Review of Oxford, Mississippi


Oxford Insight
Star Rating - 3/11/2021
While I know this isn’t a review, I am looking for some local insight! I am recent college graduate and looking for a fresh start to my career. I have lived in Chicago my whole life and I am beyond fed up with this place (weather, traffic, people, crime, politics etc.) and one place that shows up constantly on all the articles and reviews I read is Oxford! Would you recommend Oxford to a early 20s young professional looking for a change of scenery from the big city? My only concern is driving, living in Chicago I never had the need for a car, thus I would like to still have the luxury of a place where walking and public transportation like trains or busses are accessible... would I be able to get away without a car in Oxford? Last, crime. As you can probably imagine Chicago is one of the worst places you can live where crime is everywhere... it’s disgusting and unfortunate and I am sick of the shootings, gangbanging, car jacking etc. (you name it and I’ve seen it) how is the crime in Oxford? I would love to live in relative peace and quite for once lol. Let me know your thoughts on Oxford! It seems like a lovely place to live from what I have read and maybe one day I’ll see you there! Hotty Toddy!
