Hi, for anyone who has been to both places, is oxford anything like pensacola or milton? Is it a rural area? thanx!

[sad delta]

yes, I've been to oxford and pensacola...never heard of milton! oxford is a lovely place, I think you'll really like it! It's been many years since I've been in pensacola, but I liked it too! Oxford is not like Pensacola...they both are great places...I'm partial to Oxford because of the atmosphere and the square and Ole Miss football! I liked Pensacola for the beach, water, and atmosphere of night life ( Oxford has a great night life too ). It's also a small town, and that's always a plus!

Oxford is very rural outside the downtown area, much more so than Pensacola. However, downtown has tons of great restaurants and bars. It's a fun town with great Southern culture.

I live in Oxford and have been in the other areas. Oxford is rural county, 20k city that grows to 40k when the university students are here. Close to bigger cities if needed. Great place/

I live in Pensacola and I go to Oxford every few months. I have family that live in Water Valley and I have family that are cops in Oxford. But both towns are about the same. It is a collage/military town. But now Milton NO It is a redneck town. It is a town over from Pensacola. I would have to say; if I had to pick a town to go visit it would be Pensacola. (We have white beaches)
