Bama has a LOT of sororities and each has its own culture. I don’t know a lot about Ole Miss’ Greek system but I do know about Bama’s. Southern schools do have sororities and they are popular. Yes, the tours will be offered, but the schools will not have faculty for you to meet related to your D’s likely major. If you must visit during the summer, avoid weekend campus visits.
It can be harder to envision what they’d be like during the school year. It can be like house-hunting and looking at empty homes. Visiting campuses in the summer has its negatives. I would sign her up for the ACT/SAT now so that you have some scores before making a trip this summer. I would tend to offer a semester abroad if they do end up staying instate.Īlso please check the financial aid forums pinned posts for low cost OOS schools and automatic scholarships: It is too bad that student turn their nose up at instate schools because they actually know people who will go, or people with not as good grades as they are actually allowed to go, and they want to go to somewhere where someone else’s worse students go. I think students do tend to think that large student bodies are monolithic when they are not.The Alabama forum here is very active, check it out, there are an enormous amount of OOS students at Alabama.
I am not very familiar with Ole Miss by any means but I do have a cousin of a cousin from California who attended and still lives there who really enjoyed it and was not a sorority person. You can see on the Ole Miss website what level scholarships they offer OOS students for certain grades and test scores, same with UA. We will be visiting Ole Miss and Alabama in June of this year. If anyone has any thoughts on this at all it will be greatly appreciated. She is very accepting of others but is concerned that others there my not be accepting of her, especially if she is not in a sorority. She is somewhat introverted and somewhat of a loner type although she is very social just preferring smaller more intimate groups. She does not look down on that type of thing at all, she just isn’t that type. She is a very attractive, friendly, polite, kind and courteous girl by all accounts but is not preppy at all and definitely not the stand outside the sorority house clapping her hands and singing sorority songs type of girls at all which is our biggest concern. Our daughter, who WE (not necessarily her) are thinking about Ole Miss for, has spent a fair amount of time over the years in the south and loves it but she is a born and raised Jersey girl and would probably choose NYU over Ole Miss if that were an option.
I mention all of this to tell the story of our southern ties, and ties to Ole Miss. We have lots of relatives in south Alabama and we vacation there most years in Gulf Shores where my parents have owned a place since 1979. After retirement from IP, he was the CFO of a tech firm in Princeton and later sat on their board of directors for many years, all with his BS degree in Accounting from Ole Miss and nothing more other than hard work, determination, and very strong southern morals. When he retired from IP, he was a senior executive running three major divisions. My father went to Ole Miss on a basketball scholarship in the 50’s and his Ole Miss degree served him extremely well.

My father was transferred by International Paper to NYC from Mobile when I was two months old 50 plus years ago and we have been here in the NYC suburbs ever since. I was born in Mobile, AL and both of my parents (her grandparents) were born and raised in Alabama. She has not yet taken the SATs but did well on the PSATs. We have suggested to her Ole Miss because the out of state tuition rate is much cheaper than most schools and she may qualify for some scholarship money based on her good high school academic performance, she has a 3.5 to 3.6 overall GPA with some honors classes in a top rated public high school. We cannot afford to send all three of our daughters to out of state colleges and the best in state school here (besides Princeton of course) is Rutgers which she is not interested in although it is an excellent university academically. We are from NJ about 45 miles due west of NYC and live in a very affluent area although by comparative standards to many, if not most people, around here we are not. Our daughter is a sophomore and is the oldest of our three daughters. Any advice will be very much appreciated. First time poster here and I know there are already a lot of threads similar to this topic and I have read them all but here goes anyway.
