This Yankee just moved down south this summer. Three things I have figured out so far: 1.People here are very nice and expect others to be as well. 2. Colleges are chosen by their football teams, not academics. 4. Sports really do trump academics, or at least it seems that way by the late night football games for all ages, even on school nights! From what the locals tell me about Ole Miss, not surprised about the fancy dorm decor. Wonder what the boys dorms are like??
