Jessica Lynch is a senior just starting her last year in Oxford as an Ole Mis student. Lynch is a marketing and communications major from Benton, Ark., a small town that is a suburb of Little Rock. She chose to go into marketing because "business is a broad degree and you can do pretty much anything with it," she said. She enjoys hanging out with friends and playing tennis. She hopes to take her degree and work in a nonprofit by helping plan charity events.
She has followed in her aunt and uncle's footsteps by becoming a member of the Ole Miss family. Her parents went to the University of Arkansas. Lynch did not want to go to Arkansas though.
"If I went to Arkansas it would be a lot like high school," she said.
Not sure how to make my own post...
ReplyDeleteNatalie Moore is a sophomore from Atlanta. Leaving the big city to come to the small town of Oxford was definitely a culture shock for young Moore.
“They are just completely different,” Moore said. “I always wondered what living in a small town would be like an Oxford has provided me with that experience.”
Ole Miss’s journalism department was a key factor that lead Moore to Ole Miss. Ole Miss also provided an escape, something new to allow her to go out of the high school crowd and really spread her wings she said.
When asked if Moore ever went to another college where would it be? Moore said, “Probably the University of Georgia.”
Athens, home of the Dawgs, is not far from Moore’s hometown of Atlanta. UGA also provides the same SEC school experience and college town life. Georgia is one of the few schools that rank above Ole miss in party schools according to Newsweek, Ole Miss being No. 3, UGA No. 2.
