Not a good experience with university of Mississippi at all. During the period of my study at OleMiss, I was always stressed out and was treated poorly by school staffs. My heart was broken every time I had an issue, especially with financial aid office because they never helped me out. I would not recommend this school to anyone.
University of Mississippi did not satisfy my expectation. I did not see what they had told me about their school, their educational system at pharmacy school is very poor and disorganized. They only raise up their tuition year by year. Could I have chosen school again, I would never go to university of Mississippi ever.
