Mary from Shreveport, LA
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.
Elizabeth from Oxford, MS
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!
Megan from Houston, TX
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.
Kristen from Ridgeland, MS
If you try hard and keep up with your course work you will be fine. Some teachers are great; others can be kind of boring.
Alison from Utica, MS
Professors are great and you will do fine as long as you go to classes.
Eric from South Plainfield, NJ
The University of Mississippi is highly regarded within many national rankings for its many departments including their honors college. Besides the leading and competitive academics, Ole Miss boasts being ranked one of the most beautiful campus to visit. You will definitely find this upon your visit, especially if it includes a visit to the Grove during football season!
Christina from Naperville, IL
Ole Miss has a lot to offer, and their advanced courses are difficult but interesting. They will definitely push you.
