If you could go without financial aid, you could go for a semester as a NON-Degree seeking student. I know b/c I did that one summer. I took summer school classes at MTSU and applied them toward my program at Ole Miss (U of MS).
If you are looking for Southern Studies, Ole Miss has a load of classes on the subject. One of my sisters had Southern Studies as her minor...
More than one school is NOT such a big deal. I should know. I have two schools on my resume and was selected as a staff member under former Vice-President Al Gore. It didn't bother them. In fact, they commented on how I had a diverse background as a result and was not just limited to knowledge on Tennessee. (I am a native of Tennessee...)
Can it be a pain to try and transfer the credits? Yes. But, in my opinion, a bit more effort to truly accomplish something I value as important would be an INVESTMENT in my happiness and future.
If this will enhance your experience, GO FOR IT!!!
The KDs at Ole Miss are great. And, while I am SURE that the house there will be filled to capacity, there are other options available. For instance, there are probably at least a couple of sisters living off campus. You might be able to room with them for a semester.
And, if you are looking for the "Deep South" experience, Mississippi is definitely an excellent place to go.
Should you decide to pursue it, check out

Good luck. And, I hope this opinion gave you another perspective on the situation.
