As a fellow Bostonian, I fully understand that some of us can be snappy around here in the city and believe me, I love Beantown, but I’m pretty sure that after college I’ll settle for the less-neurotic, sunny atmosphere of LA where I want to live for a little while.

Anyhow, I digress. Ole Miss is definitely VERY friendly, as the Southerners are extremely famous for their kindness. I don’t see the problem in going there from around here – We all need a change of pace once in a while, and there is no “culture shock” – Rather, you just adapt to the mellow way of life in the Southern academia. Most definitely, more OOS are coming in, and it’s becoming increasingly popular. Your daughter won’t have a problem – If she likes it, then she’ll have wonderful opportunities in a new, adaptable environment where she can get a great education. I have a Indian friend from NJ at Ole Miss, and he LOVES it – He doesn’t see no culture shock – Just fantastic opportunities for his biology interests ;).

Good luck!
