I'm going to take you on a tour of the wonderful campus of Mississippi State University through a series of pictures. This tour is not all inclusive. It hits many of the top spots as well as some obscure spots you should still probably know.

First stop,

LEE HALL

Named after the first University president, Confederate General Stephen Lee. This is the crowning jewel on the main part of MSU campus.

Next stop,

THE DRILL FIELD

Opposite Lee Hall is Swalm Hall and in between them is the Drill Field. It is the main academic location on campus with many on the classroom building along its perimeter.

Next stop,

MITCHELL MEMORIAL LIBRARY

This is MSU's library, which is finishing up construction on its new expansion this semester. "Pardon Our Noise"

Next Stop,

COLVARD STUDENT UNION

The Colvard Student Union is one of the busiest locations on campus with a food court, classrooms, meeting rooms, HCDC, Student Affairs, and Greek Life.

Next Stop,

BELL ISLAND

This is the small strip of land between the Union and the Chapel. It houses the retired bell from the Chapel and thus the name.

Next stop,

CHAPEL OF MEMORIES

This is the bell tower and the chapel for the University. All of the brick are from the old dormitory, Old Main, which burned down in the late 40s, early 50s.

Next stop,

ALLEN HALL

This is another academic building that additionally houses the College of Education and the Dean of Student Affairs.

Next stop,

THE JUNCTION & DAVIS WADE STADIUM

This is the main tailgate area for weekend football games. HAIL STATE!

Last stop,

HUMPHREY COLISEUM

This is the home of the basketball teams for both Men's and Women's. It is located on the north side of campus.



Well I hope you have enjoyed your tour! And don't forget to share this for any of your friends that might not know what some of these locations are. Or you can share it so your relatives can see what a beautiful university you have chosen.

When I was learning how to talk, I was taught both Portuguese and English at the same time. In elementary school, I started taking mandatory Spanish classes, which I did well in because of my knowledge of Portuguese. Then in high school, on top of taking Spanish, I also started taking French. Now, in college, already fluent in English and Portuguese, I'm in the process of becoming fluent in Spanish, and I have a standard high school level understanding of French.

I am without a doubt one of those people who refuses to start decorating for Christmas or listen to Christmas music until after Thanksgiving. Unfortunately, Thanksgiving has become an underrated holiday over the years. You barely see any Thanksgiving decorations in stores; it's like they skip right from Halloween to Christmas.

Some universities only get two or three days off for Thanksgiving break. Or, if your university is like mine, you get the whole week off go go home. A whole week off is a long time.
