Unless you are rich, good looking, white, and end up in a sorority or fraternity this is not the place for you. There's not much to do once football season is over. Here's some words I use to describe the people at UM based on interactions with students, faculty, and especially the administration, i.e. people who run the place...pretentious, discriminatory, uncaring, unprofessional, reactive, outdated, elitist, unethical, aloof, unskilled, and most important pretentious (yes it's worth mentioning twice).
Perceived Campus Safety: B, Individual Value: F

Coming to Ole Miss was easily the worst decision of my life. I am sure UM supporters will jump at the chance to label me the nerd, outcast, Northerner, and the like. On the contrary, I am a sociable, intelligent, well-spoken, well-traveled, attractive female, and I can say in perfect honesty that Ole Miss offers nothing for me. I have wasted thousands in out-of-state tuition to come here for a prestigious program, and indeed, it has been challenging and worth my effort. But every other aspect of this school is draining and mind-numbing. There are no interesting people. I am sick of the lack of individuality. Ole Miss is the poster child for groupthink. I am sick of the herds of sorority girls with bleached hair and ill-fitting clothes who tell me about how difficult their hospitality management major is and how much they want to study abroad in France or Italy on Daddy's money. I am not a bitter or angry person, nor have I ever been, but Ole Miss has turned me into the most cynical person. No one here has anything interesting or provocative to say, most people here will aspire to nothing. Ole Miss is an expensive extended version of high school, and a complete waste of time.

My school has EXCELLENT night life, social life, and other fun things to do everyday of the week. The campus looks great, the women look great. We have arguably the best greek life in the nation, and we have the best tailgating in the nation. However, the little things suck ass. Like parking, there is a huge shortage of parking on campus. Plus, Construction, throughout my whole freshman year they started construction on my dorm. They were supposed to be done at the end of the first semester, but it will not be done until the end of the year. They are supposed to not start until 9 o'clock in the morning, but they usually start around 7. And the work they do is NOT quiet. I've heard sledge hammers banging on the wall right outside my window, drills, bricks falling continuously, and machines running. Plainly put, CONSTRUCTION SUCKS!!!!
Education Quality: A+, Useful Schoolwork: B+
