1 Reviews & Comments About Starkville
Crime is average for this to be a college town there is nothing much to do. The cost of renting homes here is too high. There are no restaurants outside of fast food. Have to travel to Columbus or Tupelo for quality eating or shopping.
The only good thing about Starkville is it's a college town the home of Ms State University. The bad thing is there aren't anything but fast food places to eat. There is a Harvey's, Applebee's, Ruby Tuesday's, and No Way Hose's. No nite life at all.
