Visit Our Campus
The first step to deciding that Southern Miss is the place for you is to visit our beautiful campus! Located in Hattiesburg, Mississippi, Southern Miss is easily accessible on Interstate 59 or U.S. Highway 49 and within a convenient distance from Jackson, the Mississippi Gulf Coast, Mobile, and New Orleans.
Schedule a Campus Visit
A campus visit is an essential step in selecting the college that's right for you. A typical campus visit at Southern Miss lasts approximately 1-2 hours and can include:
- a meeting with an admissions counselor to discuss admissions requirements, scholarships and financial aid, on-campus housing, and student life;
- a tour of the campus and a residence hall led by a student tour guide;
- an appointment with faculty in your proposed area of study.
Before you visit, you may want to get directions to the Office of Admissions
and check out area hotel accommodations. Hattiesburg is an ideal college
town featuring a historic downtown, eclectic restaurants and shops, and
close proximity to Jackson, the Mississippi Gulf Coast, New Orleans, and
Mobile. We hope that you take some time to explore our beautiful city!
Best Times to Visit Campus
Weekdays - when classes are in session - afford the best insight into the Southern Miss experience and campus life. Our mission is to provide you with a campus visit experience that addresses all of your needs, and we are best able to do that during the week and while classes are in session so that you can access as many campus resources as needed. Walk-in visitors will be accommodated as much as possible, but we cannot guarantee that all appointment and special requests will be met unless your visit is scheduled in advance. We recommend that you make your appointment at least one week in advance of the date you'd like to visit.
