  • Truly a great campus with great people. Can’t ask for more can you? Want to love yourself? Go to the MAFES store and get some strawberry ice cream.

  • We visited the campus while our son was attending a Vet Camp and was thoroughly impressed by the area, facilities, and the general demeanor of the people there. I mean, southern hospitality is real...

  • One of the best college campuses out there! I went there for graduate school (for geosciences) and highly recommend the university! The sports are entertaining (especially games at Davis Wade!!), the amenities are fantastic, the food is good, the traditions are so special, and the overall atmosphere is very chill. Hail State!
  • Great University for learning agriculture, mechanical engineering, Aerospace Engineering, computer science, electrical engineering and many more degrees. The more time you spend here and the surrounding areas the more you will love it. #hailstate
