At Batesville (Exit 243A), take Highway 6 east towards Oxford. After approximately 20 miles, exit at Coliseum Drive and turn left. Turn right at the four-way stop onto Hill Drive.

Parking

Visitors may park in any zone (you may receive a ticket, but it will be voided if you bring it to our attention). If you will be here for more than a day, we can arrange to get a temporary parking permit for you.

Due to the closure of the center of campus to most traffic, parking is somewhat harder to come by on campus, particularly between 9 a.m. and 2 p.m. on weekdays. We also don't recommend trying to visit the department on the weekends that home football games are scheduled (a schedule can be found at this website).
