I like Southwest Mississippi Community College. It’s the best a community college can give. It’s getting me through my general courses, and I love it. It’s a small school, so it’s easier to make friends. The classes are small so you can have a bit more 1 on 1 time with teachers if you need it. They have a tutoring program and PLENTY of work-study jobs. It’s a good school for the most part. The only problem is the housing. It takes a long time for anything to get done, but what can you do when all your maintenance staff keeps quitting? I rate this school pretty highly on my list. It’s nice and quiet and has a big lake with ducks always tending to themselves. It’s a beautiful campus. I love it.

It is a great school ! It’s very people friendly and there is always something to do . I feel at home when I come on campus because I know that my teachers are here to guide me , I have wonderful friends beside me , and the learning experience is wonderful!

Overall, SMCC is a good college to attend. There are not as many opportunities as far as internships and clubs since it is a small junior college, but the professors are considerate and willing to help you with anything you ask of them. There are great people here, and they care about the safety of the students. There are geese and duck on the campus, but they won’t hurt you. I enjoyed my time there and I feel amply prepared for life in the real world as well as university life.

Raynold

I am enjoying it! I am an active member of the BSU, and a member of the baseball team, so I stay busy. Great environment! The faculty has been supportive, and wants the best for their students. The campus is really nice and clean. I am glad I chose Southwest to further my education.

    The fall 2020 acceptance rate for Southwest Mississippi Community College is 100%. That means, out of _____ applications received in 2020 , _____ students were offered admission. The number of males who applied was _____ vs the number of females which was _____.

  2. What should every freshman at your school know before they start?

    Wow ! If I could go back and talk to myself as a high school senior, the advice I would give myself would be to slow down, be patient and most definitely train myself in better study habits and ask questions. I have been out of high school only two years and it has flown by. Slowing down and being patient goes hand in hand. When you reach 9th grade, you say: man, if I could only be a Senior....then the Sophomore year comes and again, only two more years and "I'm out of this place"; then, in the blink of an eye, you're walking down that aisle with your cap and gown with your classmates and you wonder how those four high school years passed so quickly. But, the most important advice I would give myself would be to "hit the books" !!! I know now that college is a different world and I wish that I had spent more of my free time reading, studying or getting together with study groups. Note to self as a senior - study, slow down and be patient and ask a ton of questions.

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

    So far, I have not experienced a "worst" thing about my school. The student/teacher ratio is one of the best in the state and the faculty and staff are always willing to lend a hand with anything. The administrative staff, as well as the dean and president, meet & greet most students and call us by name. So, I guess if I had to say the worst thing about my school is the ducks! They sometimes attack students as they walk around the lake going to and from class.
