Hello and welcome to MSU, new Bulldogs!
You have made a great choice by deciding to attend Mississippi State University. This university truly cares and gives back to its students. Not only will you have a high-class education upon graduation, but you will also have memories and passions aplenty.
I hope you choose to plug in and engage on campus in as many ways as possible. As I have always heard, there are over 400 clubs and organizations on campus, so there is a place for you to fit in. I found my home at The Reflector and the Speech and Debate Council; I hope you find yours too.
But, do not worry if you don’t have the perfect friend group and “home” by the end of freshman year. I certainly did not, and there is nothing wrong with taking time to build your community.
Above all, enjoy and cherish every moment, even those 8 a.m. trigonometry tests, because these days will soon be over. And, of course, always make sure to grab your weekly copy of The Reflector!
Hail State!
