Some Say It's Not A Real University

But please, come here and see for yourself.

Some Say It's Not A Real University

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.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
