Fun Facts

  • At University of Mississippi there is a 10-acre park-like area beneath tall oak trees called the Grove on campus. The Grove is loved and shared by students, sports fans, and community members alike. When the Grove really comes to life is on a fall Saturday morning before an Ole Miss football game — that is one experience you just have to see for yourself!
  • Speed limits on University of Mississippi's campus include 18 mph and 10 mph in honor of 2 famous football Ole Miss players (hint: they’re father and son).
  • William Faulkner called Oxford home for the majority of his life. His home, Rowan Oak, is now owned and operated as a museum by the University of Mississippi. There’s even a statue of Faulkner on the Historic Oxford Square!
  • In 1994, the City of Oxford imported its first AEC Routemaster bus from England. Oxford unveiled the bus at the first Double Decker Arts Festival in 1996, which, as you may have guessed, is the festival’s namesake. The city now owns four of the iconic bright-red buses, which are regarded by locals as symbols of local culture. University of Mississippi
