Describe your school in one sentence.An unorganized, non recycling, unadvanced technilogical university, with the happiest students who have their own style, close minded except when they want to drink, tiny party school with cocky football players, coaches who have played/coached less then the athletes, worst food ever, teachers who would do anything for their students kind of school.What kind of person should attend this school?Someone who likes to party, doesn’t mind long drives to get to the city and can build great relationships with friends. A student who likes going to class, and enjoys a college town. A student that can deal with the heat, and walking to class. Someone who is patient to deal with the Alcorn Run Around and someone who can cook for themself in their dorm.

What do you consider the best thing about your school? Why?The best thing I consider about my school, Alcorn State University, is that it represents the name to its fullest potential. I love the atmosphere, the school pride of my fellow students, and the history that it holds. I love to bleed the school colors, purple and gold, everywhere I go because I am so proud of its amazing achievements that it has made. The teachers are willing to teach us as the students are willing to learn. Alcorn State University, home of the Braves, happens to be more than what I have suspected before I came an Alcornite.What kind of person should attend this school?Alcorn State University is all about “Knowledge and Character.” Alcorn State University opens it gates to any student who is willing to learn and succeed. No matter what size, shape, or color a person may be, Alcorn welcomes anyone who is interested. ASU only allows those who are willing to make a name for themselves but also have that academic background from it. It wants those who can come in get their education and go right back out and represent Alcorn State University like a true Alcornite should.

Describe your school in one sentence.Alcorn State University is a place where you order college experience with a side of excellence, and a large party.What’s unique about your school compared to other schools you considered?What makes my school unique is it’s location and history. My school is situated in a more country part of Mississippi. Surrounding the school is nothing but forest. The nearest town is about 25 to 30 miles away. Because of the locaion, many activities are brought to the school. The location also allows for everyone to be closer.  Alcorn State University is the oldest historically black land-grant institution in the United States.

What do you consider the best thing about your school? Why?The best thing about Alcorn State University is it’s a Historicial Black University, listed as one of the 120 oldest black university in America. It was first founded as an Agricultural and Mechanical College in the midwest rual side of Mississippi. The alumni is very diverse both local and national. It has one of the most greenest campes around. Growing their own natural foods, herbs and livestock for students and falculity. It grows pecan,  fruits, such as peaches, berrys, and watermelon, and punkins. I love this university because it focus on the sucess of the students and their goals.What kind of person shouldn’t attend this school?The type of person/persons that shouldn’t attend Alcorn State University is someone who is lazy, unintrested in attending classes, someone who is only there to have fun or play around. Anyone who is not intrested in getting a good education, someone who is up to no good, bad influence on others. A person who is not intrested in making something good for their life have no business being at this school or any other instution of learning. Someone who is just out to waste time exspectily some one elses, such as the professor’s, advisor’s, and adminstrators.
