Home of Mississippi State University, Starkville, Mississippi is a small town, but full of beautiful spots where you're bound to meet friendly strangers or run into your favorite classmates during any outing. It's a fun place to live, and namely has some really stellar views and restaurants.
#5 - The Sanderson Center
While it's typically pretty packed, the Sanderson Center is one of my favorite places on campus. It has a huge indoor swimming pool, a rock climbing wall, and tons of group classes you can take if you like. If you're a gym junkie and you're in town, I highly recommend planning a workout here.
#4 - Thai Siam
One of my favorite restaurants in town, Thai Siam has really great Thai food, sushi, and even bubble tea.
#3 - Strange Brew Coffee
If you go to MSU, you know what Strange Brew is. It has a great ~strange~ aesthetic with a Frankenstein by the main doorway and a creative array of coffee choices. I recommend the iced albino rhino.
#2 - Downtown Starkville
The downtown area in Starkville is absolutely adorable. There are.cute local shops and restaurants lining the sidewalk, beautiful lights at night, and even colorfully painted pianos on the street for passersby to play.
#1 - 929 Coffee
My favorite place to study and grab coffee, 929 is ridiculously cozy and sits right in the middle of downtown. Their cold brew is delicious and its a great atmosphere both for being productive and hanging out with friends.
