The best part about living in Oxford would have to be the community. It's one of the friendliest communities in the entire nation. Without a doubt, normally, graduate students live off campus, but I actually live on campus because of my graduate assistantship.

We're roommates on an off campus apartment complex, and we really enjoy it. We found it to be with great amenities. There's a lot to do. The students are always active, so it's really easy for me to get around campus in town, just because campus is definitely walkable.

There's an out bus system, which stands for Oxford University transit. And then we also have pedal bikes that you can rent on campus, and we have Lyft and Uber also, as well as Zipcar.

This is a place where I chose to raise my family. I have four children, three girls and a boy. There are more things, extracurricular activities and opportunities for children in Oxford, Mississippi, than I believe, in some urban centers all over the nation. It's also one of the safest communities and the entire nation, all the downtown area on the square, as we call it, is like great local culture food.

This morning, I had breakfast at Phillips with Phillips. I go to track 61 then there's Bolta, which is Greek food. And then there's also Ginsei that I love to go to for wing Wednesday. Bowling is also fun to do, the movies.

And one of the big things that we have in Oxford is a double decker Arts Festival, lots of walking around and shopping.

Oh, and it's a music festival too. So you can always see some great live music.

Come for a visit and spend two days in Oxford, Mississippi, visit the square, see what it's like, try one of our restaurants, and, more importantly, take a walk through our campus.

I think it will shock you, not only do we have one of the top three prettiest campuses in the nation, we actually have, I believe, the top college town anywhere across the entire globe.
