2. Oxford, MS

Ole Miss is another school where enrollment somehow outnumbers the town it resides in in terms of population. The enrollment may be hovering around 23,000, but go to one tailgate in Oxford, MS and you’ll think it’s 100,000. Students and non-students alike love their Rebels.

They said it:

Parker, Management Information Systems Major:

"Ole Miss is a totally different animal compared to many schools around the country. The Grove on Gameday is the Mecca of tailgating. There is a wonderful atmosphere of southern hospitality (and beautiful women). Hearing thousands of students go insane in Vaught-Hemingway is one of the most dangerous alley for any away team. Because of the beautiful campus and outrageous school spirit, there is no better college town than Oxford, Mississippi."
