Southwestern University

Life at Southwestern

There’s a feeling of unity that encircles the Southwestern campus, with countless activities, organizations, and ways to get involved.  Whether it’s Greek life, intramural sports, a religious organization or academic club, there’s a place for everyone. 

Nestled in the heart of the Hill Country, our location provides you with the best of both worlds: a buzzing campus in a picturesque Georgetown with convenient access to Austin, the Live Music Capital of the world.

Where We Live

We are a residential campus, which means our on-campus living program is an integral part of the total student experience. We believe, and research has shown, that students who live on campus enjoy greater academic success and are more likely to achieve in other areas such as teamwork, problem-solving, and leadership.
