Eh, I enjoy both. Starkville gets shite on a lot, Oxford gets undue praise, and I think the truth is somewhere in the middle.

I agree. I love MSU and Starkville but I’ve been to many other college towns and they are far more developed, with better bars and more restaurants. But that’s not to say Starkville doesn’t have some cool spots and good food. There’s just a little less.
The problem Starkville has is that without the university it would be just another tiny town in MS and it doesn’t have the population year round to support a lot of bars/restaurants.
I will say the current leadership of both the city and university is doing a fantastic job in growing the town. The cotton district is being revitalized and has changed a lot even since my freshmen year (2012) and the school itself is growing every single year. Starkville isn’t some no fun shithole that it probably used to be. If you can’t have fun in a college town then you are just a miserable person.

Nailed it. Is the Square cool? yeah. Is the Cotton District to downtown cool? yeah. I can have a good time at both. However, the biggest difference is you'll see a lot more pretentiousness in oxford and a lot more backwoods in starkville and it seems both are exaggerated in most cases.
