About Student Housing in University
Oxford/University, MS is a college town in Lafayette County, Mississippi, defined by the University of Mississippi (Ole Miss). The unincorporated community of University is effectively the Ole Miss campus itself, while Oxford, the surrounding city of about 25,000 residents, provides the restaurants, shops, and housing that make the area function as a cohesive college town. Oxford's historic Square is the cultural and social center of the community, with a dense mix of local restaurants, bars, and independently owned businesses that have made Oxford one of the most celebrated college towns in the South. The area is walkable and bikeable near campus and the Square, with a lively calendar anchored by SEC football game days.
