<p>Starkville has it’s own airport, but I can’t speak to how economical it would be to fly there. Oxford is about the same distance from Memphis Airport that Tuscaloosa is from Birmingham Airport.</p>
<p>It is generally more expensive to fly into Starkville/Columbus, MS (the airport code is GTR) and doing so requires a connection in Memphis or Atlanta. It’s also reasonably close (under 90 minutes) to Tuscaloosa should flights to Birmingham be sold out.</p>
<p>I’ve been wanting to go over to Mississippi and possibly visit Ole Miss and Mississippi State, but haven’t yet had the opportunity to do so. I’ve been hearing good things about Ole Miss on CC, particularly about it’s unique academic programs that others have already mentioned.</p>
