Recently gotten somewhat interested in SEC sports and as a student, I just love visiting and learning about different colleges, especially in the US where the college experience is a bit different from what I’m used to in Canada and the UK. I was wondering which colleges in the South give off the most stereotypical ‘Deep South’ or ‘old South’ feeling. I think Ole Miss is definitely a college I’d like to check out if I ever get the chance; and probably the University of Georgia as well.

Ole Miss & Alabama. Especially when it comes to sorority life IME
But Go Dawgs!!! No better place to watch a game than Sanford Stadium
No one on earth tailgates like Ole Miss. it’s crazy. Tablecloths and chandeliers with a full spread of amazing food under tents, mint juleps – those people know how to tailgate
Alabama, Ole Miss, and Georgia are probably the leaders for what you’re looking for. Alabama even has the slave cemetery and everything, depending on how “old” South you want to get. They even still have a couple of the slave quarters behind the President’s Mansion. Some of the few buildings on campus that weren’t burned down during the Civil War.
ECU (East Carolina University) comes to mind, but honestly because I grew up with the purple and gold (despite not liking sports).
The Citadel in South Carolina.
LSU.
University of Alabama – you will not be disappointed. Good times….
Old Piss…. Opps I mean Old Miss is as southern as it gets.
