My daughter chose this university as her number one choice when she was still in grade school. At the time it was based on pictures she saw. When it came time to tour colleges, and we toured several, Ole Miss did not disappoint. The campus is absolutely stunning! Brimming with southern charm. My daughter fell in love with this school, as did we. Although far away from her home in Boston, our daughter could not imagine herself at another school. The city of Oxford is charming as well, yet numerous amenities are still at your fingertips.

We were so happy that we chose to stay at FAC. It is a very special place all the way around! Very quaint place with a warm atmosphere for getting away and enjoying lots of solitude. Our room was so cozy. The breakfast was 5 star!
