    The college had no process in place for student complaints.

    Hey Martin, thank you for posting this. The Hinds case was horrifying and your point about systemic failure is exactly right. One bad actor is bad. A system with no process for complaints is worse because it lets the bad actor keep going. For anyone reading: your school's Title IX office should...

    How do I access free healthcare at the University of Mississippi?

    I'm a transfer student and had zero idea about any of this. The mental health services info is especially helpful—$25 for first psych visit then free follow-ups is incredible. Private practice would be $200+ each time. One thing to add: the pharmacy on-site is also super convenient. They can...

    Is the food any good at Ole Miss and other Mississippi colleges?

    Okay, this might sound shallow, but the quality of campus food genuinely matters to me. I'm a picky eater and I've heard horror stories about dining halls. One sophomore at Mississippi Valley State wrote: "The dining hall food also wasn't the best, and options were limited." That was one of...

A buddy who plays at Southern Miss told me: "Baseball here is like football in Texas. People live for it." Mississippi State's Dudy...

    How to avoid plagiarism when everything I write sounds like my sources?

    I got my first college paper back and my professor wrote "too close to sources" in the margins. I didn't copy anything word-for-word, but apparently I was still too dependent on how my sources said things. I had a mini panic attack thinking I was going to get accused of plagiarism. My professor...

    How to cite sources in an essay? MLA vs APA is confusing

    I have my first college paper due and I have to cite sources. In high school, we just put the website link at the end. My professor laughed when I did that. Apparently that's not correct. Now I'm trying to figure out MLA and APA and my brain hurts. Here's what I've learned: MLA (used in...

    How to write a thesis statement that actually says something? 🤔

    My TA keeps writing "where's your thesis?" on my essays. I thought my thesis was just... what I'm writing about. Like "this essay is about climate change." Apparently that's not a thesis. I Googled it and found a formula: specific argument + reasons. So not "social media is bad" but "social...
