    I finally understand why advising is a "shared responsibility" 🧭

    Samantha, I'm a junior. The "shared responsibility" thing becomes even more important when you're close to graduation. My advisor helped me identify what I still need, but I had to track my own progress, check prerequisites, and make sure I wasn't missing anything. One missing class could delay...

    I thought I'd be the oldest in my class. I was wrong

    This post humbled me. The woman at 55, the guy at 32 — they're not letting age stop them. Why should I? Also: "The first semester is the hardest" is so true. I almost dropped out twice. Then I figured out how to study, how to ask for help, how to manage my time. It got easier. Not easy. Easier...

    The honest truth about Tougaloo from a second-year student

    Alum here (class of 2018). The facilities were old when I was there. Sounds like nothing has changed. But neither has the community. My professors still check on me. I still call one of them for advice. The building might be old. The relationships are not. Thank you for posting this. Prospective...

    How does Millsaps prepare students for med school compared to the giant state schools? 🏥

    The "prestige" argument is backwards for med school. Med schools don't care about your university's football team. They care about: GPA, MCAT, research, clinical experience, letters of recommendation. At a giant school, you're competing with 500 other pre-meds for research spots. At Millsaps...

The Good: The praise for professors is consistent. Words like "amazing," "knowledgeable," and "genuinely concerned...

    How does the Path4 program work for transferring to Ole Miss?

    I'm super interested in Northwest's Path4 program, where you can take Ole Miss classes at the DeSoto center. A freshman review mentioned it, saying it's a great option, but they also noted a big drawback: "I have noticed they don't offer ole miss classes that go with it leaving me stuck on what...

    How is the financial aid office at Northwest? Reviews are scary 😱

    I'm looking at Niche reviews for Northwest Mississippi CC, and the comments about financial aid are worrying me. A senior wrote that the financial aid is "very difficult to work with and is rude." They claimed they applied for scholarships every year but never received any, even when they had...

    What's the campus food really like at Northwest Mississippi CC?

    I'm trying to decide if I should get a meal plan at Northwest. Niche reviews say the average cost is $2,650 per year, but only 50% of students highly rate the dining facilities . That's not a great percentage! One freshman said the school is "excellent at providing both" football and food, but...
