Campus
The oak-studded Sam Houston State University main campus sits on 272 acres (1.10 km2) in the central area of Huntsville. Two large agricultural complexes feature a 1,600 acre teaching and research farm and a rodeo arena. The campus also features a planetarium, an observatory, and a 18-hole golf course named Raven Nest. The mall area of the main campus includes two clock towers and a water fountain. SHSU claims to be one of the most "wired" universities in the country.
The campus stood in for the fictional Austin University in the motion picture The Life of David Gale.
