<p>Hello everyone! I'm an African-American female and I will most likely be attending Ole Miss next fall. I have a VERY diverse group of friends right now, and I am all for "the swirl". I've heard about the racism at Ole Miss, but at what college doesn't racism exist? I just want to know will I be too uncomfortable? Please be honest, I'm ready for the truth. Haha, thanks!</p>
<p>If you are comfortable with a diverse group of people, then you should have no problems here. In college, you have such a large population of people to meet and make friends with that are from all over the US and foreign countries. So, you’re not limited in any ways. I don’t think you’ll have a problem with dating anyone that you choose. Make sure to visit campus to get your own personal vibe/feeling.</p>
<p>Good luck!</p>
<p>No, the campus here is not diverse as one thinks. Students tend to have their own groups to associate with. Most of the students are from Mississippi and they think that Oxford is vey cultural and diverse. These are the same people who only travel to other southern towns, paying homage to their confederate heritege. Those who do travel, including internatonal, only stay at the resort or the most tourist attracted area. They have never ventured out to engage with locals in a particular country, but will tell you, “I have visited France” or “the Caribbean”. You can visit Florida if you are simply looking for fun in the sun. Do not expect people of different demogaphics to associate with each otherr duing their free time. This school and this town is still somewhat two to three generations behind. They will say the school has made some progress and it has, but the southern mentality is still strong–especially behind enclosed walls. Trust me, because I know.</p>
<p>Some of what you say is true regarding associating with your common peers. Actually the demographic is 46% out of state when I was there in April for my interview/tour.</p>
<p>europeanguy1 - I am sorry you seem to have had a negative experience, but please allow others to make their own experiences. There was almost a 50/50 breakdown of in-state and non-residents in last year’s freshman class. Not everyone is how you have characterized them. It’s okay to relay your experiences, but always with the caveat that everyone at Ole Miss isn’t how you described. Some people associate only with people like them, and others engage with people from different backgrounds and ethnicities.</p>
