Rating 4 out of 5
My overall experience with the university of Mississippi has been great. As a black African-American woman attending the university of Mississippi, Id say I have a lot of opportunities at the University of Mississippi. The professors are understanding and very helpful. There are a lot of organizations for everyone. Although there aren’t many people of my race at the University of Mississippi, I have not experience experienced any diversity or discrimination. I think that the university of Mississippi is a great place for all students from around the world.

The University of Mississippi was a great choice for me in furthering my education for social work. The classwork was manageable, and the professors were top of the line! I would highly recommend the college for anyone, especially those looking to further their social work degree.

My overall experience at the University of Mississippi was a mix of highs and lows. I absolutely loved the vibrant campus life, the community spirit, and the beautiful setting. The school's traditions and student activities made my time there truly memorable. However, I did face some challenges with a few professors who weren't the best at conveying their material, which made learning a bit difficult. Additionally, my room had a leaking issue, which was pretty inconvenient and annoying. Despite these setbacks, the positive aspects of my experience outweighed the negatives, and I still have a lot of fond memories from my time there. If you're considering Ole Miss, I'd say there's a lot to love, but it's worth being aware that like any university, there might be a few bumps along the way.
