Student Reviews and Ratings for Mississippi Valley State University
Overall Rating:
I feel truly disrespected by the staff... (Financial Aid, Student Accounts)... They made me feel unappreciated as a student... I sometimes truly regret attending this school... If I wasn't so close to being done with my degree I would not be there. Unprofessional.. not very knowledgeable.. MVSU it's a good idea to have daily meetings to address your staff professionalism. Parents take heed.
Source of the review: Google Places, Google Maps™As an MVSU graduate, my experience has been great! The entire Criminal Justice department/Business department staff members and professors are top notch and really help students prepare for careers post-college. Especially Dr. Cobbs! After leaving MVSU, I was able to pay off my student loans in 11 months due to the affordable tuition and waiver of the out-of-state fee. I’ve accomplished so much after graduating from MVSU; from being a part of a Fortune 500 company, to starting my own business, writing my first book, and so much more. I would recommend any and all students to attend this college!
Source of the review: Google Places, Google Maps™I know people, and the things that they had to say about Mississippi Valley State makes it a great university!
