I don’t disagree with this but there are places in downtown Jackson what people shouldn’t go to at night
Especially with kids
Do troublemakers move to Starkville to not attend MSU

Especially with kids
North side of campus, you say?
These aren’t the white girls you are looking for. Those basic white bîtches tailgate near and sit in the south end zone. Basic white girl heaven.
It's bizarre. I live not too far from there, and twice now on my way home I've driven past the entrance and seen every OPD and sheriff's car out there with lights on, and heard the next day there was some crazy incident with a gun and/or shooting.
Don't leave us hanging.... did the mom get in?
Usually black locals in Vegas.Dont shoot the messenger ( again this pun is intended)They got a handle on it by putting southern traditions in up front . No more weed twerking and constant fbombs slung around passing families
Having attended both institutions, there is little comparison between Lafayette and Oktibbeha Counties and their interaction with the collegiate, game day crowd. The Grove has historically weeded this trash out. Costs, decency, genteel, pimiento cheese types, etc. don’t scream “you’re welcome here.” The “Junction,” as it was deemed around 2006, is infiltrated/overwhlemed with locals. The demographic is insurmountable. Oxford has had its issues in recent years. I own a picture of horse-mounted police marching down Lamar in ~2016. Never thought I’d see it. Hint… It’s not because of the fraternity and sorority crowd.

Without the academic chops? Lol. It’s usually money. If you can breath you can get in to MSU or OM.
To directly answer the OPs question, unless something drastic has changed the last 15 years, I don’t think there is much section 8 seekers around universities. But the college party lifestyle attracts more than just college students. That same college party lifestyle also brings with it huge bkackmarket opportunities for young people who don’t mind living outside the law if you catch my drift. Hot girls, partying, & drugs attracts some non desirables in any concentration college town or big city or whatever.
Nah, it happens and it doesn’t stay out of the news any more than anywhere else. There were several incidents a couple years ago that were well reported. I assure you, if there was something significantly negative going on under the radar in Oxford, Steve Robertson would be telling you all about it.
That’s part of the reason that Oxford and Lafayette County are quitting playing each other in football.
Loitering has become a big issue in the Cotton District late at night and its usually done by the same crowd. Lots of people standing outside on the sidewalk not going into bars but with open container laws most of the groups are pouring drinks in their vehicles and standing around the cotton district blocking foot traffic and just hanging out. I saw at least two get arrested after the Tennessee game for smoking pot right in the middle of all of it.
If I had to guess this is one of the main reasons Oxford does not have open container laws and why their bars have high cover charges is to keep these groups out.
I've seen the comments about the Links in Oxford, the Links in Starkville is almost just as bad.
There’s plenty of things that don’t get reported in that area and it’s not just Oxford. Panola County has a lot of gun violence and that stuff is creeping East.
There are plenty of things that don’t get reported in every area. Unfortunately, mundane violence doesn’t grab the public’s attention anymore.
If you’re in the Memphis media market you’re not going to hear about anything but what’s going on in Memphis.
Getting in and belonging are two different things. I have known several people over the years that have done the live in the college town and commute to JUCO thing, and it is sort of about money, but it's more of the "I want you to have a good college experience, but I'm not paying until you show me you can not be a dumbass." If they were confident their children would go to State or Ole Miss or USM and do what they're supposed to do, the money wouldn'dt be a problem. But they don't want to pony up the money when the kids didn't show they'd be responsible in high school.
That's true but I don't even think it's the blackmarket opportunities although there is some of that too. It's just young girls attracting trash people, and the more trash they are, the older they can get before feeling any shame about hitting on drunk 18 year old girls.
They love to sit around too and try and 'provoke' one of the drunk frat boys into saying something, so they can sucker punch them or something like that.
That's one of the drawbacks of going out partying I guess.
With MS banning high school tailgating, it's a matter of time on college campuses before there's a shooting at tailgating areas and the same happens. Eventually you're going to have to buy tickets and join the BC to tailgate, so they make money and keep out the trouble.

every state should ban Hugh from tailgating. Nobody wants to spend their Saturday withto spend their tailgate witha dude creeping on girls and preaching at adults.
Y'all need to stop using such offensive, bigoted language and use appropriate terminology. They are not troublemakers, thugs, hoodlums etc. They are people experiencing a behavioral crisis. That's how to describe them now. For instance, Ms. Hendricks was stabbed in the neck by a student experiencing a behavioral crisis in her math class. Now you know.
This will happen…
