“I love the people here at Ole Miss, especially the international community.

Not only is there always something fun to do, but there is always someone fun to do it with! The Ole Miss community has been very welcoming. This is a great place to experience a typical American college campus.”

We have over 400 student organizations, so there is something for everyone (or create a new group yourself!). Student organizations help you find like-minded classmates to feel at home and make new friends.

Many students attend athletic events, such as football and baseball games, play intramural sports, host cultural nights, join the Esports Team, attend lectures and cinema nights, or get involved in the local community! Oxford, Mississippi, is a cultural center of Mississippi and home to independent bookstores, local award-winning restaurants, clubs, and social events.
