About Student Housing in Stephenville
Stephenville, TX is a small Cross Timbers town about 70 miles southwest of Fort Worth, and Tarleton State University gives it a steady student pulse the second classes start. The city built itself around a historic courthouse square, where murals, live music nights, and seasonal festivals keep downtown busy after dark. Tarleton students fan out into the residential streets ringing campus, so most of town sits a short hop from class. For green space, the Bosque River Trail links City Park to the square along a wooded ribbon of river, and the 112-acre City Park stacks ball fields, an amphitheater, and a skate park. Stephenville leans hard into its Cowboy Capital identity, with rodeo culture and a music scene that punches above the town's size.
