Prettier main part of campus. The Grove at Ole Miss or the Quad at Alabama.

The Grove has about 10 trees, and 4 picnic tables with wasp nests under them. Most underwhelming thing I’ve seen. Harvey could’ve taken that whole place out in a few hours. But I do think Ole Miss has a VERY pretty campus overall. Very self-contained unlike ours.

Never been to Ole Miss, but I can't imagine many places being as aesthetically pleasing as UA. Take out Pepperdine in Malibu though

I am amazed every time I step foot on our campus especially in the Spring and Fall. Overall, it is just very well kept up. I wish I could walk it every day.

The grove is incredibly overrated.

The Grove is extremely overhyped, much like Ole Miss' supposed "beautiful women" myth. You'll see more hot chicks packed into the Cocktail Collection speakeasy on a Tuesday night than you'll ever see in all of Oxford.

I can attest that Bama's campus was a breath of fresh air and a welcome contrash compared to UCF's. And 70% of the women at UCF look like gargoyles which made the experience even more unsettling.

I’d say UCF has a lot of homely women primarily due to the fact the state of Florida has been overrun with people from up north moving there. Not to say there are no attractive women from up north but good looking women are much more rare there. So, they imported their ugly genes to Florida.

You haven't seen homely women until you set foot on the campus of the Colorado School of Mines in Golden, Co. The academics are as good as there is but the people on campus are homely as frick.

I’ve only been to the Grove once and unfortunately it rained the day before and it was muddy everywhere. Lots of pine straw to cover the mud but didn’t work in some places. It was overcrowded and everything packed in together like an outside picnic with table cloths and chandeliers. We found a Bama tailgate right outside of the Grove. I did like the downtown part of Oxford, kinda like a small French Quarter where you aren’t afraid of losing a kidney.

The Quad was great until the university took over the tailgate and now it looks like a spread out Grove. Maybe Bama took what Ole Miss was doing and decided to go corporate.

Now you lost me. Have you been to Oxford on a Friday night?

OM sorority girls are not even a little overrated.

Have you been to Oxford since the turn of the century?

Compared to Mississippi State? Sure. But they don't hold a candle to any of the other major SEC institutions with the exception of maybe Florida.

That title was likely earned in the 60s but most SEC campuses have left Ole Miss in the dust and it isn't even close.

Never been to Oxford, but I think UA campus is pretty. Another pretty campus although very small is UNA in Florence.

Yes, I know a number of them there right now and have seen enough pictures to tell you unequivocally there are a ton of hot girls there and have been for as long as I’ve been paying attention,

Are you trolling? There are other schools in the conversation with Ole Miss for hottest girls but to say they don’t hold a candle to the other SEC schools is laughable.

I thought the Grove was very nice. I do prefer the Quad. Ugliest campus in the SEC is Texas A&M. I felt that Oxford would have been a better college town overall than Tuscaloosa though. My Tuscaloosa experience sucked, but that likely has a lot to do with having had to live off campus in a poorer area and it taking place right after the tornado.
