The University of Mississippi

I came to Ole Miss because of a generous scholarship, and with the hope that I would find compatible, interesting friends and faculty. Unfortunately, that has not been the case. The Greek system here really is as ostentatious as any rumors you might have heard, and rush activities dominate the campus. Outside the Greek system, however, I still have found the student body to be, frankly, uninspiring. The student agenda is to party hard while here (weeknights too), prominently display wealth and social standing, and prepare boys for governmental or business jobs, and girls to marry the boys. I am not adapting well because I don't think the confederate flag should still fly over Mississippi, dislike country music, and would enjoy a more open attitude towards diversity. More importantly, however; I want intellectual stimulation. If that is what you too are looking for (fancy that! In college?!), well - look elsewhere.
