Setting the standard for academic excellence in the Highland Rim region

Public Urban River APSU Governors

Since opening its doors in 1927, Austin Peay State University has established itself as one of the most important institutions in the region. The outstanding academic opportunities are bolstered by two Centers of Excellence (one for the Creative Arts, another for Field Biology), which bring working professionals to the university to provide firsthand insights on their respective fields to the student body. The Austin Peay campus forms one of the major cornerstones of Downtown Clarksville, and many of the city’s most popular after-hours hangouts are only as few blocks away from the major university buildings. The riverfront dance club Electric Cowboy is a perennial favorite on the weekends, and the eclectic dining scene includes excellent restaurants serving up everything from Cajun to Thai cuisine.

The nearby neighborhoods feature many highly affordable rentals, making it easy to find an apartment, condo, or house within walking distance of campus without breaking the bank. Nashville is only 45 minutes away, making it easy to spend a day in the Music City anytime the urges strikes.
