Home of the Delta sunsets.
Some people say that it is not a real university. You do not have 10,000 + students at your campus, campus size, or the course work of an actual university.
Yes, I go to an university with the population of maximum 4,000 students, class sizes of probably 20 to 30 students, and professors that know my name. On my walks to class, I see at least one or two people I know.
Sporting events, we may not be apart of the SEC but we come and rally all together. The t-shirts they give away sometime aren't always the cutest, but hey they are free. In college, anything free is basically the best in college.
Tailgating can't even be compared to Ole Miss, but we start tailgating day before the game and there until the sun comes up before the football game. But you best believe that students, alumni, professors, and even the president of the university will be out there.
Everything on campus is in walking distance and it takes an average of five to seven minutes to get from the farthest building to the other side of campus. That is the reason I love this campus. If you are running late from one class you will have that ten minute time frame to get to the next lecture.
The professors here know your name... no joke. And more than likely they might remember that stupid fact you had to say about yourself from the first day of lecture. Professors here care about their students and want to get to know them. They don't mind talking to you outside of that boring lecture they gave for the fifty minute time frame.
Our classes here are not some JuCo classes either. They are not the easiest sometimes, but we have so many opportunities for us to have assistance. Just because we do not have 100 plus students sitting in on classes, does not mean we do not attend university-style classes. We have professors here from all over the United States that have taught at larger universities. We are not bumpkin, back-wood country students learning the farming ways here.
We have one of the top ten weirdest mascots in the United States, which is the okra. No, we do not eat okra every single day. I think, maybe it was served once or twice a month. Even though I do love to eat fried okra.
I would not change where I ended up going to college. I may laugh at all the stupid jokes people make about the university I attend, but I would not change it for the world. Everyone is different and each college treats everyone but don't call my university a fake one.
Plus, the Delta sunsets are nothing like any one has ever seen before either.
