About Student Housing in Jonesboro
Jonesboro, Arkansas is the hub of Northeast Arkansas, a regional center perched on Crowley's Ridge above the flat Mississippi Delta, and it's anchored by Arkansas State University and its Red Wolves. A-State sits a couple miles from a historic downtown and drives a lot of the city's culture, from football at Centennial Bank Stadium to shows at the Fowler Center and exhibits at the Bradbury Art Museum. Named areas like the university district, downtown, and Turtle Creek give students different speeds, and the 692-acre Craighead Forest Park offers trails, fishing, and disc golf right in town. For students, Jonesboro is a friendly, spread-out city where most housing clusters close to A-State and the green space is genuinely good.
