If you went to Ole Miss, or have ever visited the college town of Oxford, Mississippi, you know first-hand what a special place it is. The people are kind, the culture is diverse and full of deep-rooted history, the food is heart-warming, and the whiskey is poured with a heavy hand. As the old adage goes, it’s the Velvet Ditch— meaning that it’s easy to fall into and hard to crawl out of because it’s just so dang comfortable.
Throughout the years, the quaint town of about 25,000 people has been recognized for its charm and beauty. This year is no exception, gracing Southern Living’s 2020 list of the South’s best college towns with its presence once again.
