The University of Mississippi is situated in Oxford, MS, an extraordinarily livable city (www.oxfordms.com/) and a quintessential southern college town. Oxford, named after Oxford, England, is a one-hour drive south of Memphis, TN, and it is known as home of Nobel Prize winning author William Faulkner. Oxford was founded as a University town and remains one today. Oxford has also been featured as a literary and arts destination in such publications as The New York Times, Southern Living, Condé Nast Traveler, and GQ. ESPN rated Oxford as the best college town in the country in 2021. Along with quality of life and cultural activities, annual events include the Oxford Film Festival, a thriving local music scene, world-class restaurants (one nick-name for Oxford is the “Little Easy”), and the Ford Center for Performing Arts. Virtually everything is within walking distance of the Ole Miss campus and “the Square.” Salary for the positions is competitive with peer institutions. In addition, the cost of living in Oxford remains relatively low in comparison to the rest of the U.S.A. (approximately 47% lower than the Washington, DC area).
