Ivy Row at Southern Miss

Small-town southern charm and a collegiate energy define the city of Hattiesburg, Mississippi. A quaint city on Interstate 59 just north of the De Soto National Forest, residents have unbeatable access to hiking, camping, canoeing, fishing, horseback-riding, and all of the outdoor adventures you can think of.
