Since 1902, Jackson State University has been a fixture of the scholarly community in its namesake city. Jackson State’s robust academics and visionary developments have earned the school distinction as one of the top HBCUs in the country, among numerous other major accolades. Tiger football games are major events for the whole community, and the “Sonic Boom of the South” marching band has earned a nationwide reputation as one of the best in the country.
JSU’s location in the heart of Mississippi’s capital city allows the university to serve as a cultural and intellectual landmark for the region, and also allows the college community to take advantage of the many nearby resources and attractions anytime. The campus is only a few blocks from Downtown, putting Jackson’s dining, nightlife, and historic cityscape at your fingertips.
Amtrak service from Union Station allows you to hop a train to Memphis or New Orleans for the weekend, and Bienville National Forest is just a short drive to the east. Apartments, houses, and condos near campus are often quite affordable, with rentals within easy walking distance sometimes available for under $400 per month.
