A common problem with most moviegoers is figuring out which movies to see. Now that going to the theater is so expensive, people are afraid of picking a bad movie and wasting their money and time.
There are plenty of films to choose from every weekend, so a little research is needed to find out which movies suit someone’s standards.

College is for most, a memorable experience. Students meet new people, prepare for the future and usually gain 15 to 20 pounds.
However, for most, the Freshman 15 isn’t all that’s being gained.
According to the Huffington Post, college debt is on the rise. The average student in 2012 graduated with a degree and $29, 400 in student debt. This amount has increased in less than a decade, with students in 2004 owing only an average of $18, 750.

Moss said she feels connected to MUW in more ways than one. For her, MUW is like home, so being named the Director of Admissions was an incredible honor.

Mississippi University for Women is known for its academic excellence. This is a sentiment the Roger F. Wicker Center for Creative Learning, located on the fourth floor of the education building, strives to accomplish and implement every day.
With an array of programs benefitting the community, it’s no wonder Sen. Roger Wicker, whom the building is named after, along with MUW President Dr. Jim Borsig, visited and praised the accomplishments of the center last week.
