Sam Houston State University is one of the oldest public universities in Texas, located about an hour north of Houston in the small city of Huntsville. Students at SHSU account for a huge portion of the population in Huntsville, and the university is certainly the focal point of the community. Originally founded as a teachers’ college, education remains the most popular major, although the banking, performing arts, mathematics, and criminal justice programs are highly regarded as well. True to the institution’s namesake, the university also offers a unique selection of courses in Texas Studies. The south side of campus is where you’ll find most of the main university buildings; the neighborhoods near this area are full of great apartments, condos, and rental houses to fit any budget, making it easy to find an affordable place to live with convenient access to whatever part of campus you’ll be frequenting.
