Low Morale for Football Team; High Campus Involvement

this past season has been one of the worst in school history. our football team has fallen flat on its face, metaphorically and physically speaking. the head coach was recently fired as well as the athletic directer asked to step down, so promise and hope are right around the corner. until then, the fan base and support from students and alumni are at a bare minimum. personal athletics, which includes intramural sports and using the gym, which is on campus, is in full swing. many students attend the Turner Center, either for racquet ball game, swimming match, quick workout, play basketball, or just a jog around the running track. numerous students take advantage of staying healthy and fit by using the Turner Center, which is complete with brand new and up to date equipment.

Off-Campus Housing at University of Mississippi

Good Availability

Good availability, but a lot of apartment complex aren't too skilled as matching roommates up. Otherwise, the only other issue is utility prices and the way they gouge you for every last public service. $100 for this, $200 for that. It's obnoxious. You can sense they're taking advantage of the college students.

Very Safe Campus!

I have never felt unsafe at the University of Mississippi and have only gotten positive vibes while on the lovely campus. There are MANY cops roaming the town of Oxford which is reassuring but also a drag if in the wrong state of mind. Just be smart and you'll be absolutely fine.
