In Oxford, people encounter a campus and a town that approaches life and learning with zeal. A sense of anticipation is palpable from your first steps in the Grove, extending into interactive classrooms, the rousing grandstands of a Southeastern Conference athletics event or the first time you exclaim “Hotty Toddy!” Strong relationships, dynamic events, beloved pastimes, and new perspectives ignite dreams and create memories and friendships that last for life.

This is the University of Mississippi. This is Ole Miss.
