I enjoyed the heck out of Starkville in the 1990s - and any friends and family who visited did too. That has carried through to today when I've brought friends over for game weekends.

The video review is spot on about what makes it great - it's community almost entirely focused on MSU. It's small town enough that everyone knows everyone, and in general get along well and care about the community. It comes through when you visit.
Hail Yeah! Hail State! I'm fortunate to have a son in his soon to be 2nd year of grad school, our family approaching 60 consecutive years of season tickets in football, a season ticket friend in baseball and basketball who takes us to many games so as I am retired now spend a lot of time in Starkville. I'm glad it's not like several other SEC towns (won't name them) and often wonder why some of our fans sometimes knock it. Can we improve, on and off campus? Sure, but a lot of positive change since I attended in 75 -77 and has been noticeable in many, many years since. Hail State! Hail Starkville!
