Overall ExperienceWhat's This?

Overall, students don’t want to leave Ole Miss or Oxford, even after they graduate. There are many students who choose to get additional degrees just so they don’t have to leave. The University provides almost everything one could want in a college experience. There are great sporting events that are heavily attended by the student body. There’s a hopping nightlife. There are many religions and church denominations. There’s a supportive faculty, a beautiful campus, and interesting classes. The job rate for recent graduates is very high and offers salaries that are competitive with other SEC schools.

If there’s something students say they would change about their Ole Miss experience, it’s typically that Oxford doesn’t have some of the conveniences, such as a mall, which other campuses in larger cities have. For most, this minor inconvenience is counteracted by Memphis, Tupelo, and Jackson being so close to Oxford. Many students credit Ole Miss with making them who they are and say they have fond memories that will last a lifetime from a place that remain with them forever.

Ole Miss Is Beautiful

I've never been to a campus so pretty all year round. I attended a private school in St Louis, MO right after high school. I thought it was awesome until I arrived on campus at Ole Miss. The recreational faciality is state of the art. All the athletic venues rate as class A. Classrooms and labs are really nice. The university works extremely hard at the upkeep with freshly planted flowers.

The Nightlife RULES!!

With all the night spots located in one area, it makes a night on the square one to remember everytime you go. With sports bars to dance clubs, one is to surely find what ones looking for. You can walk, take a cab or park in one of the many parking lots around the town square it makes Oxford's Town Square a spot to hit. Plus, one can not complain about how pretty the girls are at Ole Miss.
