Location
Texas State's main campus is in San Marcos, a growing community of nearly 50,000 people about halfway between Austin and San Antonio. Located on the edge of the Texas Hill Country, where black land prairies roll into beautiful hills, Texas State enjoys a setting that is unique among Texas universities.
The beauty of the crystal-clear San Marcos River and the stately cypress and pecan trees on the campus adds to the charm of the university's picturesque setting. Our location on the banks of the San Marcos River provides recreational activities for students throughout the year.
Since 2005, Texas State has also offered bachelor's and graduate-level courses in Round Rock, Texas, at our Round Rock Higher Education Center (RRHEC) campus, located north of Austin. More than 1,500 students are enrolled at the RRHEC.
San Marcos Campus
As the university's student population has grown-from 303 in 1903 to over 30,000 in 2009-our San Marcos campus, too, has expanded. Today it consists of a 471-acre main campus and 5,000 additional acres in recreational, instructional, farm and ranch land.
The Texas State campus is as diverse as the students who live and learn here. Our hilly campus is home to 225 buildings. Some, like Old Main, are as old as the university itself. Others, such as the brand-new McCoy Hall, with flat screen monitors rather than bulletin boards, and the Mitte Complex, which contains a high-tech clean room and microchip fabrication lab, are cutting-edge facilities.
