which is great for me but then again that's just my opinion. I do hate the fact that we cant stay on campus during the weekend because to me that's just weird and sometime it is a bit of a inconvenience with the constant back and forth. Overall, I love it here .

Holmes Community College was a last minute decision, and to be honest it was the best decision I made. Holmes welcomed me with helpful staffs like advisers that make sure that I had the right credential necessary for graduation. The teachers always helped me with any situation I came upon, and would not leave until I understood it or until the problem was solved. The student body really make Holmes a wonderful environment to be in with the different type of outgoing personalities, friendly conversation and polite manners. Not only does the dedicated faculty and friendly students make Holmes a great college, but the resources, clubs, and course formats make it even better.

Holmes is a good school. Most professors are really concerned about their students. However, there are a lot of things that could be improved. For instance, the meal plan is not all that great. For $800.00 we should be getting more than mediocre food. The dorms are decent. However, there are times when the A.C goes out, and I'm sleeping in a sweltering hot room. When that's the case, I don't get much sleep. Overall, I love my school. I really do. It has helped me grow a lot. I've met a lot of good friends there. I just wish they would execute things a little better.

  9. Here's your chance: Say anything about your college!

    It is smaller and more intimate than other community colleges. It is a small campus yet it is spread open but not too much. Classes are smaller and you can get more time with teachers than other community colleges allow. I go to the Ridgeland campus and it is quite nice.

  14. What do you consider the worst thing about your school? Why?

    Since I am on the Ridgeland campus of Holmes Community College, the worst part is the lack of food options on campus. The student union has a kitchen and counter, however, there isn't food sold there. The college is slowly working towards offering more on campus food options. There are food trucks that come by every day of the week and sell local food for $6 or less. It would be great though if the student union also offered food.
