University of Southern Mississippi Top Questions

That so much emphasis was placed on your GPA when you graduate. Especially if you plan to further your education or attend graduate school.

That it would be this awesome!....If I wouldve known that, I wouldve never applied to any other schools!

I think students should be aware that there is a rather large gay/lesbian population at this university. I think that it's a great environment for people who question their own sexual orientation or who are open-minded. And I think that the closed-minded individuals should probably be aware of this.

I wish I had know more about finacial aid before coming to this school.

Before I came to the University of Southern Mississippi, I would have loved to have more information about financial aid, I went into college with no financial aid, and have received little despite my high GPA. The most useful knowledge would have been where to find the aid, how to apply for it, and what was available to me. I also wish I had known how to navigate the rather complicated university bureaucratic system, between admissions and advisement and other factors that shape college life, but I have learned through trial and error how to operate in the college system.

Before coming to The University of Southern Mississippi I wish I would have known more about where my classes are located and in what buildings. I had a issue the first week of school I was in the wrong class because I did not know where I was going and how to get there. Walking around a few days before school starts I would recommend just seeing where your classes will be located at so you will not be in the wrong class and you will not be late for class the first day of school.

How to adjust to a senior college!!!!

I knew everything I need to know before I came to USM.

My first semester I was in an apartment and thought that was want I wanted to live. But due to financial reason I moved into the dorm the next semester and I so wish I had done that to begin with. The advantages weighs out the disadvantages.

I wish that I had known that Southern did not have a pre-med program. I started Southern with a different major then decided to go to med school but I did not realize until that point that Southern did not have a pre-med program.
