The grounds of Sanjiang Normal College were established on the site of the [[Ming dynasty]]'s first [[Guozijian]], usually translated as the Imperial Academy. The institution had moved with the [[former capitals of China|national capitals]] of the [[Chinese dynasties|various dynasties]] throughout [[Chinese history]] but had originated under the [[Wu Emperor of Jin|Wu Emperor]] of the [[Jin dynasty (266–420)|Jin dynasty]], inspired by the royal schools of the [[Three Kingdoms]] such as the one established in Nanjing under [[Sun Xiu]] of [[Eastern Wu|Wu]] in 258.<ref>{{cite book |quote=追源始基，上自孫吳之興學、以逮明代之南雍、清季之三江兩江師範、民初之南高東大，皆與本校有歷史之淵源與密切之關係。茲將其沿革分述於後 |author=國立中央大學秘書處編纂組 |title=《國立中央大學沿革史》|year=1937|language=zh-HK }}</ref><ref>{{cite book |quote=南京之有國立學校實始於孫吳...。永安元年冬（西曆二五八年）詔立五經博士，令將吏子弟就業，是為南京有國立學校之初桄。|title=《國立中央大學沿革史》|author=國立中央大學秘書處編纂組 |year=1937|language=zh-HK }}</ref>

On 30 May of the same year, the [[Viceroy of Liangjiang]] [[Liu Kunyi]] submitted a document of preparing colleges to the Qing government, proposing to open normal college in [[Jiangning]] (Nanjing). In February 1903, the successor Viceroy of Liangjiang [[Zhang Zhidong]] submitted a proposal to open [[Sanjiang Normal College]] to government, and authorize [[Miao Quansun]] as a representative to Japan for investigation, who later was nominated as the inspector of Sanjiang Normal College and responsible for the project preparation.<ref name="s233">{{cite book | title=走向辉煌: 今日南京大学 | publisher=[[Nanjing University Press]] | year=1995 | isbn=978-7-305-02657-7 | url=https://books.google.com/books?id=eSRtAAAAIAAJ | language=zh | access-date=2024-07-31 | page=3}}</ref> In September 1903, Sanjiang Normal College officially opened.<ref name="a598">{{cite book | title=南京大学 | publisher=[[Zhejiang University Press]] | series=中国著名高校丛书 | year=1999 | isbn=978-7-308-02114-2 | url=https://books.google.com/books?id=o9xtAAAAIAAJ | language=zh | access-date=2024-07-31 | page=13}}</ref>

==Campus==
{{Unreferenced section|date=June 2021}}
[[File:中央大学旧址-体育馆2019.jpg|alt=|thumb|National Central University Sports Hall]]
There are 3 main campuses of Southeast University namely Sipailou Campus, Jiulonghu campus and Dingjiaqiao campus. Sipailou (Xuanwu District) and Dingjiaqiao campus (Gulou district) are in Nanjing city and Jiulonghu campus in suburbs of Nanjing (Jiangning District).

The Sipailou Campus of Southeast University is the flagship campus that is inherited from [[National Central University]]. It is located at 2 Sipailou, [[Nanjing]], China. In 1988, Pukou Campus which located in [[Pukou Campus]] across the [[Yangtze River]] was opened as another site mainly for the education of first and second year students ([[freshman]] and [[sophomore year|sophomores]]). However, in 2008 [[Pukou Campus]] was separated from Southeast University and was then acquired by [[Cheng Xian Institute]].

In 2001, SEU acquired three other colleges in Nanjing. They are: [[Nanjing Railway Medical College]], [[Nanjing College of Advanced Transportation]], as well as Nanjing Advanced School of Geology. [[Nanjing Railway Medical College]] became the [[School of Medicine]] at Southeast University after it merged with SEU. The medical school is located in Dingjiaqiao.

In 2005, when Jiulonghu Campus, located in [[Jiangning District]], was founded, the authority of Pukou Campus was transferred to the Chengxian College of Southeast University. Most of the undergraduate students and master students are studying at Jiulonghu Campus currently. After Jiulonghu Campus was opened, the Sipailou Campus basically includes some most important research institutes and administrations of the university.
Jiulonghu Campus is situated in the south of the Jiangning Technology Development District, to the east of Suyuan Avenue, west of Shuanglong Street, and south of Jiyin Street. It is around 20 kilometers away from the Sipailou Campus, with an area of 3749mu. The architecture design of Jiulonghu Campus follows the basis of Southeast University's culture, characterized in the combination of public teaching and research which compromises the merit of Chinese and Western styles, forming a green and active university community. The total building area in Jiulonghu Campus is 574 thousand square meters with the investment of 1.6 billion yuan.
