Not until December 15, did I really decide that Mississippi College was the college for me. I had searched and searched for colleges all over the south, but I never felt that they were the college for me. I applied at Mississippi State, paid my housing fee and everything but never really felt comfortable. I actually never even visited the campus. So, for the longest time, I wobbled back and fourth between Mississippi States, SCAD, Auburn and many others and eventually decided that i would check out Mississippi College. One night, December 15th, I was over at a friends house, and she was telling me all about MC, and all the opportunities and everything that it offered. She was also telling me about scholarship opportunities, which really caught my attention. See, scholarship amounts were one of the main factors that would lead me to a college or away from it. In the end, I applied for MC and recieved almost a full ride! The uneasy feeling I had in my stomach completely went away and by that I knew that MC was the place for me.
Now that we have started classes and I am getting used to the "college life", I am so excited that I chose Mississippi College. The atmosphere here is unlike anything I have ever seen. The people, no matter who you walk up to and talk with, are so welcoming and nice. Even though I've only been here for about a week now, I already feel accountable. I know that i am not a part of a number, but rather someone that is accountable. If I am not there, someone notices!
Overall, Classes have not been challenging..not yet! The teachers are awesome and are so welcoming. The activities on campus during "Welcome Week: The Best Week Ever" have been great and have really been a way for people to meet other people and already start that bonding experience. All I have to say is that Mississippi College is awesome, and I can't wait for what is to come!
Godbless,
Derek

This feels a little different, commenting on someone's blog who I don't know, but yours was just the first one I clicked on. I am definitely glad that I chose MC as well; my choices were either here or Auburn since I am from Birmingham. The people here really are friendly and I think the transition from home was easier here than it would have been at a big university.
AURBURN!!?? Arent you glad that you did not choose to go there cause they just got beat at their own place by LSU!! Hahaha, LSU Tigers #1!! but yea nice choice my man, MC is the best choice for me too!
thats cool man it was about the same for me choosing a college
I'm glad you feel so confident in your choice to go to MC. I've been feeling a bit uneasy about whether I made the right choice by coming here or not, so that's great that you're so positive!
