I'm considering Ole Miss for college, but I don't know much about Mississippi. Where's Ole Miss exactly located in the state?
Ole Miss, officially known as the University of Mississippi, is located in Oxford, Mississippi. Oxford is in the North Central part of the state, quite close to the state's border with Tennessee. The area is known for its Southern charm and cultural richness, with a strong focus on music, literature, and the visual arts. It's also about an hour and a half drive south of Memphis, Tennessee, which can offer more urban amenities and attractions if you're up for a short trip.
