[quote=Anonymous]I graduated from Ole Miss in the late 2000’s, and it was…an experience.

I think the education is absolutely what you make of it, and there are a whole lot of really smart kids there. Honestly, it surprised me when I arrived. Particularly those enrolled in the honors college often end up with pretty sweet jobs after graduation, though many came from MS and stay local thereafter so definitions of “sweet job” many vary based on geography. Some of the faculty are great, others are less great. I found that I had to really ask for help when I needed it, and there were professors that never made themselves very available, though I’m sure that’s the case everywhere.

There were wonderful things about my time there, and Oxford is a magical place (see above comment re the grove). But I was one of those kids who was excluded during rush, solely because one person who was 3 years ahead of me in high school at home held a grudge and made sure I was cut quick, and that I knew who made it happen. It was horrible, but I think it made me a better human being and my skin has been pretty thick since, which has served me well in life.

It can be great and tons of people leave after 4 (or 5) years having had the best time of their lives. If you’re not one of those people, however, it sorta feels cut throat every day and that’s no fun.[/quote]
