Here's the real list: Actually good: Career Center (resume, mock interviews), Writing Center (real help, not just proofreading), Health Center (cheap for students, just call ahead) Fine but crowded: Counseling Center (good if you can get in, wait times are long) Skip: The "academic coaching"...

I did the reverse (State to Holmes for a summer class) and learned a lot about how the system works. The articulation agreement is between the schools but individual departments have their own rules. For example, the English department at State might accept a Holmes composition class, but the...

The transfer process was smooth for me because I did two things: 1. I declared my major early. Even though I wasn't technically in the program, I told my advisor "I'm going to USM for business." She gave me the USM business transfer guide. I followed it exactly. 2. I took extra classes. I had...

Derek, I transferred from California and I thought I'd made a huge mistake. Nothing felt familiar. The accents, the weather, the pace. I'm a junior now and I can't imagine being anywhere else. What changed? I stopped trying to make friends overnight and just started saying yes to things. Someone...

I’ll be the realist: the “financial need” part of HELP is no joke. My ACT was 31, GPA 3.7, but my EFC was too high so I got MESG instead of HELP. Still grateful but yeah. MTAG is the easiest $500–$1000 you’ll ever get—literally everyone I know with a pulse got it. Also for the nursing one, my...

When I first started at MSU, I thought advising meant someone would tell me what classes to take and I'd just follow along. But the catalog says something different: "Advising at Georgia College is a shared responsibility between students and advisors" . Wait, that's Georgia College, but I found...

I found out about the Center for Academic Excellence at MSU and their mission is to work with "all MSU students – especially incoming freshmen" to assure a "smooth transition to the university and success on their road to graduation" . They offer services, programs, and resources that: "assist...

I met with an advisor at the University Academic Advising Center and she recommended I take *"15-18 hours each fall and spring semester"* with careful consideration of courses required in my "majors of interest" . That seems like a lot! I thought 12-15 was normal. The advisor explained that...

I came into MSU as "undeclared" because I have no idea what I want to do. My friend told me about the University Academic Advising Center (UAAC) for students like me who have "competing interests in more than one major area" or are "uncertain of their career and educational goals" . Apparently...
