Stephen F Austin State University Top Questions

What's unique about your campus?

Briana

The best thing about my school is the ready availability of campus tutors whose fee is included in tuition. I is very convenient to have english majors check over your english papers and physics majors help you with your physics homework. The AARC, where the tutors are stationed, is my favorite and most used school resource. It is on the bottom floor of the library. That at makes it easy to ask them a quick question or make a long visit while doing homework at the library.

The best thing at our school would have to be our school spirit and how competitive our student body is when it comes to our majors. Our school colors are purple, purple standing for loyalty, power, and ambition, which describes the SFA student body to a T. Everywhere you look our campus is covered in purple constantly reminding us of what we stand for and what we are capable of and that is how our student body continues to have this reputation of being competititve in our studies.

There are many opportunities for students to make friends and that is what makes a person want to do well in college so that they can stay at the university and make new friends with each coming smester.

With approximately 13,000 students, Stephen F. Austin State University it is large enough that there is always someone new to meet, but small enough that you do not get lost. There are all kinds of on-campus activities, but also plenty of quaint attractions off-campus in Nacogdoches. SFA is a small school in a small town. This fact leads to a close-knit campus and strong support system for students.

Tayla

Though there are many great things about Stephen F. Austin State University, I would have to say that the best thing is thier athletic training program. Under the supervision of Doc Sandy Miller, this team of professionals are amoung the elite in the nation. They win several competiotons and once in this program you are sure to have a job when you graduate.

Brittany

The atmosphere and the people at my school is the best thing. My school provides the tool that I need to succeed in getting the best college education that I can achieve. The school is located in a small town and it allows for me to focus more on my education than being distracted with other events. The school is small enough where the professor and the workers at the school make you feel welcome and safe. I don't feel like I am just another number.

The best thing about Stephen F. Austin would be that it is a small campus. Unlike many other schools you will not get lost around your campus. With the classes being so small you have a better opportunity to get to know your professors and interact with them during class. I also like it because there is a better chance to meet people who can help you.

Krystal

The reason why I chose SFA is the fact that they offer an online degree program. I am a single parent of two boys and need to keep a full-time job while in college. Their program allows me work, take online classes, and spend time with my children. I?m very glad that I can get a degree without my children suffering (short term) without my time. The online degree itself is another plus for SFA, education. I plan to teach middle school math. This will give me more time with my children throughout their childhood as well.

Honestly, the two things that first drew me to this school was the environment and the sense of strong community. The climate and landscape reminded me of Tennessee (where I was born). Meanwhile the community is inviting and warm, and coming from a large family, that was what I was looking for. To this day, I feel safe walking around campus at night. Secondly, the art department at SFA is wonderful, and the teachers are extremely talented and drive you to reach your potential.

nicole

The environment and the friendly people. Everyone is easy to get along with and the academics are amazing.

Lajora

The best thing I really like about my school is that it the campus and classes are not too big, but not too small. I also like the people here on the campus. They make you feel comfortable while you are here. It is your home away from home. The people that live in this community are very friendly.

Carisse

I think its great that they provide individual tutoring; however, they do have a limited amount of tutors.

Susan

I like that it is in a small town because it really makes you appreciate the city-life more. When I come back home for the holidays and for summer vacation, I am so appreciative of all of the entertainment options that I have available to me. Living / going to school in a small town teaches you not to take anything for granted. The scenery is so pretty and is full of green trees everywhere, whereas the city's availability of natural scenery is so scarce and sparse.

Michelle

Healthy social environment with a strong pull toward academic excellence.

Brady

The best thing of my school are the people who I chat with on a recurring bases, which mainly are the after school youth group I attained. At this after scool group is were I come alive and get a social life at least one day of the week.

Preston

Small Town feel, frendly community, and conviently designed campus

Small class sizes and friendly professors.

Roberto

the teachers

Kymberly

The class size is great for teacher student interaction. However, the expectations of some of the teachers is almost out of reach for students because they do not make themselves available to the students

Becuase everyone at this school is so nice. They are always trying to find ways to make new friends and make other people around them happy. Im glad I decided to come to Nacogdoches because its not to far from home and its just right in case of an emergency.

I absolutely love the history department and my jobs! The history department has amazing professors who really bring it to life, like I hope to someday. I work at the tutoring service center on campus as a history tutor and also at the Center for East Texas Studies and I love both!
