Starkville boasts the state's largest university, a national wildlife refuge and a nationally acclaimed golf course.
Residents enjoy all the town has to offer while living in safe, quiet neighborhoods.
Football days bring a sea of maroon and white tailgaters to town. With a 1997 College World Series baseball team and a 1996 Final Four basketball team, the cheering sections fill quickly - so be sure to buy tickets early. But great college athletics aren't the only thing MSU has to offer. Performances by the Starkville-MSU Symphony and theater productions are cultural highlights the university brings to Starkville. The school also sponsors several concerts and performances by visiting artists.
