Mark Twain once said, "To understand the world, you must understand a place like Mississippi."
Anybody who has even visited Mississippi State knows that Mississippi State is a unique place and has lots of special places that MSU one of a kind. Here are just twenty-six (out of very many) of those special places, events, things, and more listed from A-Z that make Starkville, Mississippi a special place and where we wanted to spend the best four (or maybe more) years of our lives.
Allen Hall
Having a class here is a right of passage.

It's kind of a big deal.

So many memories.

The place where you will see at least one person that you will recognize.
