Campus Life
GET INVOLVED
We have over 400 student organizations, so there is something for everyone (or create a new group yourself!). Student organizations help you find like-minded classmates to feel at home and make new friends.
Many students attend athletic events, such as football and baseball games, play intramural sports, host cultural nights, join the Esports Team, attend lectures and cinema nights, or get involved in the local community! Oxford, Mississippi, is a cultural center of Mississippi and home to independent bookstores, local award-winning restaurants, clubs, and social events.
HOUSING
New freshmen live on campus in traditional or contemporary residence halls or in apartment-style buildings. Every residence hall has its own community assistant who supports students and creates events and activities for its residents.
FOOD
Three major cafeterias serve Ole Miss students, but food is available across campus at PODs (convenience stores), the Student Union (Panda Express, Chik Fil A, McAlister’s, Qdoba, Smoothie Bowls!). Students can find a variety of options and have a meal plan so they are always full! Our local farmer’s market and grocery stores offer a variety of items for students to cook in their residence halls and apartments as well!
FUN
There is always something to do at Ole Miss and in the Oxford community! Enjoy performances at the Ford Center, SEC athletic competitions, tailgating, live music, eating Southern food, lectures on campus, art openings on the Square, film showings, recreation and games at the South Campus Recreation Center or Turner Center (we have two rec centers!), going out on the town, or simply strolling through the Grove with friends.
