Ole Miss embodies scholarly culture and the vibrant personality of the Deep South

Rural Public Top-Ranking SEC Historic Rebels

Most commonly known by the moniker Ole Miss, the University of Mississippi has long been recognized as one of the South’s most prestigious academic institutions, with its stately campus steeped in rich history and tradition. The campus culture is largely dominated by major student activities: more than a third of the student population are members of Greek organizations, and the university’s sports program attracts a huge fan base statewide. Most of the major university buildings are clustered near the central portion of campus; however, if you’ll be frequenting the Law Center, you may want to rent an apartment or house near the west side of the campus. A few short blocks to the east, Downtown Oxford is packed with specialty shops, unique restaurants, and nightlife hotspots to suit any taste, student and non-student alike. Oxford has numerous budget-friendly rental options available, but you will definitely pay a premium to live near the campus, especially around the Downtown area.
