The University of Mississippi offers "world-class programs and faculty," along with "'bigtime' SEC athletics in the safe, quaint, and picturesque town of Oxford." It's a community that values traditions and fosters school spirit, making students "proud to have graduated from Ole Miss." There is "a highly academic side to Ole Miss that many outsiders do not see." The Honors College provides "unparalleled academic opportunities, such as beginning research as a freshman." In addition, many students cite the business and international studies programs as standouts. With over 100 majors available, "there is something for a person with any interest here." Classes at Ole Miss are "informative but also engaging and dynamic," attending classes is critical because professors "add much more than the textbook has to offer." Students appreciate how professors go above and beyond, both in the classroom and outside of it. Whether it's being available for office hours or helping connect students with internships, most of the professors here "hit the ball out of the park." In addition, some professors organize discussion groups, dinners, and other events to help "develop our ability to speak academically in a non-academic setting." At Ole Miss, you'll find a supportive environment where many services "are cheap if not free," the school "puts on many programs that bring together lots of different people of different backgrounds." As one student sums up, "The teachers care, the university cares, [and] the students all care about the school and what it stands for."

Ole Miss is "a blend of Southern charm and laid-back manners" in "a small-town" setting, where "studying for your next exam over a glass of sweet tea is a common practice." And students say their peers are good at balancing "decent grades and an extravagant social life." While students some note a divide between undergraduates who participate in Greek life and those who don't, others point out the wide range of personalities on campus, assuring that "you can find a group of friends without much effort. As one student elaborates, "You'll hear the term the 'Ole Miss family,' and it won't seem forced or strange." Overall, Ole Miss is a close community of students with "open minds" who "really want to be active in making changes in the world."

Life at Ole Miss "is always super busy" on this lively campus. While "school and grades are a very important aspect of life" and there is "a lot of work," the university also provides numerous extracurricular activities and "a lot of opportunities for fun." Sports are a big part of campus life: "During football season, the Grove consumes our weekends. It's an amazing experience!" While "known for its Greek life" and "great parties," the school has a wide variety of extracurriculars to get involved in. Students say it's a common misconception that "most people's minds revolve around drinking, college football, and church on Sunday." For example, students love events like the "Thacker Mountain Radio on Thursdays and poetry readings monthly at Proud Larry's," as well as live music. Students enjoy Oxford's "small, hometown feel" and frequently spend time in the Square, which offers restaurants, shopping, bars, and live music. With all the fun campus events and exploring the local scene, "there is never a dull moment, especially on the weekends."
