The campus is beautiful, the professors are compassionate and the area is kept clean and safe. I have met a great number of people that I will be friends with for life, The advisors are proactive in helping students make great choices. The administration communicates with the students and we are kept informed.
I am a sophomore student. There are lots of things put on be organizations to do. Pretty easy to find a group of people you belong to. The class and professors are pretty good. They use a lot of TAs and if you get a bad one you are screwed. I really like the food. I think the parking on campus is not the best but the bus system is pretty good. I use it to get from my campus to my apartment every week.
Great school for all academic, sports, and a college experience. The students here are very friendly which makes it easy to talk and get help from others. The professors are willing to help and not just give out grades. Overall this is a great school to attend and further your education.
The University of Mississippi is the place for you if you are extremely materialistic and self-centered! I'm no scholar, but absolutely no one cared about their academics that they are paying an outrageous amount of money for. The dorms are disgusting and there is barely anything to do in the town of Oxford...The square isn't anything impressive. I have only had one professor that I enjoyed, the rest were unhelpful and frustratingly disorganized. Please take my advice and stay away from Ole Miss unless you have extraordinarily low standards for yourself!

I would tell myself to make the most of my freshman year. What a student does their freshman year sets the ball rolling for the years to follow. I would also say to be true to myself and to be as involved in campus as possible. The people that become the most homesick are the ones who keep to themselves and don't take chances with college. I would tell myself to invest in a small umbrella for my backpack and a tool box. The last thing I would tell myself is to find as many scholarships as possible. The most amount of scholarships are available to high school seniors and the more you can put away from the start the more affordable college will be for you.
My classmates are full of energy and ready to ask questions when they don't understand something.
It is a small town school with a big town sports team.
The best thing about Ole Miss, in my opinion, is the atmosphere. We have so much pride for our campus and the environment it entails. During football season,the strongest sense of school pride pervades through the historic town of Oxford. The Grove is where students, alumnae and fans alike gather to share not only that sense of pride, but the best tailgating in America. The most "unusual" thing about Ole Miss is how we all put on our Sunday's best for tailgating before the big game. My friends that attend other colleges think that we are ridiculous, but everytime I visit their campus on a football weekend they seem to be mimicking our famous tradition. One experience I will take with me forever is participating in rush and joining a sorority. It was incredibly intense and competitive, I do not believe any other school is as cut-throat with rush as Ole Miss. I saw many broken hearts and girls transferring schools after being "denied" their top pick.
People at this school seem to be very welcoming and full of that "southern hospitality"
Alcoholic jackasses need not apply, if you are gonna dive right in to the drugs and sex then you will fail and waste your or the governments money. Plenty of newly stamped alcholics leave at the start of every fall semester.
There are definately people that fit into those classifications, but I believe those types are at every college. I had a pleasant experience. I met some of the most intelligent, dilligent and down to earth people that have more potential than one could fathom. On the other hand, I encountered some of the most disgusting, spoiled druggies that were going absolutely nowhere with their life. Although these are broad generalizations, the Ole Miss campus has some of the most ecclectic personalities and one can run with any crowd one pleases upon admission.

The academic atmosphere differs on the Ole Miss campus. I saw a lot of acquaintences leave after a mere semester because of the party scene affecting their scholastics. On the contrary, there is a plethora of extremely articulate, intelligent individuals that excel with their academics.
party a lot. not smart
That registering for classes is poorly set up and the classes fill way to quickly and there are not enough sections of the important classes required for my degree.
It is easy to feel socially anxious or pressured.
Ole Miss is a decent university with many pros and cons but overall you will ultimately learn some very valuable lessons that will prepare you for the future that awaits you.

The University of Mississippi has one of the most beautiful campuses in the world. Also the people that attend the school are very friendly all around.
For me, it is that i did so well in high school and I come to college and I feel like I am not prepared and I feel like no one wants to help or no one else feels the same way.
One of the most prominent stereotypes at Ole Miss is that we are all a bunch of preppy kids, with way too much money. However, after my years here I have come to realize that more than half the students here are on some type of student financial aid. I have run across some of the most wealthy people, supposedly "confirming" this stereotype; as well as some of the less fortunate, completely discounting these statements. Here at Ole Miss, there is a wide range of personalities and incomes. We aren't all a bunch of stuck up rich kids.
Everyone knows that in the South, football is king. No other sport comes close to it. SEC football more importantly, is the most competitive, fast paced football you will ever see. Some conferences have their top teams year after year, but each Saturday in the SEC there is a chance that there will be a new #1. As for other sports; Ole Miss Basketball for the men and women usually get decent attendance. As well as Volleyball and women's Soccer.
One of the best parts of the social scene at Ole Miss is the fact that there is always something to do. No matter what day of the week, there is something to do. One of the worst parts is the importance of going out to the bars. From freshman to seniors, everyone goes to the bars every weekend. So many freshman and people under 21 get MIP's and DUI's because there is a great importance placed on drinking.
