I believe anyone could/should attend this school . The University of Southern Miss specializes in many majors, and it is a wonderful college with broad studies. The only area I know they do not cover is Engineering. However, everyone should go to college so I would not discourage any type of person from going to USM.

The person who shouldn't attend this school possesses a lack of work ethic. USM is a fun, yet highly competitive campus.

Someone who is not willing to try to obtain a degree. Determination and motivation are important! When it all boils down, academics are supposed to be one's first priority and education is the whole reason for the university to exist at all.

The type of person that shouldn't attend this school would be unambitious, lazy and closed minded. Most of the students here have big goals, big dreams, and plans for their future which is why they are attending a 4-year University. Being unambitious would deffinitely make you different than the normal crowd. Laziness won't help you at all here since what we are in college to do is to learn, you should like what you are learning and appreciate it. Lastly, a close minded person should not come here because most of our students are very open minded.

liberal, non-social

As with any other college, those who believe their workload/responsibilities will be similar to that of their high school career will have problems. Though USM isn't the most vigorous of academic environments, it isn't a walk in the park either, and in order to do well, you have to stay on top of your studying and have good time management skills. Also, people who are looking for a really diverse, yet unified student body may be a little taken aback if they come to Southern Miss because there isn't a lot of interracial interaction between students.
