University of Mississippi Top Questions

What do you consider the worst thing about University of Mississippi? Why?

Ashley

The worst thing about my school would have to be the distance between buildings. There is a ton of walking to class and food places from my dorm, but I get a good exercise in daily.

Alaina

I don't really know. You really can't ride a bike on the campus due to being so many steep hills.

Grace

The closed-mindedness of the student body.

It was once the most racist school ever and it is still known for it even though the school has came a long way.

Caroline

Currently, we are undergoing the reconstruction of the older residential dorms on campus. The construction trucks, trash chutes, and debris block at least a dozen parking spots just in my dorm alone. We are constantly being disturbed by construction workers walking throughout our building. At times that we would like to sleep in the mornings and study in the afternoons, the obnoxious banging and booming keeps us from doing so. This is very beneficial to our expanding study body, but I think the best times to work on such a large project is over winter and summer break.

The racism. It is not loud or obvious racism, but there is subtle racism among the admistration and the student body. There is a lot of racial ignorance and insensitivity here. The conservatism here is very strong. Do not go to Ole Miss if you are very liberal and outspoken. You will go crazy. Ole Miss ignores many important social issues like poverty, racism, sexism, and lgbt issues in their university.

Cara

I think a lot of people at my school take everything for granted. They expect to get everything handed to them so they do not take academics as seriously as they should. Also, Greek Life is way too important at my school. If you do not go through rush, especially as a guy, it will be hard to make friends.

The worst part is that incoming freshman are required to by an $800+ meal plan. There is no getting around it.

Farrah

What I would consider the worst thing about the University of Mississippi is the hills. It is pretty awesome that the bad thing about a school is the hills. But they really aren't bad at all, just walking from your dorm to class wears you out, and before you know it, you're breathing heavy and needing water. But it is an excellent work out, and no one can complain about that!

The foreign teachers that don't know what they're talking about and can't explain themselves very well. They also can't speak English very well so it is hard to understand them and learn in their classes.
