Yeah, Aunt Bee.

I'd say Hattiesburgh before Oxford.

It's very intellectual in Oxford...but it's also stiff, boring, more expensive
than the rest of the state and it's more collegiate.

Being so collegiate, I imagine they have a waiting list up there.

Good luck getting laid in Oxford.

You'd better go where there's a population.
Oxford is home to the University of Mississippi. There's plenty of young folks around.


If one of your goals is to make a difference then I beg you to come to the Delta. The public school system is deplorable and needs good teachers who care. If you were to move to the Delta I'd suggest towns like Clarksdale and Tunica.

Is the Univ of Southern Miss located in Hattiesburg, or am I wrong about that? Thanks!
There are several different local groups that are made up of young professionals in the Jackson area. Jackson Progressives is a one of them, which started as a group of young adults who are passionate about Jackson and willing to make a difference in the community. Another group, which I know little about, is called Young Urban Professionals, or YUPs. Also, there are many more groups that are more specific that you are based on hobbies and/or interests. And if religion is your thing, there are tons of churches to choose from as well. There's a little bit of something for everyone, you just have to know where to look.

Hattiesburg and Tupelo seem to be nice places, but I don't know that much about either of them.
