I've been looking into the University of Mississippi. Does anyone know about the student population there? Large? Small? Diverse? Any info would be helpful.
The University of Mississippi, commonly known as Ole Miss, does boast a fairly sizable student population. As of the most recent data available, the total enrollment is around 25,000 students, with a majority being undergraduates.
In terms of diversity, the University of Mississippi has made significant efforts recently to improve inclusivity and diversity on campus, although it's perennially a work in progress. Data on the student body on the basis of race and ethnicity indicates a diverse population, albeit the majority of students are still white.
It's also worth noting that Ole Miss has students not just from all 50 states, but also from several countries worldwide, contributing to a diverse cultural environment. All these factors combined make the campus a vibrant and dynamic place.
One recommendation would be to visit the campus (if possible) or attend a virtual tour to get a better feel of the student population and the environment, as nothing can replace a personal experience.
