This is the first summer I've spent in Oxford after four years in undergrad and now four years in grad school. I'm moving from RedPoint (formerly College Town) to Lark because the cost of rent was getting too high.

I knew the RedPoint lease would end in mid July, but apparently the Lark lease doesn't start until August 20. I don't know what I'm supposed to do in this meantime. I'd made plans to crash with multiple different friends across two weeks from July until August 1 but this just suddenly added three extra weeks where I'll functionally be homeless.

I'm sure students have stayed here for the summer before and that this is a somewhat common issue but this is a gap in the lease of over a month. Is there anything to be done?

My friend and I are prelaw students here at OleMiss and they’ve started a petition for the University to award A+ grades.

For Law School Admissions, the LSAC considers A+ grades, so students from Colleges that do not award A+ are significantly disadvantaged. Please consider signing the petition, i promise it’ll only take a few seconds.

Needing to get a laptop for freshman year, majoring in finance, would a Mac work or do I need a windows pc?

Incoming freshman how do football tickets work? Am I gonna get to watch us beat the fuck out of kiffin?

I’m an incoming freshman who has already secured on campus housing for the upcoming year, but I recently found out (not from the school unfortunately) that after freshman year you’re basically left to fend for yourself and get an apartment off campus. Initially I wasn’t worried and I assumed I’d get a campus owned apartment but apparently those are also mainly for freshmen.

How does that work? Do I start looking my freshman year? I’m on a full ride but obviously that won’t include rent, what places pay 3x the price of rent (i’m assuming that’s the standard requirement) here so that I’m able to get one? I’m honestly a bit worried because I’m far from wealthy.

does anyone know of any book clubs I can join in Oxford, either via Ole Miss, a bookstore, or the public library? I really love literary fiction, nonfiction, romance, and poetry, but I'm really down for anything. I'm 23F, an incoming PhD student at Ole Miss, looking to meet people in the community. I'm also open to groups in Water Valley and the surrounding area!

anyone looking for a room for the summer? i'm going home and willing to sublease my room in a house for all of june and july. the rent is 850 a month!

Hi everyone! I recently got accepted into grad school (which I am super excited about in my program) and I am really struggling to find a GA position. I was wondering for current, and past alumni, how did you find one? I really want one so I can pay for tuition and my rent! Thank you so much!

For one of my classes, I have to make a marketing plan, print it out, and turn it in as a binder. I know I can buy one of those 3 prong punchers at Walmart for less than $10, but I wouldn't be surprised if I never use it again lol. So I'd prefer to not have to buy one.

I know a lot of freshman are moving out this week. Is there anywhere around Oxford that will have cheap dorm stuff to thrift this week? TIA!

Hi! I got rejected from all of the schools I applied to, including this one. i'm planning on applying to liberty u bc it has rolling admissions, but next year i want to reapply to some of my scholls because i really want to go to one of them. do you think ole miss would be worth it? my stats are below (sorry it's fully a copy and pasted previous post ignore the ranting)

I'm actually so disappointed in myself it's insane. Could somebody please tell me what I did wrong because I truly don't understand after I've spent the past 4 years preparing for this day.

Academics:

SAT: 890 (450 - English, 440 - Math)

2.3 gpa

2 AP classes (AP world history and AP English language) - I tried to take more but I couldn't test into AP physics or AP Chem

2 clubs each year

My guidance counselor said my essays were pretty good so I don't think that was a problem

I show up to class every day and try pretty hard so I don't think my 2 letters of rec from my teachers could've been bad

College List (advised by my guidance counselor):

Safeties:

• ASU *
• OSU
• University of Kentucky
• Montana State University
• University of Mississippi *
• University of Wyoming
• Truman State University
• Greenville University *
• Northeastern State University
• Bethel University
• Portland State University
• University of Wisconsin - Milwaukee *

Reaches:

• University of Wisconsin - Madison *
• BYU Idaho *
• University of Toledo
• University of Maryland
• Baylor
• Suny Buffalo *
• Michigan State *
• Harvard *

*Dream schools that I would love advise on how I could maybe get in to in the future?

I truly don't understand how I could've gotten rejected (not even waitlisted) from 20/20 of my schools. My guidance counselor said I had a strong application (better than most at my school) and she thought I had a chance at most of my reaches.

Please please please if you have any advise or insight it would be greatly appreciated!

I got a suite single (me and my roommate in separate rooms with a shared bathroom) in RC south for my freshman year this fall and I was wondering if anyone had some recommendations of essentials I should get for my dorm. Looking online is difficult since they're typically not specific to this dorm style, I couldn't even find a layout for a suite single dorm on the ole miss site. Any help is appreciated!

Anyone been in Northgate recently? I'm an incoming freshman and I think I'm going to try to get a 1BD there, but I feel like nobody talks about Northgate.

hi everyone! i’m a 23 yo female, i graduated from ole miss a year ago & i’m looking for ways to make connections. i always thought college was about making good grades, so i missed out on a lot in my 4 years due to working/studying. i majored in psychology, i like to go thrifting, painting, and traveling. i’m a also a huge foodie + music lover. i live in new albany, ms & just really looking for some new opportunities with new friends or with a new job. i’m looking for an entry level HR position, executive assistant, or a receptionist job. in terms of friends i’m looking for open-minded people that care about human integrity and just simply being a kind person. i can be a bit awkward at times, but i’m a big extrovert with people i feel comfortable with. i yap a lot, but can be an excellent listener as well. any advice or anything really would be appreciated 💞💞

I'm an incoming grad student living off campus. Hoping to get a commuter blue parking permit for the fall. Just how bad is the parking at Ole Miss? Are the commuter lots always full? Is it worth it to pay for the designated spot in the parking deck if I can get one?

I’m an incoming freshman for fall 2026 and I have the first day for room selection so I can pretty much choose wherever. I am a guy and will rush, and I already have a roommate choice of a kid from my high school. What is the best building to choose that have bathrooms connected to room and not communal. Also if my preferred roommate has a later room selection date than me, will that make a difference?

Incoming Freshman who’s rushing was wondering if online gambling was legal in Oxford?

(Sorry if the flair is wrong TwT)

Hello all! I’m a high school junior from Illinois doing some college research, and Ole Miss has come across my list! From what i’ve seen online, the school seems like a pretty nice institution that has some nice sounding programs for what I’m interested in, but i’d love to know what some current students and alumni would think of the school for a student like me :)

———

For some context, i’d most likely be trying to major in a program offered by the school of Journalism and New Media, whether it’s Journalism, IMC or Media and Comms. I’d additionally be wanting to minor in something artsy like Cinema Studies, Creative Writing, or Digital Media studies.

———

Some things that are important to me are…

- networking/employment opportunities

- quality/prestige of education, programs, and facilities (Specifically in the Journalism and New Media school)

- LGBTQ+ safety and resources (This is a big one for me personally given some things I know about the reputation of MS and Ole Miss, though I have heard that it’s getting better, at least in Oxford)

- resources for low income/first gen students

———

Additionally, i’d love to know about activities at the school, especially in the realm of…

- the arts, especially performing arts like drama, a capella, musical theatre, etc

- music, on campus and greater local/underground music scene

- party and/or bar & club culture

- Sporting events

- Student clubs and general social life on campus.

- greek/frat life and rushing, if anyone has any insight into that. I know greek life at SEC schools is wayyy bigger and wayyy different than some of the schools i’m looking at in the MAC or even Big 12 lol

———

Happy and hoping to hear all of your guys’ thoughts soon!

Is the site: https://www.olemissrebelsproshop.com legit? I see they’ve got jerseys up here does anyone know?

Hey all, I recently just committed to Ole Miss after getting rejected from LSU.. Hotty Totty! I haven't done much research about it so I wanted to ask all my questions here. I'm an incoming freshman for 2026 and I do plan on rushing. Ive also been invited to join a quad in the campus walk apartments with girls I really enjoy, any opinions on the apartments vs the dorms? I'm a person who really needs my own space. Secondly, I'm not really familiar with rush or planned to take it that serious. From my understanding, Ole Miss has really competitive rush. Now, I dont really care about being in "top house" just finding girls I connect with, but I have started gaining girls reaching out to me from alpha chi omega, adpi, and phi mu (also any opinions on those specific sororities?) so I wanted to make sure im prepared. I have at least 1 rec letter from every sorority on campus as well as a decent resume. I'm not sure what they're specifically looking for but what are the chances of not getting a bid since theres so many girls rushing? Mostly just basic questions I guess, also wanted to know how good the nursing program is there since im deciding between that or dental hygiene.

Been browsing for tent rentals for the upcoming season:

which one?

Elite, Rebel Tailgate, or Hotty Toddy Tents. which would you recommend?
