Ole Miss Tupelo

Ole Miss Tupelo campus in Tupelo, MS is a Jr./Sr. level college. The local community college (Itawamba Community College) is in front of the extension campus. There is a good amount of ethnic diversity at this small school. The class sizes are generally small, about 10-25 students. However, there is a lack of religious diversity. This is the Bible Belt, so there are a lot of Baptists, Methodists, Pentecostal, etc, but not many Catholics, Muslims, Jewish. There is also a lack of knowledge about the world outside of Mississippi among the students. Sexual Orientation acceptance has made leaps and bounds here. People are more open and willing to accept you in the younger generations. It is the older generations (50+) that one would have to look for any kind of racism, sexism, etc. Aside from this, it is a wonderful school. The teachers are always willing to help you succeed. The staff members are the nicest people you will ever meet. The curriculum is hard, but fair. The school makes sure its students are prepared to enter the workforce with competitive attitudes. I love the campus and cannot wait to graduate.
