↑ The Ole Miss campus is usually considered to be in Oxford. However, the entire campus is outside the city limits in unincorporated Lafayette County. The U.S. Census Bureau and U.S. Postal Service use "University, Mississippi" to refer to the campus.
↑ The Mississippi State campus is usually considered to be in Starkville. However, almost the entire campus is outside the city limits in unincorporated Oktibbeha County. The U.S. Census Bureau uses "Mississippi State, Mississippi" to refer to all but the tiny amount of the campus within Starkville proper. The U.S. Postal Service uses the same term as the address for the entire campus.
