Carson Carter

Why did you choose to attend UM?

I chose to attend Ole Miss because my dad went here, and I wanted to follow in his footsteps while also starting my own legacy. When I came for orientation, Ole Miss immediately felt like home, and I knew it was the perfect place for me.

What can you tell a high school student about your FASTrack experience?

My FASTrack experience has been really rewarding! It’s a program that allows you to connect with a community of students who are all eager to succeed, and you get the chance to work closely with faculty and staff.  Plus, the program offers a lot of resources and support to help you stay on track academically. If you’re someone who likes structure and having a built-in support system, FASTrack could be an awesome opportunity.

What is one thing you wish you knew as an incoming freshman that you'd tell your past self?

One thing I wish I knew as an incoming freshman is to step out of my comfort zone right away. Don’t wait—everyone is new and looking for new friends and experiences, just like you. It’s easy to hold back, but the sooner you start putting yourself out there, the more opportunities you'll find to grow and connect with others. Take the chances, even if they feel a little intimidating at first—it’s worth it!
