About Student Housing in Brookings
Brookings, South Dakota is a small prairie city built around South Dakota State University, the state's largest school, whose students dominate the town's roughly 24,000 residents. SDSU's campus and Jackrabbit athletics set the rhythm here, and life is refreshingly walkable and bikeable thanks to flat terrain and a compact layout. Downtown Brookings offers a tidy Main Avenue strip with shops, markets, and seasonal festivals, while green space is easy to find at Pioneer Park, the Larson Nature Area, and the trails along the city's bike-path network. The South Dakota Art Museum and the McCrory Gardens, a botanical garden and arboretum tied to the university, give you cultural and outdoor stops without leaving town.
