The application and admission process is very easy and there is always someone there to help. If you are looking for a bible based college and want to meet tons of people, choose William Carey University.

Remember every second because four years goes by way too fast!

My tips would be to do your homework on a regular basis. Since it is a little faster paced than other colleges because we are on the three trimesters each year schedule, skipping homework for a few days can really set you back.

Juliana from Hattiesburg, MS

If you aren't sure about William Carey or any college for that matter, go and just check it out. You can make a visit to come and tour around campus. I promise when you come though, you are not going to want to leave.

Ashton from Northport, AL

My tips for prospective students would be to definitely choose William Carey University. The student life is wonderful and everyone (students and faculty alike) are all very helpful/kind. You will develop unforgettable relationships with your teachers and fellow classmates!
