I am originally from Texas, and my husband grew up in Alabama.......( we won't discuss his alma mater) .Although neither my husband nor myself attended OleMIss , we have two children who did, and loved every minute of it. Once we started visitng, we knew we wanted the option of a comfortable place to stay while here. We love to visit Oxford. We also spend time visiting the children in other parts of the country, 2 of which live on the West Coast.
I know you will have a great time in Oxford, and would love to make suggestions as needed. (the restaurants are exceptional here)
