Beautiful small college 2.5 hours drive east of Houston. It's right in the middle of Nacogdoches,…read morenice. Music department looks small but is one of the top in Texas, compare to the other big universities.

Visited SFA for a campus tour, my dad mentioned that I would like the beautiful campus. I truly…read morewasn't amazed after visiting other Texas universities. It was more of a ordinary school that lacks history, traditions and school spirit. My tour guide, Cherish was the bomb.com though. She was funny, cool, and laid-back. Despite, all the old buildings and only the presidents building looking new--she made the tour exciting. I can't say much about the kinesiology department as we didn't cover that part. They do have forestry, but not horticulture which I'm looking to minor in with my major of kinesiology. The library looked pretty out-dated and basic which didn't appeal to me since I know I'll be spending a lot of time there. The dorms aren't the nicest either. It's horrible how they don't have a roommate survey in order to choose your roomie, you have to go based off of first day orientation which caters mostly to freshmen students and not transfer students. Like I said before, they lack traditions. The only two things that stand for SFA is the lumberjack stick that you have to buy and design on your own, the Stephen F. Austin water fountain changes to the school's color during finals week and the hand sign motioned to look like a gun or so. Wow! Big deal.. However, one cool thing is that SFA isn't affiliated with any other universities in Texas, it is its own school. Not a sister to no other school. That's neat. Though, it is located in the country and its better that way because you won't have to deal with loud unnecessary noises when you trying to study. The rec center/gym area is extremely small, but on the outdoors there is a lazy river that connects around. The campus isn't too big to get lost, but at the same time it's small enough to get packed quick. Scholarship opportunities seem to cater to the freshmen, so I can't say this school is transfer friendly. Additionally, everyone (staff) were extremely nice and showed their southern hospitality!

I love the small class sizes. My daughter is dyslexic, so I was happy to hear about all the accommodations and help she can get at SFA. Beautiful campus. Axe em Jacks

My 4 kids seem to like this daycare out of all of the day cares we've been to. The food could be…read morebetter for the after school kids especially when they are on Holidays. My oldest mentioned that the older afterschool kids were served cherrios and milk while the regular daycare kids were given french toast with syrup, fruit etc. So yes the food could be better.
