Showing Love for the International Students of Ole Miss
PHOTO / The Office of International Programs
It may be the University of Mississippi, but the Ole Miss student population is comprised students from all 50 states and 86 countries! With so many international students on campus, we wanted to put together a list of resources for international students. Having students come to Ole Miss from all over the world strengthens our university and allows students from all walks of life to learn from each other. We’re so thankful to have so many countries represented on campus!
The Hub Apartments
The Hub offers weekly shuttle service to Wal-Mart to their international students living there. There are other perks to make them feel comfortable as well! Apartments all across town have programs in place to help international students integrate into the community.
Office of International Programs
The Office of International Programs’ primary goal is to make international students feel comfortable and at home in Oxford. Their office is 331 Martindale,and they are the best resource for international students on campus. This is the place to go to get help or have any of your questions answered!

The O.U.T Buses
Being an international student shouldn’t keep you from getting around town. The Oxford University Transit buses take students around Oxford for free with your student ID!
