Jason - 07/04/2020

It’s a great school but the financial aid department slacks. It’s Ana amazing school with great professors. The professors tend to keep class energized and are amazing at staying focused. I love the small classes to help stay focus. Friendly students all around

Maryanna - 04/08/2020

Sul Ross State University is a great school to attend! I pay out of pocket but it is still affordable to where I only need to work one job to pay for my school and that includes my rent and utilities and other personal bills. The staff and students are personable and always there to help anyone who needs the help! The community around is also great and very helpful.

    I did not attend Sul Ross, but two of my sons did. One graduated from there, the other transferred to another university (following his girlfriend at the time!). I loved working with the Sul Ross staff. Everyone was always helpful and friendly. Parents can be just as confused as students when getting their child ready for college. Sul Ross made the whole experience a good one!

    I came from a small town not too much larger than this, and in truth I find Alpine much more interesting than that of my hometown.

There are people that are attending here that are from areas that surrounded my home, which makes me feel more connected but I lack my hometown comradery
