I don't really have that much of an opinion of USM since I've only spent one summer session with them but I wanted to add my two cents anyway I may come back and update it later.

So, far my experience wasn't that bad unlike some of the other reviewers here, but they are correct about the parking situation, the professor poor work ethnic( I wonder how were these people even able to get their degrees), working with the business and financial aid offices is a bit of a pain the are slow to reply but they do try to get more money out of you, the cafeteria meals are mediocre at best you might as well get your own food or eat somewhere else on campus.

Their assistance with residence housing has been poor in my experience I am in rough situation right now because all of the dorms are full and this school doesn't compensate housing for students like renting a hotel for students or covering for apartments. I highly recommend that anyone to apply for housing ahead of time like very very early otherwise they'll leave you to fend for yourself.

I'm currently going here and I cannot wait to get out. The parking situation is ridiculous. They should not differentiate between student parking, it causes too much confusion and senseless tickets. There already is not enough parking. They do not care to listen to your appeals for citations either, regardless of what your situation may be. Terrible school. I hate my experience. I wish I could give it a 0/10.

They would tell me I was good to go with financial aid. 2 week later, I'd check in and they would need more information. It happened about 6 times. Didn't even get financial aid until months after I left the school. No one was every able to answer my question the first time I asked. To the point where I had to be rude to get somewhere, which at this point is the normal when I have to call them. You can ask a question they don't give you ALL the information you need. Hated my experience.

The University of Southern Mississippi has been a second home to me. The small classrooms and walk-able campus give the school a shady, welcoming feel. The school has lots of spirit, and most departments have professors that care and are dedicated. I've completed my time there. It was a very rewarding experience. Like any school, the more you immerse yourself in the activities like the fantastic music program, the more involved you feel. Take the time to do some extra curricula. You will not regret it.

Looking for the college with the lowest job placement rate in the state? One that has had accreditation problems in the past? Need a college degree that holds little weight in the career world? Want to waste 4 pivotal years mistakenly assuming that you are earning respected academic chops to obtain a good career? Then USM is the place for you. Bottom line - if you just like to party and don t expect much out of life, then you can get a degree from USM - and then go sell insurance, drive for Uber or something like that. Just get daddy to write them a check. Why do all the 5-star reviews here have no actual glowing words in their reviews?

If you are not familiar with USM it is widely known as Mississippi's diploma mill. You (or your cat) can get just about any generic, non-respected, useless undergraduate degree at this party school. It's littered with bitter professors who - generally speaking - couldn t get their foothold in private sector, economy-based employment (aka real job). The main point is - when your USM grad child goes looking for successful employment, they will greatly regret their choice ...and so will you. They'll have to do it all over again - and at a real school... with more loans to add to your debt. Don't flush away your hard-earned money at an institution that wants to run your child through the system just to pay the salaries of poor quality 'professors'.
