How is Ole Miss a racist term?

Ole Miss is what slaves called the wife of their owner. It was proposed as the name of the yearbook to “honor” those women.

Wants a big SEC school with a happy campus vibe. Not sure on greek life but would be open to it. We are conservative and he does attend church. He had taken practice SAT and is currently 1450 practice. Have read nice things about Ole Miss but would love to get feedback from current families. Interested in hearing about campus including how do you get there? Housing and food. Greek life and what to expect. Internships for accounting major. Thank you

Klantastic!

Alabama is rolling admissions too, so you can apply as soon as it opens and get a decision quickly. Another thing about Alabama is they have a very nice scholarship program that attracts a lot of high stat students that want to go to school for free. Auburn is not a safety but could be a Target and they have 3 EA rounds so could know mid September if you apply right away. Then you could have 2 decisions before most EA deadlines. UK has gotten pretty popular as a choice for many who have been shut out from Auburn, utk and UofSC since they have gotten much more competitive.

My DC applied to Auburn early and got a response before the EA deadline for other schools. He ended up going somewhere else, but he would have been happy at Auburn (it ended up being his second choice) so that was his “safety” and it was nice to be able to focus on targets and reaches.

convince him to consider non SEC schools. not a good sign that he is basing education on a sports conference.

or at least consider rah rah sports schools from other conferences. VT, Clemson (very conservative), Indiana, OH state, Penn state
