MERIDIAN, Miss. (WTOK) – Incoming freshmen to Meridian Community College went to orientation this morning for one last time before the Fall 2019 semester begins.
There were over 180 students at the Friday orientation, and they first met in the McCain Theater to watch a video welcoming them to MCC and teaching them about what it’s in store as they attend the college. Staff and MCC are encouraging the incoming class to stay focused and get involved on the campus this year.
“Today, [the incoming freshmen are] going to get a campus tour, they’re going to get acquainted with some of our faculty and staff, and most importantly, they’ll get registered for classes,” says Ashley Tanksley, a recruiting coordinator for MCC. “So just a fun event to get them oriented with our campus and know what MCC has to offer.”
One student we spoke with will be in studying nursing and is excited to begin her college career at MCC.
“I plan on getting my associates here and then moving on towards like a bachelor’s and then eventually maybe a nurse practitioner, says Emilee Clark. “My grandmother was a nurse, and we have a big family full of just medical field, so I’m really passionate about that.”
Fall semester classes for Meridian Community College students begin on August 19th.

Save money on books, school supplies and everything you want to enjoy college! Financial aid, back in the olden days meant grants, scholarships, work study jobs. Loans were part of the package, but since they are available, ‘common thought’ was it is not financial aid – it was however a low interest loan. If you’re dependent on your parents, and they are below a certain income, most colleges give you much monies to help you attend their school. The middle class student with 2 working parents pays much more for their child to attend school and that student often can’t get work study job on campus. Those jobs are limited to the kids with financial aid.
If you can, or your parents can, to lower your loan debt when you leave school, if you have any monies, try to pay at least the interest while you are in school. Many loans start adding interest the day they are used to pay for school. So a $10,000 loan becomes a $12,000 amount when you leave school (example each loan is different) If you pay the interest (example $25 per month) then the $10,000 loan is only $10,000 when you leave school.
