Good reviews
Overall 4.6
William Carey is a great school to be a part of. They care for their students and want their students to succeed. I do attend the Tradition Campus, but have taken classes with teachers in Hattiesburg. I have gained life long friendships, something I did not get at MGCCC. I would 10/10 recommend. There Trimesters allow you to hand the course load.

Great school!! Love the staff and the campus

This school has a christian foundation and most faculty are religious. Most faculty are willing to help and other faculty are overextended.

The campus is a small setting, and that's why I chose it. I really not everyone appreciates smaller campuses, but we have a great network of students and the faculty/staff are able to connect more on a one-on-one level because of our size. The dorms get better every year, and the cafeteria manager is open to suggestions from students.

I love WCU, nice campus, wxcellemt professors. Smaller but it has a lot of old buildings, rich in history. Extremely helpful staff and quality education, high standards. Extremely committed to integrity and helping students meet their personal goals.

stupidly religious brow beating

Being a religious school is ridiculous. The only good thing about this school is that it's on trimesters and so you can potentially finish faster

Not everything about William Carey was horrible... some good people and most of the professors were great! The food was the worst food I had ever had and I continually spent my money on going out to eat because I couldn't stomach the cafeteria food (which is your only option). They are overly strict and it's hard to graduate. Would not recommend.

William Carey University is a good college overall. The food and the internet are terrible though. There are many nice professors who make you feel as though they really care about you and the subject they are teaching.
Overall 1.7
William Carey is not equal opportunity for students. There are great professors and there are very subpar adjunct professors. It is overpriced and not all subscribe to the Christian theology William Carey is known for.
Overall 1.8
William Carey is a small campus with students from all walks of life. Quality instruction is a bit lacking in many courses and at the end of the trimester, one is often left wondering what knowledge was gained? I am not so sure I would recommend this campus, my advice is look around for better opportunities.
