Mississippi College Review
The university has an exceptional curriculum which is also includes faith as a Christian university. The lecturers are approachable, committed and involved in the learning process by guiding students along the path. The university also provides a wide range of activities, sports and clubs in which you can be involved on campus and also provides support for all areas even as simple as creative writing centers. I have enjoyed my experience thus far.
Tolerable
The university needs a lot of work, but overtime you eventually settle. The website photos are not trustworthy and communication between staff is poor. The best highlight is the academics. The professors, mostly, do their job and try to explain concepts properly.
