This is a beautiful campus with great energy! Very historical town with beautiful architecture and southern charm. Be sure to visit "The Grove"located on campus for an extra treat during spring and summer months when trees and flowers are in full bloom.
As a northerner I never really thought about the traditions that go along with a school like Ole Miss. What a stunningly beautiful campus! Everything about it speaks of all the tradition that is here. Most impressive for me was the statue of James Meredith. Ole Miss is not hiding its past, but embracing it and moving forward. A very impressive place!
Ole Miss is many things, but I will comment on two items of interest to me. First, I wanted to see the original building, the Lyceum, completed in 1848 as the first building of Ole Miss when it opened. This is the place where Federal troops overcame a riot to enable James Meredith, the first African-American, to enroll in Ole Miss. And second, I wanted to visit the University Museum (located at University Avenue and 5th Street) to see its Collection of 19th Century Scientific Instruments used to teach university students from 1848 to 1861. While there, I discovered the Collection of Greek and Roman Antiquities covering the period from 1500 B.C. to 300 A.D., one of the finest collections in the South. If you like either of these, you need to visit
Attended here from 2004-2006 to finish a BA in education. Beautiful campus, wonderful professors and many different student opportunities, even for the non-traditional student!
Whitman was a great tour guide, impressed with the university. Has a lot of tradition with a small town atmosphere.
We love walking around the Ole Miss campus. I definitely recommend walking into Bryant Hall--a beautiful inside right on the Circle.
The Grove is the setting for tailgating during the games and a pleasant, relaxing place to picnic, stroll, and toss a frisby or a ball. The trees are magnificent. The University itself is walkable and has a great library.
We are new in the area, and big sports fans, so my husband took to me to this famous spot. The campus was beautiful! Traffic was being directed very well and it was a pretty drive.
What a beautiful little town in a beautiful campus. The tour was very good and our tour guide very knowledgeable of the school and it's history.
I went there as well as my son. Wonderful life experiences. Still go back there for football season. Gertrude Ford center provides many cultural attractions
