The University of Mississippi is rich in tradition and academic opportunities. However they also know how to have fun which is evident on game days and in greek life. Most importantly, they have many resources to help you find a career after college.
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
Before you apply visit, if possible on a game weekend. Not only will you see a majority of the student body, but also a majority of the alumni. You'll see the traditions that the campus thrives of us and get to experience an amazing atmosphere. Make sure to wear Sunday's Best!
Do you find there’s enough academic rigor at your school?
In all honesty, it depends on your major. Sure there are some majors that aren't known to be as rigorous as others. But every degree from here can get you a job.
Describe the dorm life at your college.
In all honesty, anywhere you go dorms will be dorms. They're what you make out of them. At Ole Miss unless you're in the residential college, only freshman stay in dorms. And besides the honors dorms, they're not co-ed.
Describe the food and dining at your college.
The food's actually pretty good. I didn't give it 5 stars because the lack of places. There's basically a food court and two dining halls, which isn't always enough for the large student population.
What’s there to do for fun at your college?
There's something for everyone. There's intramural sports, greek life, gamers club, just to name a few. The night life in Oxford is good on the square and for sure at the fraternity parties. However there's also plenty to do if partying is not your scene.
Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?
For the education you're receiving, the price is not bad at all. The University of Mississippi is very generous with scholarships, which makes it affordable for out of state students as well.

Which types of students will excel at your college?
Basically anyone can succeed here, in my opinion. You can make it small or big, depending on how you choose to network.
Are you involved in any clubs or activities?
There's a wide variety, I know friends that enjoy the gamers club, and other's that love the intramural sports. There's a bit of everything.
Are you involved in any clubs or activities?
The University of Mississippi is known to have some of the best Greek Life in the country. Going through recruitment is a bit stressful, but the ultimate result is worth it. I would look into going through recruitment because as a freshman at times, it does seem really important. However there is also a good chunk of campus not involved in Greek Life.
How would you describe campus safety? Do you feel safe on campus?
I have never once had a problem with safety on campus. I go for walks at night and never feel threatened. The campus and town are very safe.
