It's a great school it's just if you plan on living in the dorms choose wisely because Andrews is always hot, and has mold in the vents, but they came and fixed the mold the same day. The food get's boring after the third week because Wednesdays are always fried chicken day and Fridays are always fish days. Those are really the only two good days. we do have an ice cream machine which is always fun.

I have loved attending Mississippi Gulf Coast Community College. The teachers are so kind and are always willing to help students to succeed. This college is set up for students to experience success in and outside of the classroom. The student life on campus is so welcoming.

I believe this is a great school if you are from the coast and do not want to go that far from home just yet. I also think this is a great option if you want to play sports at a higher level but want to get playing time before you transfer to a university.

Courtney - 12/16/2021

Mississippis Gulf Coast Community College goes out of the way for their students. They really care about doing everything they can to help people.

This is the real meaning of a community college.
