Christmas radio/worried dad:

Don’t mean to be contrary, but I had a client who I believe taught at University of Mississippi, and hated the place.

Of course, that doesn’t mean it’s not a good place. It’s just one story.

But use that information for what it is worth.

I also saw a recent post on cc by an asian girl who visited University of South Carolina, and she said she hated it as well, and that kids on a school bus actually made anti-asian remarks and gestures as it rolled by. As if she were some sort of alien from outer space.

So there indeed might be culture shock.

I am from the north, and have lived in Atlanta and Houston and Tampa, and did not, in general, like the people or culture.

So I would explore this issue further. Perhaps one final visit, and not just for one day.

With 40 million colleges in the Boston area, I don’t see the need to go to Mississippi, unless she has some specific and important reason she wants to go there.
