Transportation

    The best airport to get to Oxford, Mississippi is the Memphis International Airport in Memphis, Tennessee (MEM). You will need to rent a car to drive the 68 miles south to Oxford.

    Directions

    A Word of Warning

    Please note: if you are following along with a map, State Highway 6 is sometimes marked as US 278. However, you will not see any US 278 signs on the route.

    From Memphis International Airport

    Follow signs for I-240 from the airport. Take I-240 west (toward Downtown/Little Rock/St. Louis) to I-55 south (Exit 26, toward Jackson, Mississippi). At Batesville (Exit 243A), take Highway 6 east towards Oxford. After approximately 20 miles, exit at Chucky Mullins Drive and turn left. Turn right at the four-way stop onto Hill Drive. Follow Hill Drive to a four-way stop at All-American Way. Continue straight. Lewis Hall is the large building to the west.

    From Jackson, Mississippi

    Take I-55 north (toward Grenada and Memphis) to Batesville. At Batesville (Exit 243A), take Highway 6 east towards Oxford. After approximately 20 miles, exit at Chucky Mullins Drive and turn left. Turn right at the four-way stop onto Hill Drive. Follow Hill Drive to a four-way stop at All-American Way. Continue straight. Lewis Hall is the large building to the west.

    From the Delta (Greenville, Clarksdale, etc.)

    Take US 82 east to I-55 and follow the directions for coming from Jackson, or take Highway 6 east from Clarksdale to Batesville and Oxford.

    From Tupelo or Birmingham, Alabama

    Take US 78 west toward Memphis. At Sherman, take Highway 9 south (Exit 76) towards Pontotoc and Oxford. After about 12 miles, turn right on Highway 76 west. Continue on Highway 76, which becomes Highway 6. In Oxford, exit at Chucky Mullins Drive (You should pass the Old Taylor Road exit, even though it is marked for the university) and turn right.
