University of Mississippi

I’m only on here to say that if your a girl looking at colleges and you’ve EVER had self image or body issues, this is NOT your college. I’m a sophomore and I have never thought about my body or what I’m wearing or how I look more than I do now. Every girl here looks like an Instagram influencer or like they could be on Bachelor in Paradise. Also, as much as people try to convince you Greek life isn’t everything here, it is. I’m in a “top tier” sorority right now BUT it still blows. None of my friends in other sororities disagree with me either. It’s a dated social construct that categorizes women and then pits them against one another... and then make you pay an insane amount of money to do it.

There’s a lot to the University of Mississippi. I readily admit that there is some tough history here that can never be ignored. However, if we are tenacious in making our school an inclusive, loving, socially-aware place, there is so much Ole Miss has to offer. It would be rude and ignorant for me to gloss over our past. I can assure you, though, the school is in great standing today. As a student, you will see from day one that the University does everything in their power to make sure you feel safe in your new home. At orientation, there are presentations that tell you all the ways to make sure you are safe on campus. There is an app that works with the local police to make sure you get home safely and authorities know where you are. There are background-checked volunteers who walk people around campus if they feel unsafe at the press of a button. There is a policy on campus that you will not be reprimanded if you are caught drinking underage or using illegal substances because Ole Miss’ first priority is that you are safe. The school wants to make sure you always feel like you can talk to them and never want you to be alone. Freshman year, you will be urged to take either African American history or Southern History. Both are very eye-opening and encourage kids to become more aware of Mississippi’s past and socially conscious as to other student’s backgrounds. I have personally seen kids from poor, mostly caucasian towns go from snide and isolated to kind and friendly because of an inclusivity they had never seen before at the University of Mississippi. There is an opportunity at this school for everyone to become someone to be proud of. And how could I not mention the spirit? When you walk in the grove, there is a feeling of bliss. Everyone here is your brother and your friend. You can study anywhere, you can eat anywhere. Everywhere you look, there is someone new to talk to. When you sit in the student section, hearing the famous “are you ready!”, you will feel a passion pumping through your veins only the University of Mississippi could give you. If you aren’t sure, take a tour. This place is your home, and we are waiting with open arms. Love always and Hotty Toddy!

College life is a piece of your life's puzzle that will always be remembered. Where you choose to go to college will play a big part and have a huge impact on you, so it is a decision to make wisely. The University of Mississippi has been the right choice for me. Overall, I am glad to be an Ole Miss Rebel.

I really love Ole Miss. They've provided me with countless opportunities that I wouldn't have been able to receive anywhere else. I will always be indebted to the great programs that the University of Mississippi has provided that have helped me grow both as a student and as a person.

My overall opinion about the University of Mississippi is multiple things. I strongly believe we had a great academic program to help students such as myself succeed. Not only as a student,but the staff as well helps the students to their success. The professors vary depending on who you reach out to some will go out of their way to help you as much as they can including touring you, where others show you ways you can seek out for help. Yes, academics come first, but we are also a huge sports school, the students get involved and have so many opportunities to join activities or participate in. We of coarse have out school sports, clubs, and intramural clubs that any one can join which I find amazing. We are a huge football tailgating season school have the best tailgating around. Everyone from all over gets together before the game and they have tents some with chandlers, home cooked food, flat screen TV's and much more. It is truly an amazing and unforgettable experience that everyone needs to experience once. Along with that we have a fairly large Greek life here at Ole Miss, there are several sororities to choose from, but you do not have to be in Greek life to go here. Your first year you stay on campus super convenient and not to bad I enjoyed my first year. The staff are truly amazing and super sweet always willing to help if you have an issue they are there for you. My opinion is that Ole Miss does a great job with keeping equality between everyone within the campus and you make so many friends along the way. I am going onto my second year and I cannot tell you how thrilled I am to come back I live twelve hours away and love this school. I have made so many friends, accomplished multiple things,joined club soccer, got involved including with Greek life and still managed to get a great education on the way. I highly recommend or even consider looking into this school because it really makes you feel like you are at home. HOTTY TODDY!

The University of Mississippi is a world all it's own. Located in North Mississippi, the university and the city of Oxford have a symbiotic relationship that benefits both parties. Everyone in town and on campus are welcoming and friendly. It's easy to feel that you belong there. As a freshman, I was exposed to many nationalities and cultures that I had never known before. As I matriculated, I learned how diverse our world is and grew a great appreciation for the differences in cultures. The music program at the University of Mississippi is world renowned and I enjoyed being a part of the Choral Music program. There were a multitude of class options and each class I took was enriching. Our son, now a high school senior, plans to attend in the Fall. Every visit with him has been a pleasure. My only complaint is the out of state tuition cost. It is in the normal range compared to other schools but I do wish they had some leeway when it comes to bordering states. Overall, I feel my son will receive a top notch education at the University of Mississippi. There are so many opportunities for growth as an individual there and a lot of support from the university along the way.

It’s a great school with all type of people. I’ve learned from mistakes, enjoy sarcasm and found myself a great bunch of friends. Ole Miss is a very open minded school and if you attend you must be willing to see things differently. Having being a African American student it was an eye opening experience.

I absolutely love University of Mississippi. There is always something going on especially if you are involved in greek life. The contemporary dorms are very nice. The Square is very popular especially on weekends. It is within walking distance but shuttle service is available.

The University of Mississippi is an amazing party school. The football program is big! I love attending football games. The Chinese Flagship Program and Honors College are both exceptional institutions within the university that allow intellectuals to truly thrive and prosper. The campus is also one of the most beautiful campuses in the country.

It is a beautiful campus with ample opportunities. Our academics are
