Around Town

Attend football games and all the activities occuring on campus. Alot of college students also go to the coffee bars and pizzarias in the downtown area to hangout.

Millsaps is located in Jackson, Mississippi, which is the state's capital. There are plenty of great restaurants, museums, and other activities in town. On campus, fraternity and sorority functions provide plenty of fun, and there are always live theatre, music and dance performances on campus. The Millsaps Lecture Series provides incredible speakers and entertainers each month.

Play Frisbee in the Bowl (the big grass area in the center of campus). Go on a scavenger hunt around Jackson, MS. Go long boarding down High street! Go to all the small local restaurants around Jackson. Go to the great local consignment shops (5min away)! Visit the Fondren area (practically the art district. Its just 5 minutes away!)

The fraternities often have theme parties on the weekend. If you're 21, you can go to the bars downtown. There are many great restaurants to eat at located closely to the college.

Bar scene around Jackson is mostly 21+ but everyone is welcome at the fraternity houses on weekends and because Millsaps is a gated, small campus it provides as a safe place to party.

Jackson, MS, has a vibrant arts community and nightlife. You just have to come see it to believe it!

good question. jackson is one of the most poverty-stricken cities in the united states, and millsaps is located right next to the subsidized housing neighborhoods. gunshots are a regular happening. the school provides no entertainment whatsoever, and the fraternity houses are the only places one can go. there isn't really anything to do in jackson without having to drive 30+ minutes away from the school.

Go to the Kava house with friends and have a nice lunch or enjoy the frat parties held almost every weekend.
