Huntsville Campus:

The main Sam Houston campus is located in Huntsville, Texas. Huntsville is located 70 miles north of downtown Houston. Ideal location for a student who wants to be close to the big city but not live in it. With around 40,000 inhabitants Huntsville has that small-town charm with access to anything you could need. The city’s historic downtown provides boutique stores, a variety of food and big annual events.

Located in the green Piney Woods of east Texas Huntsville has a lot of outdoor activities to offer with easy access to surrounding Sam Houston National Forest, Huntsville State Park, Lake Conroe and Lake Livingstone. From hiking to fishing to camping among the towering pine trees. There is even scuba diving opportunities at the Blue Lagoon just north of Huntsville. The SHSU campus is a good representation of the surrounding nature with a very green and tree-filled campus recognized as a Tree Campus USA recipient.

Students interested in golf have access to SHSU’s own 18-hole championship layout golf course, Raven Nest. The golf course is the home of the Sam Houston State PGA Golf Management program and can challenge golfers of all ability levels.

The SHSU College of Arts and Media provides Huntsville with a wide variety of cultural events year-round. Dance performances, theatre and musical theater shows, music concerts and art exhibits, all free to students.
