What would be Mississippi State's overall reputation as a university be?

Thoughts, opinions?
Would you be pleased with your child going there for a degree?
General questions I know, just curious.

Pretty, safe campus. Clean-cut, decent kids. Good engineering and ag program. I would've been happy for my kid to attend. Obviously, an SEC school, which is a bonus for sports.

I have two high schoolers who are seriously considering State. One will have more options like Auburn or UGA but we'll be fine if she ends up at State. It's pretty cheap for a state school with all the course offerings, funding, etc. Of course my two will get in-state tuition because their mom's address.
Tldr it's not nearly the worst place your kid could go to college.

I know a lot of State grads and most have been above-average and some very intelligent. It’s a solid university. On the other hand, the majority of Ole Miss grads I’ve worked with have been lazy and not very bright.

Thanksgiving trash talking would be fun every year when the kids visit.

If Deltaland is a representative of State then hard pass.

Legit Architecture program. That’s all I got.

Would much rather them go there than LSU.

My two absolutely love LSU football, Baseball, women's basketball and gymnastics. But both are leaning towards State over LSU because many of their friends they grew up with will be at State too(they go to high school in Mississippi).

Good school. The architecture and engineering programs are well thought of. Veterinarian and meteorology programs as well. Not a big party school at least compared to USM and Ole Miss. More working class kids as a whole. The more well to do kids will be at Ole Miss. Or at least that’s how it used to be.

When I was at State, an idiot could get into ole mess with a 14 on the ACT.

Good strong engineering school with a completely unpretentious fan base. To be honest, I would feel more comfortable sending my child there than LSU.

Starkville gets a lot of hate, but it's not bad at all.

Their graduates are smart and competent but less than creative, in my experience- classic farmers and engineers. I don't know where they land in the USNWR rankings, but I think MSU is probably a top 100 research university by any reasonable standard.
I like how the three big public universities in Mississippi have pretty obviously distinct cultures and identities. It's not like Louisiana, where ULL really kind of just feels like LSU Junior, McNeese feels like ULL Junior, etc.
ETA: Let me give an example. It's a little crazy how quiet MSU's campus is compared to USM or Ole Miss.
