As for the campus, it's quite scenic. It's spread across more than 450 acres with a mix of architecture styles, ranging from historic to contemporary buildings. It's surrounded by greenery and hills, adding a touch of natural beauty. The university is home to various facilities including the Houston Cole Library, which is one of the tallest academic buildings in the state, and the state-of-the-art Recreation and Fitness Center.
But more than just the structures and facilities, it's the community that makes Jacksonville State special.
