  1. You love diverse surroundings. Mississippi’s terrain includes a coastline, a delta, the piney woods, and the northern hills – four completely different worlds.

  1. You’re ready to feel the spirit. Over half of the population considers themselves “very religious” and this is the Bible Belt after all, so it’s safe to say that religion is a huge part of life in Mississippi.
