About Student Housing in Slippery Rock
Slippery Rock is a small borough in Butler County in western Pennsylvania with a population of roughly 3,700, a figure that swells significantly during the academic year due to Slippery Rock University. The town exists in a classic symbiotic relationship with SRU - virtually every local business, restaurant, and service provider caters in some way to the student population. Situated about 50 miles north of Pittsburgh along Route 108, Slippery Rock offers a genuinely small-town atmosphere with access to nature through the nearby Jennings Environmental Education Center and Moraine State Park. The downtown corridor along North Main Street provides basic dining and convenience options, and the wider Pittsburgh metro is reachable by car within an hour.
