Northwest Mississippi Community College - Desoto Center

"Graduated back in 2017 and couldn’t be more happy with the experience I had at the college. The teachers and office staff always cared if you were getting nervous."

"Our organization provided an educational event at the Desoto campus. We wanted to take the time to simply tell you guys thank you for your hospitality. We also wanted to add the details. You and your team At the “University of Desoto County”, Northwest Mississippi Community College, went above, beyond, and more to meet our expectations. All the care you provided to ensure we had what was needed to educate those interested in learning about their Social Security and Retirement options was the greatest. Again, thank you so much for your attention to detail.

"Won’t let me graduate for three years now.. I should be starting on my bachelor’s degree. Withheld TWELVE of my credits,because I was forced to change my major. Unorganized, stupid, and no remorse kind of school. Would NOT recommend. The advisors get smart with you as well. Don’t waste your time here."

"I went into northwest community college on January 7, 2019 looking to get an in depth understanding & help for attendance at the DeSoto location. Sad to say this was not the first time I have experienced a very unhelpful and unwelcoming attitude from the staff in the admissions office/ counseling office. They did not make you feel welcome or free to ask questions or give any helpful advice. The secretary at the desk acted as if I was getting on her nerves and was incompetent for asking her questions. Then when it was time for me to leave she said "you can go" okay I can go where??? All in all I would not recommend this college to anyone my experience was not good on multiple separate visits. Although I did take a class in 2016 & it was very good. This is in no way a shun or slight too another department there but with them being one of your first points of contact it is HORRIBLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

"This school is horrible and they are thieves!! I used financial aid they put your money from financial aid on a card that you use in the bookstore for books my advisor did not make me aware that I was short half a credit to be considered full time I had my usual four classes like I always have every semester except for this time my lab was 3.5 instead of 4 so when it was time for the school to cut me a check from my balance left on the card it was$21 dollars I called and asked what happened to my money which was suppose to be $700 some dollars they said I was at 13.5 hoursI had to have 14 hours to be full time (the amount of hours I quoted may be wrong but you get the idea) and financial aid felt as though I didn’t need the rest of that money I called financial aid they said once that money is granted it is mine and they don’t come back and take money back so that means the school pocketed the money I stop going there shady ass school"
