The East Texas Piney Woods provide a spectacular backdrop for Stephen F. Austin State University, especially in the fall with the changing of the leaves. More than 10,000 students enjoy the beautiful campus, and the university takes pride in its upgraded facilities and meticulous landscaping. SFA is also proud of its agriculture and forestry programs, which attract many students. Education and business are other top choices among the school’s 80 undergraduate majors and 120 areas of study.

About half of the student body lives on campus in one of 16 facilities that offer a variety of floor plans and designs. Greek life is big with SFA students, and more than 229 student organizations ensure that there’s an extracurricular activity for everyone. (Harmonie, a student chamber ensemble, is the newest addition.) A new $32 million student center features a three-story atrium, multiple food outlets, a movie theater, a Starbucks, and a Barnes and Noble bookstore. A state-of-the-art recreational center also recently opened, and among its amenities are a climbing wall and an outdoor pool. The 490-acre arboretum just off campus hosts a fall festival and a lecture series, and functions as a “living laboratory” for SFA’s College of Agriculture and Forestry students.

The university is in Nacogdoches, the oldest town in Texas. The historic downtown area with its distinctive red brick streets is known for the many antiques stores. Nacogdoches also enjoys an easygoing, reciprocal relationship with the university. Students like to hang out at the Lumberyard, a live music venue not too far from campus.
