Hey folks, potential southern college student here! Ole Miss is definitely on my list of potential colleges. I know it's in Mississippi, but could anyone tell me where exactly Ole Miss University is located? Just trying to get a better sense of what my future might look like. Cheers!
Sure! Ole Miss, officially known as the University of Mississippi, is located in Oxford, Mississippi. Oxford is in the northern part of the state, about an 1.5 hour drive southeast of Memphis, Tennessee. It's known for its quaint, small-town charm, with a lively downtown square full of local shops and restaurants. The campus itself is known for its Southern Gothic architecture and its lush landscaping. Oxford's location in the South affords it a relatively mild winter, but can get quite humid in the summer. The college town also boasts a rich history as a Southern cultural hub. Hope this gives you a bit of insight into what life might be like at Ole Miss!
