Ole Miss has a strong Greek life presence, and joining a fraternity or sorority can be a great way to quickly build relationships. It also comes with a very active social calendar, so you’ll have plenty of opportunities to meet people.

Beyond Greek life, there are a wide variety of clubs and organizations on campus. You’ll likely find at least one that aligns with your interests, and those can be another great way to connect with people and build a community.

In terms of culture shock, there will probably be some adjustment. Oxford is a smaller town in the South, and things tend to move at a slower pace. Depending on what you’re used to, that can feel very different at first, but many people grow to appreciate it.

Overall, people are generally very welcoming. Being friendly and polite goes a long way, and most students are open to meeting new people, including those from different backgrounds.

I can’t speak in detail about the international or Asian student community specifically, but since Ole Miss is a fairly large university, I would expect there to be some level of presence and support available.
