Ole Miss is the best school in the South. Most beautiful campus in the country, Oxford has lots to do and amazing food. Great sports year-round, fantastic academics. Especially the accounting school, which is top ten in the nation.

Hello, I spent few years at University of Mississippi on my undergrad. Unfortunately, it did not meet my expectation that eventually I transferred to another school with better educational service. University of Mississippi (OleMiss) fails to provide proper education and guidance to students. I would never go back there again. Avoid this school.

This was a tough year for ole miss. We’ve suffered from student deaths. I would say they are mostly a result of the terrible drivers on and off campus. Oxford is too small of a town for the number of students ole miss accepts and it’s only getting worse. After your freshman you’re basically screwed on housing. Good luck trying to find housing
