How this compares with living on campus
Mississippi College's cheapest on-campus option is Whittington Hall at $3,000/semester plus a meal plan. Remember that campus rates often bundle things an apartment does not — and an apartment lease usually runs 12 months instead of the academic year.

Furnished units still need bedding, kitchen basics and cleaning gear; unfurnished rentals add the big anchors — mattress, bed frame, sofa and a table. Our checklist filters by furnished vs unfurnished so you only pack what your unit is missing.
