I attended the school for three years and they kicked me out. They said my fimp exam answers weren't good enough.... but couldn't actually tell me any specific thing that was wrong with them. They wouldn't even let me finish the class for which I'd already paid.
I can't prove illegal discrimination, but I was the only American Indian student in my program, and the only autistic student. I was the only student with any disability, as near as I can tell, and I was the only one they kicked out during my time there.... Read More
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.
