My daughter enrolled at Alabama and did not apply to Ole Miss. Generally speaking, our Alabama tour was very personalized while our Ole Miss tour was not. Additionally, for engineers, there were not any cohort programs at Ole Miss. Also, Ole Miss felt extremely southern while Alabama has over 50% of students from OOS. The honors colleges/programs were structured very differently. The campus layouts were extremely different. Ole Miss was just not the right fit for my daughter. What did your daughter think of the two schools?
We absolutely loved downtown Oxford, and The Grove was beautiful. Also, I loved the Mustard Seed, a store in Oxford.
