In 'The Shadow Out of Time', the protagonist is a professor at Miskatonic who is literally in the middle of giving a lecture when his brain is taken over by aliens. I don't remember how much description there is of the school, but we get some of his lecture.
Walter Gilman, from 'The Dreams in the Witch House', is enrolled at Miskatonic and we get both some physical description of it and some vague stuff about his classes, teachers, and friends.
Asenath and Edward, from 'The Thing on the Doorstep', hang out socially with a bohemian crowd at Miskatonic. Edward met hir while auditing courses at which ze was a student, meaning that Miskatonic admitted women in the late nineteen-teens/early twenties. There is probably some university description surrounding them and Asenath's backstory might mention when the university started admitting women, though I don't recall off the top of my head.
There is a physical description of the Miskatonic library and environs in the sequence in 'The Dunwich Horror' in which Wilbur Whateley is trying to acquire a copy of the Necronomicon; he breaks in. We also get a sense of their security measures.
