<p>my daughter was all set on ua and the honors college program there but is visiting ole miss this weekend and loves it there. not sure how competitive the honors college applications process is at ole miss. is ua better than ole miss academically? also, she is definitely her own person and not a sorority type of girl. i've heard that ole miss freshman girls are all about sororities and my daughter prefers a more serious approach and likes being on her own. would she fit in?</p>
<p>they would be pretty similar schools… ua greek life is also about 30-35%… fairly significant BUT that also means 65% of the school is not greek…certainly easy to have a great college experience without going greek</p>
<p>Both schools are “hot” right now in terms of attracting strong students from neighboring states (and even states not neighboring…). I would say that here in Nashville, Alabama Honors is regarded somewhat better than Miss. Honors, although both have their fans. Very similar environments.</p>
