So, I've heard about SF Austin University, but I have no clue where it's located. Can anyone here shed some light on its location and what the surrounding area is like?
Stephen F. Austin State University (SFASU) is located in Nacogdoches, Texas. Nacogdoches is a small city in East Texas with a population of around 33,000 residents. The city has a rich history and a charming, Southern atmosphere with brick streets, historic buildings, and beautiful parks.
The campus itself is surrounded by the Piney Woods, providing a lush and scenic backdrop for students. The surrounding area offers various recreational activities, such as hiking, biking, and water sports at nearby Lake Nacogdoches and other natural spots. Additionally, you'll find local restaurants, shops, and entertainment venues in the downtown area of Nacogdoches.
Being a small city, Nacogdoches offers a more close-knit community experience. However, if you're keen on exploring bigger cities, Houston is about a three-hour drive to the south, and Dallas is about a four-hour drive to the north-west. This allows for easy weekend trips if you're interested in experiencing a change of pace and exploring more urban environments while attending SFASU.
