    What to do for fun

    EMCC has a wide range of activities. One activity that is my favorite is movie night. They have movie night every Wednesday.
    Food and Dining

    Some days, the cafe has excellent food, but I would recommend more food choices. For an example, more vegetables and fruit. Friday is the best day for me because they have fish. Simply Delicious.

    Dorm life is great! A student get to meet and maybe become friends with their roommates. Also, a student get to leave whenever they feel like it.

    Food and Dining

    The food is amazing here at EMCC. the cafertia does a tremendous job letting you know the menu. They take the time to send an e-mail out listing specific foods they will be cooking throughout the entire week. The food is also fresh. The workers cook your food right there in front of you.
    Dorm Life

    I do not life in the dorms so I can not offer any personal detail about that. From what I have heard from other EMCC students that the dorm life is great. There are a lot of people to meet. You get the feel of having your own home and rules.
    Academic Rigor

    The academic rigor at East Mississippi Community College is great. Considering that the school has grown in huge number each year. More and more students are applying every year to get the best college education possible.
    Tips for prospective students

    The best advice I can give is to make sure that you apply for all the scholarships and grants that you are qualified for. You never know if you will recieve anything but it is definitely worth the time and effort that you put into it. Keep in close contact with you counselor, he or she will become your best friend when you have specific questions that you need answered quickly, and I can promise you will have questions.
    In three sentences

    The instructors are absolutely amazing. The financial aid office works deligently to bring you knowledge about scholarships and upcoming grant deadlines. Last but certainly not least the cafteria food is to die for.

    What to do for fun

    Students are allowed to use the old football field and the gym to play sports. Student Activities also hold intramural sports for students.
    Food and Dining

    The cafeteria and the grill in the Student Union are the only two places to eat on campus.
    Dorm Life

    There are many dorms on campus for men and women. However, the best dorms are honors. Though security is tight, they offer a more close-knit community between the students who live in them.
    Academic Rigor

    The academic rigor pertains to your major at EMCC like at any college. However, the electives you may choose are amazing. My Volleyball/Tennis class was a treat for my first semester of college.
    Tips for prospective students

    Prospective students: do not imagine a larger university if you are thinking of attending EMCC. The rules are much more high school oriented and you will not have the freedom of a larger college.
    In three sentences

    I am a freshman at EMCC and so far it has been a treat to attend. My classes are easy and manageable, and my professors are fun and engaging.

    Campus Safety

    Every building has a security guard and they are very visible on campus.
    Bang for the buck

    I live in a town that has a major university. I feel I had a much better experience at Emcc that at the university because the ratio of teacher to student is smaller. The teachers were much much more accesible, and it was cheaper.
    What to do for fun

    Nearby towns that offer lots to do
    Food and Dining

    Good food and lots of places available to sit and enjoy.
    Dorm Life

    no dorms at the satellite campus I attend
    Academic Rigor

    4 out 5 stars in my experience

    Campus Safety

    I've never felt unsafe while on campus.
    Great for these types of students

    It's great for commuter and military students. They have two main campuses and a couple satellite campuses for students.
    Bang for the buck

    It's great!
    What to do for fun

    Sporting events, Student Government, Choir, are among the popular choices.
    Food and Dining

    Since I live at home, I don't eat on campus.
    Dorm Life

    I live at home, so I can't say anything about the dorms.
    Academic Rigor

    It's college, so it difficult. They are preparing students to enter the workforce and to proceed to other institutions of higher learning. Just keep on top of class work, and every thing will work out.
    Tips for prospective students

    Plan ahead. Do your research first. Let your first year be the time for you to get the basics out of the way then decide on a major. Don't wait till the last minute to register for classes--- they fill up fast. The same goes for financial aid--- fill out and submit your FAFSA early.

    What to do for fun

    For fun, you can always attend one of our many championship winning athletic teams, or you can travel to Meridian or Starkville to hang out with friends.
    Food and Dining

    The cafeteria has its days just like any high school. You have a wider selection of choices however, and can eat as much as you want.
    Dorm Life

    The dorms are pretty decent. They are not new, but they are not worn down either.

    Most of the classes I took were pretty easy compared to the Advanced Placement classes I took in high school.

    Come with an attitude that is eager to learn. The school is not as hard as everyone makes college seem. I truly enjoyed my freshman year here at EMCC.

    Not really.
    Did enjoy being here

    It was alright; it felt just like a passageway between high school and a tinge of college/university.
    Did learn a lot

    Not really. Just mostly repeats from high school so it was pretty easy.

    Great for these types of students

    Home-bodied types of people, people who like small school atmospheres, etc.
    Tips for prospective students

    Since this is a small school, try getting to know people before talking about yourself. People at this school will try to scoop out the weak.
    Bang for the buck

    As far as the tuition, its OKAY.
    Am enjoying being here

    It's not anything to do. But they ARE building a new student union. Hopefully this union will bring new entertainment.
    Am learning a lot

    This school teaches you responsibility right off the bat. It teaches you about invidiuals, teachers, and about yourself as well.
