Agree with what Honest wrote. And this... Nothing wrong with being OOS - I have many OOS friends. But I think there are two types of OOS students who give OOS a bad name: 1) The type who comes here acting better than Miss. students when the main/only reason they're here is that they couldn't get into their own state school but come from $$$ so they could afford OM. Money is great, but it doesn't make one better than another person and ironically, it's not even the student's money - their parents made it. 2) The OOS girl who was used to getting into the top 'everything' in HS, so they expected to get into top tier...only to learn that connections are everything despite them having a better resume, etc. I've seen this type of OOS student then make fun of Ole Miss, the Greek System, the top tier houses, even the state of Mississippi. They (and their moms) rail about how unfair this is, etc. Well, life's unfair and having a better resume doesn't mean you get in over the person who's well-connected. Same goes for getting a job, by the way. I get that it was likely shocking to this type of OOS student that things work differently than they thought - but if they really don't like it, then they should either leave OM or stop putting everything/one down. To bash everything about this state is simply rude, not to mention that you knew this was/is a very poor state when you came here even if it shocked you how much connections matter (ironically those same in-state connections would have mattered for you had you gone in-state, OM isn't the only school where connections matter for rush). Remember, your diploma will say "University of Mississippi" not "University of Ole Miss." So these are two type of students who give OOS students a bad name. There are plenty of OOS students here that are great and I love having them as friends, but like anything, it only takes a few to leave a bad mark and that goes for anything.
