10 Things to Do This Spring: Here’s the 411
| |
- Attend a baseball game to experience right field at Swayze Field. Student tickets are $5 per game and are worth every penny!
- Exercise in Lamar Park! It’s right down the road from campus and has plenty of space for walking, yoga or studying.
- Go to the Double Decker Arts Festival in April! It’s finally making a long-awaited return to the Oxford Square.
- Attend a group fitness class at SCRC. It’s a great way to learn exercise styles, as well as meet new people!
- Basketball games are FREE FOR STUDENTS. Sounds like a great study break to us!
- The Ford Center will have events showcasing the arts throughout the semester.
- Listen to a variety of talented speakers at TedxUniversityOfMississippi!
- Have you tried the food trucks on Business Row? They take Flex and Express, so you really should.
- Walk, jog or run along the Bailey Woods Trail that leads to Rowan Oak, or learn the many paths that make up the South Campus Rail Trail!
- Give back to the LOU community and volunteer with RebelTHON in February or The Big Event in April.

Transportation: If you enjoy going to the Square and don’t want to pay for an Uber/Lyft afterwards, you’re going to love this! The Safe Ride program is a shuttle service that loops from the Square to multiple spots on campus, meaning you don’t have to walk or drive home after a night out. Ole Miss students ride free with student ID. Where can I get on? Downtown behind the parking garage. Where does it go? Stops include the Residential Colleges, Crosby, Stockard, Martin and Minor Hall, as well as by fraternities Kappa Alpha and Beta Theta, and sorority Chi Omega. When do the buses run? Thursday, Friday and Saturday, 9 p.m.-2 a.m.
Wellness: If you find yourself overextended or overwhelmed and feel the need to talk to someone about your physical or mental health, visit the wellness center or reach out to a faculty member, academic advisor or the staff in the University Counseling Center.
Groceries: Grove Grocery wants to alleviate campus hunger and poverty by providing nutritious food and hygiene products free of charge to students and employees in the Ole Miss community. The University Food Pantry offers meal swipes, Grab-N-Go bags and can fill grocery orders for you!
Lunch: Wondering about a new spot to grab a tasty lunch on campus? Lenoir Dining in Lenoir Hall on Sorority Row features a new menu every week! It is open to all students and faculty from Monday through Friday, 11:30 a.m.-1:30 p.m.
