    How expensive is college in Mississippi? Breaking down the real costs

    I'm a Mississippi State student and I want to add something important: apply by the priority deadline. I almost missed it and would have lost my out-of-state scholarship. The scholarship chart on their website is super clear. Certain GPA and test score combos = certain dollar amounts. It's not...

    How many hours should undeclared students take? My advisor says 15-18 🤔

    Undeclared here 🙋‍♀️ I took 15 last semester and honestly it was fine until midterms hit. Then I was drowning. This semester I'm doing 12 and actually learning things instead of just surviving. Do what works for YOU, not what the advisor says is "normal."

    How is the financial aid office at Northwest? Reviews are scary 😱

    The Niche reviews are scary but also Niche attracts the people who had bad experiences. The thousands of students who had fine experiences don't post. I'm a current student and my financial aid processed fine. I did FAFSA in October, submitted all docs in November, and my aid was posted before...

    How to avoid plagiarism when everything I write sounds like my sources?

    "Patchwriting" is such a scary word for something so easy to do accidentally 😭 I've definitely been guilty of just swapping synonyms and calling it a day. The "close the source" tip is simple but genius. Forces your brain to actually understand instead of just rearrange.

    Is Mississippi a good place for college? I'm from California and nervous

    I go to Southern Miss (different school, I know) and we have a ton of out-of-state students. The thing about Mississippi is that it's cheap to live here, so your money goes further. You won't find the same nightlife as LA or SF, but you'll find a really strong community. Your dad is kinda right...

    How many paragraphs is an essay supposed to have? I'm getting different answers from everyone

    I thought I had this figured out. In high school, it was five paragraphs. Always. Introduction, three body, conclusion. Done. Easy. Now I'm in college and every professor seems to have a different answer. One says "as many as you need." Another says "around 8-10 for a standard essay." A third...

    What are the 4 types of essay and how do I know which one I'm supposed to write?

    My professor assigned an essay but didn't specify what TYPE of essay. Just said "write about this topic." And now I'm spiraling because aren't there like... different kinds? And if I pick the wrong one, will I fail? I Googled it and now I'm more confused. Some sites say 4 types, some say 7...

    I'm a freshman and I have my first college essay due in two weeks and I have absolutely no idea how to start.

    Psychology Major at Mississippi State University seeking part-time job opportunities in Starkville

    On-campus jobs > off-campus jobs for psych majors. Why? Because on-campus supervisors actually understand that finals week means you're useless. Off-campus bosses don't care about your p-value crisis. Specifically, look at: The Dean of Students Office (they hire student workers constantly) The...

    Dude, Aaron, your situation is literally my life right now. I'm also working part-time and drowning in case studies. The struggle is real. 😩 I haven't found a service that ticks all those boxes, especially the punctuality one. I tried some random site once for a history paper and spent the...

    My personal statement feels like a boring apology for not being a "writer." I'm an architecture student!

    Applying to grad school for architecture. My portfolio is strong. My designs are conceptual but grounded. I can spend 12 hours in the studio working on a model and feel energized. Give me a roll of trace paper and some markers, and I'm happy. 🖊️ But this personal statement is going to be the...
