    if you want it, in some way, ole miss offers it. there's nothing ole miss cant teach you
    Will enjoy being here

    oxford is a small town with big city life. The people are friendly, it's a clean city, and it's a football town. The town supports the school, and everyone loves the Rebels. It truly isan amazing place
    Bang for the buck

    Whatever it is, if you're in-state, or out of state like myself, Ole Miss is worth it. It has everything you could want.
    Tips for prospective students

    VISIT CAMPUS. i was not a fan before i actually went to campus. i have visited Baylor, Arkansas, Texas, LSU, and ULL, and no where gives me the warm-fuzzies like Ole Miss. its different than anywhere you can ever go.
    Great for these types of students

    looking for a small school education, and a big school weekend atmosphere. the student teacher ratio, 17:1, is the size of Rhodes or Vanderbilt. The Grove on game day is the #1 place to tailgate, and you cant get that anywhere else. go visit! go rebs!

    Am learning a lot

    Wow! My first year at the University of Mississippi has been a blast!! I can't hardly believe my last final will be tomorrow! I have learned so much! From my EDHE class, to my Biology! Even things I thought I already knew have been broadened; just be being apart of the diverse group of individuals, that make up The University of Mississippi.
    Am enjoying being here

    From ASB elections, daily polls at the union, campus events (like the black and white ball), Raves at the library, Ford Center performances, Grovin' in the University Grove on game day, FOOTBALL games with previously No. 4 Ranked Ole Miss team, and just the campus, it is a blast! Ole Miss is the perfect place to be! Come be apart!
    Bang for the buck

    Oh yes! Ole Miss is one of the most ecnomical state universities in the US. Definitely consider The University of Mississippi for that. All of my teachers have gone out of their way to be certain that I was gaining, and was equipped with all of the tools and information I needed to make my learning experience the best possible.
    Tips for prospective students

    Don't be afraid to ask you teachers questions, thats what they are their for, but that goes for every university.

    For Ole Miss, be apart! Get out there! Go to football games! Drag a friend along, even if you didn't finish your home work. All ways make time to see them rebels play!

    Also, consider going greek and joining a panhellenic fraternity or sorrority! Ole Miss has some of the most acclaimed greek societies in the country!
    Great for these types of students

    The University of Mississippi is a unique, close-knit environment. It is a small campus, so everything is nearby. Even if your late for class, it will only be 2 minutes late!

    Don't underestimate the campus though. It has ALOT to offer. They have squeezed SO much important useful things in the small acreage is rests upon, it will take you your entire 4 years to discover what all it has to offer... and then some!

    Ole Miss has offered me an experience of a lifetime. The Honors College is ranked very highly nationwide as well as the Lott Leadership Institute and Croft Institute. Every class is designed to allow a student to learn as much as possible and the professors are very welcoming and act as though they want their students to do their best. It is very likely that a student who goes to Ole Miss will be very happy with their academic opportunities.
    Am enjoying being here

    Ole Miss is an amazing university to attend. Even the city of Oxford opens many great experiences for a college student to enjoy. Everyone I have met around campus and in town have been very friendly and welcoming. The campus is absolutely beautiful and everything is easily accessible. The Student Programming Board entertains with movies every month and there is always something to do on campus. Whether you have a car or not does not matter because the university buses travel the entire town and make living on or off campus enjoyable as well.
    Bang for the buck

    The University of Mississippi is a university surrounded by success. Whether through the alumni or current students, Ole Miss is represented by outstanding people. It is because Ole Miss has so much to offer academically and through activities that it is worth the cost. Although it is not as expensive as most, Ole Miss definitely is worth every penny.
    Tips for prospective students

    Anyone who is looking to go to Ole Miss needs to get involved. Ole Miss has so much to offer and getting involved helps make the experience that much more amazing. Getting involved includes but is not limited to student organizations, it also involves talking to professors. The professors here are always willing to help and introducing yourself allows them to recognize you and notice that you are serious about your education and are wanting to get the most out of your education.
    Great for these types of students

    Ole Miss is a great university for all types of students. If you are looking to get a top of the line education, you can find it here. Ole Miss is known as the Harvard of the South for a reason. If you are looking to have some fun while in college, Ole Miss offers that too. Whether it is participating in student organizations, Greek life, or nights on the town, Ole Miss is the place for you.

    Am learning a lot

    Ole Miss is considered the Harvard of the South, and it's no joke. It may be easy to get into the school, but it's not super easy to stay in. You definitely have to do the work and plan on learning to time manage and avoid procrastinating!
    Am enjoying being here

    Oxford is an AMAZING town. The food is great, there are many local boutiques to shop at, and the night life is unbeatable.
    Bang for the buck

    At Ole Miss, you get a top-notch education at an extremely low price. Additionally, they're very generous with scholarships as long as you take the time to apply. Even as an out of state student, I'm paying way less to attend school here than I would at many of my in-state universities.
    Tips for prospective students

    Even if you're just a tiny bit interested in Ole Miss, TAKE A VISIT. Many people will say that just one time on the campus and in Oxford was what made them decide to attend school here. Also, apply for the Honors College! It's a huge perk because you get priority registration for classes. You also get many opportunities to make connections with future potential employers.

    Bang for the buck

    I have received enough scholarships to cover everything.
    Tips for prospective students

    Get involved and meet people. Academics are important, but you need a full college experience and Ole Miss will provide that if you want it.

    In three sentences

    the university of mississippi is placed in the heart of true southern hospitality. the school is beautiful and have some of the best staff you can find. the classes are competitive and tough but that's what makes the school a good one. partying is a forte for students but we're also very intelligent students.
    Tips for prospective students

    begin here. it's a hard transition for most students who attend community college first due to the academic nature.
    Academic Rigor

    harvard of the south definitely describes the school well. plenty of reasons that is the perfect name.
    Dorm Life

    ehhh, okay. they're building new ones and knocking down old. some of the new ones are extremely nice.
    Food and Dining

    mostly fast food is offered on campus in the union but there are a few other places to eat on campus for fresh food.
    What to do for fun

    the town of oxford, mississippi is a very small one. there is a movie theatre and the town square offers locally owned (and expensive) places to shop and good world renowned restaurants. the night life is a very large part of the life of oxford.
    Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus

    the grove!! it is a tradition to tailgate and hang out and party there before all football games. it's 10 rolling acres spread through the middle of the campus and is always packed full of people. william faulkner's house and grave offer for some old traditions.
    Great for these types of students

    to be honest, mostly at ole miss are students who are rich. other students can find places to fit in but they are typed as rich and preppy typically.
    Clubs and Activities

    it can be a little overwhelming at all the clubs and activities. something for everyone, literally.
    Greek Life

    very large at ole miss. nearly everyone you meet is greek affiliated.
    Campus Safety

    there is a special force of cops only for the university plus the town police. they are on horses, bicycles, dirt bikes, motorcycles, golf carts and cars. there are safety booths everywhere so in case of emergency can be pressed and set off an alarm and alert the authorities. campus always feels safe and nightly plenty of people are out enjoying the grove or out for a run.

    There's lots to do on campus and also around the town in Oxford.
    Bang for the buck

    As an out of state student, the tuition is rather ridiculous. But if your scholarships cover all your expenses, then go for it.
    Tips for prospective students

    Apply early and fill out that scholarship application. You'll increase your chances of getting free money.
    Great for these types of students

    Self motivated students who know how to strike a balance between socializing and school work. There's plenty of parties going on, but you can't go to all of them and expect to have good grades.

    Am enjoying being here

    The campus is beautiful and the people are all very friendly. There is always so much to do between the football games and tailgate in the grove to going to frat parties or just hanging out in Oxford Square
    Bang for the buck

    Living in Oxford is so much cheaper than living in New Jersey. You can do a lot of things for very little money.
    Tips for prospective students

    If you aren't from the South, be open minded. There is nothing better than going to a big Southern school for college. Ole Miss has a sense of tradition that I know I wouldn't have gotten in a East Coast school.
    Great for these types of students

    Students who like to be busy and meet a wide variety of people from all over the country.

    Ole Miss is just another college. Sure you'll learn something, but it's nowhere near the level of schools like the Ivies and Stanford, Duke, or Vanderbilt. Harvard of the South? Not hardly. I don't think you can get into Harvard with a 15 on the ACT and 1.6-yes you can get into Ole Miss with such credentials.
    Will enjoy being here

    For me personally I wouldn't enjoy being here, but people that enjoy parties, raves, ect. will feel right at home.
    Bang for the buck

    Since it's the #2 party school in the country, I think the word bang should send a clear message. Ole Miss is fairly cheep when stacked against other public universities. The trade-off is job seeking power. You can get a job with a UM degree and you can get positions as a doctor, lawyer ect. in the South. But mega-law firms on Wall Street aren't recruiting from Ole Miss and won't be anytime soon I think. So be sure that if you come here you don't want to leave the South.
    Tips for prospective students

    Be sure you have the minimum requirements to get in. When you get here be sure not to party too hard. Because believe it or not you can still flunk out here.
    Great for these types of students

    Students that really don't want to be Mr. Big Shot on Wall Street and are happy to remain in Mississippi, Arkansas, ect. Also it's good from students that like to party and want be athletes.

    It's definitely worth the money that you're paying for. It's not too expensive yet I know I'll learn as much as I can, and I'll have a good time while I'm there.

    This school is usually known for its party atmosphere, but if you get into the right classes, especially the Honors College, you can learn a lot from this school. The professors whom I have talked with seem very educated and enthusiastic about their job, which usually means they will ensure that you will learn everything that you need to know and more.
    Will enjoy being here

    I felt at home on campus, which is very beautiful with tons of trees and large areas to hang out with friends or study on a nice day. Everyone I came in contact with was very friendly and helpful.
    Bang for the buck

    I believe that this school has a reasonable tuition price for today's standards. The school is well-kept as far as nice buildings and cut grass. The teachers are well-educated, helpful, and want to make sure that the students are learning. Also, I believe that most people will fit in somewhere. The four years spent at this school, making memories while learning, will be worth the price.

    Ole Miss is a little expensive, but it gives you the best of both worlds as they say. It's a big school and a small school put into one.
    Tips for prospective students

    Although some people go to Ole Miss to party, it is a serious school. They have an excellent pharmacy, pre-med, and law school to start. You should be prepared to work but know that you need to have some fun sometimes, and people will most definitely help you have fun.

    The University of Mississippi has a highly qualified staff. All of the different schools on campus are equipped with faculty that are passionate about the subjects they teach. Being in a classroom with teachers that are interested in their subject provides an excellent learning environment. The professors also make themselves available for help outside the classroom as well as suggesting additional resources that will help with mastering course material.
    Am enjoying being here

    Oxford is the perfect college town. It is full of history and includes unique and interesting shops, restaurants, and local establishments. Aside from Oxford's charm, the University of Mississippi campus is absolutely beautiful year-round. The Ole Miss family is also very welcoming. From being in the Grove during football season to the person sitting next to you in class, the Ole Miss community helps anyone feel right at home.
    Bang for the buck

    The University of Mississippi is definitely worth the money. It guarantees to put its graduates in the best position for finding jobs, being accepted into graduate and professional schools, and being prepared for whatever future faces them.
    Tips for prospective students

    My best advice for prospective Ole Miss students is to be prepared to study. The curriculum can be challenging, but it is doable. Another piece of advice I would give is to learn how to balance. Oxford, and Ole Miss too, offer numerous opportunities for clubs, on-campus organizations, and other extracurricular activities, but if you get too involved in outside activities your grades will drop. It is most important to learn how to balance school and fun, which varies for different people, and the sooner you do the better.
    Great for these types of students

    Ole Miss is great for students interested in studying medicine, dentistry, pharmacy, accountancy, business, law, public policy, journalism, etc. It is great for students who want to go to a university, but not one where they will get lost and just become a part of the crowd. Ole Miss is a small community, but it is still big enough to not feel constrained.

    I am learning alot from the teachers I have. They are hard if you do not try or study basically for some classes you may have to teach yourself. Do not think English is going to be easy in college because it was in high school that is a big mistake I made. Be prepared to think and work hard. But another plus is teachers will help you pass their class with letting you do work over and turn it in for a brand new grade which is personally great!
    Am enjoying being here

    On the campus it is never boring every day their is some sort of entertainment in the union or something going on. On the weekends for home games it is pretty full and awesome to go to the grove. And most people go later to the Square or other places.
    Bang for the buck

    It is worth the money which is alot. Be prepared to come to the University and pay for everything pretty much. That is the only negative thing I find is that the student pays for pretty much everything. Make sure if you plan on coming here to get scholarships to help with books and extra money in your pocket.
    Tips for prospective students

    The tips I have is when you come to college do not try to overload yourself with hours you have plenty of time. Get everything handled before you come to college as in financial aid so you don't have to stay in the offices. Because they do be full especially at the beginning of the school year. Learn how to balance partying and studying or that will be the death of you figuratively speaking. But basically just have your head on right and don't rush.

    ole miss is the greatest school in the nation. i could not be happier walking through the grove or the circle or studying under peddle-yates chapel. ole miss is truly my home.
    Tips for prospective students

    be prepared for football games--they are amazing. nothing is better than waking up saturday morning and cruising the grove. also prepare for greek rush--it's a big deal.
    Academic Rigor

    the rigor of class is dependent on the level of class you take. my writing 101 class is easy but my french 211 is rather challenging.
    Dorm Life

    it all depends on who your neighbors are. it can make life amazing or awful.
    Food and Dining

    the best breakfast is at magnolia kitchen and really good turkey sausage at the jc. there are a lot of options for meat lovers, a fair amount of choices for vegetarians, but little completely vegan options.
    What to do for fun

    whatever you like, you can find it here. the turner center is the greatest part of campus and the groups are endless. sports, church, exercise and gaming clubs can be seen all over campus all the time.

    rather big here. this year, the sororities had nearly 2000 girls rush. i suggest doing it because it is an experience, even if you decide not to join an organization.
