No other school like The W
Mississippi University for Women is a special and unique place, not only because of its continuing mission that focuses on women's education but of how alumnae/i are extremely dedicated to The W and to each other. You can't show me any other school on this planet - football team or not - that has the level of love and loyalty from its alumnae/i that The W has. I was an unsure college transfer when I stepped onto The W's campus in 1990. I had little belief in myself and what I could do. Over the years, and largely because of MUW, I have grown to a level of confidence that I never imagined I'd have. I have done things that I would never have woven into the tapestry of my wildest dreams twenty years ago. I made - and continue to make - the dearest, most supportive, and most loyal friends I will ever have in my life. All because of The W. There is no other school like The W, and I look forward to the day 13 years from now that I will get to take my daughter to her first semester at The W.

The name Mississippi University for Women matches the historical significance of this beautiful institution. MUW has changed my life and many other lives - both women and men - and her historical influence deserves continued recognition.

Unmatched
Mississippi University for Women left a mark on my heart before I even knew it existed. My grandmother graduated from "MSCW" (Mississippi State College for Women). My mother began her college career at MUW. I followed suit by graduating from MUW in 1995. The self-awareness I developed there has been unmatched by any other time in my life. I attribute my strengths a result of my 4 years there. I am the person I am today, because I am a "W" girl. I lood forward to my daughters having that same opportunity to be "W" girls, too.

The greatest gift
My four years at the "W" were wonderful and have had an impact on my life ever since. Perhaps the greatest gift that I received was the friendships - those that have continued for over forty years and those that have been made since with alumnae who were there before and after me.

Felt like home to me
This is the first place that ever felt like home to me, a place I belonged, a place where I could be me, find me, express myself freely, a place where I learned who I was and found the desire to keep discovering who I can be.

Makes me ache for it
I started in '78 and finally go my degree in '85. I can't say that I spent much time in classes at the W, but as a woman now old enough to be of no commercial import to advertisers, with a masters degree and 4 years of post graduate under her belt, a lesson in grace, the value of grace, and a friend named Grace, I say, were the most educational gifts I received in my career as a career student. And all from this little place so far, far, away now that it makes me ache for it. But time is funny like that.

Character, confidence, love and friendship
MUW is a wonderful university with a beautiful campus of 24 historic buildings. It was the first state supported college for women in the United States and has remained a leader in women's education for 120 years. The "W" as it is lovingly called by alumnae and students, builds character, confidence, love and friendship in all who allow themselves to come under it's influence. It is truly a "Lovemark" to thousands of admiring fans.

No place I'd rather be!
MUW - No place I'd rather be! A comment from a current student. Once you become immersed in the W, you do realize what a wonderful place it is. Learning and growing with other women plus a few men in an environment that is conducive to developing leadership and academic excellence. The best four years of my life were spent at MUW.
