  9. Here's your chance: Say anything about your college!

    It is smaller and more intimate than other community colleges. It is a small campus yet it is spread open but not too much. Classes are smaller and you can get more time with teachers than other community colleges allow. I go to the Ridgeland campus and it is quite nice.

  14. What do you consider the worst thing about your school? Why?

    Since I am on the Ridgeland campus of Holmes Community College, the worst part is the lack of food options on campus. The student union has a kitchen and counter, however, there isn't food sold there. The college is slowly working towards offering more on campus food options. There are food trucks that come by every day of the week and sell local food for $6 or less. It would be great though if the student union also offered food.
