At 1100 College Street, you will find a campus steeped in tradition. It seems that every brick of every building has a story to tell, whether of storms from the past or visions of the future. Even a legendary tree has its own history, leaves that fall at just the right moment and eventually lead to love across the county line. Today’s students who walk through the front gates of campus will find ways to create their own stories inside and outside of the classroom.
College is the perfect opportunity for students to embrace their independence. For many, it may be the first time to live on their own. Others may find themselves juggling family, work and classes.

Curiosity, engagement and innovation are all a part of the learning experience at Mississippi University for Women.
