Texas A & M University-Corpus Christi Top Questions

What do you consider the worst thing about your school? Why?

Joshua

The amount of peer pressure that revolves around pointless partying and the insecurities these peer pressures cause amongst students. Not only their sense of personal value is skewed, but their priorities are lost when they begin to fall victim to this social stigma. It becomes a danger to their self esteem and future success as well.

Skylar

The worst thing is probably the internet connection, it goes out constantly and it is hard to get work done on campus.

Karla

I would say the worst thing about my school are the dorms and their pricing. I think that on campus pricing was over priced because I lived off campus and paid less for more than some of my friends living on campus.

Liliana

Hardly any school spirit. I think this was the worst because there were a lot of missed opportunities to get to know a lot more students since we hardly have any athletic teams.

Brittney

I haven't actually attended A&M Corpus yet, but as of right now I don't see any downfalls or negatives. If i were to try really hard and think of some, I'd probably have to compain about the weather and how I can never have a good hair day or that everytime I step outside I feel I need to hop back into the shower from the unbearable sticky feeling. But if these are the only negatives of attending, which I'll be finding out soon, then I can deal with that.

Jake

The lack of drive from the majority of students. A lot of Corpus Christi college students don't push themselves in the pursuit of their degrees. They end up doing the bare minimum, instead of trying to get the most out of thier situation.

Tiauna

The worst thing about attending TAMUCC so far is the stray wild animals. I am personally not a big fan of animals and the fact that they linger around the dorms brings me much discomfort. They have not been a big problem but it is a concern.

Steven

The worst thing about the school is that it isn't focused on preparing students for the real world. In my major there were no classes or requirement focused on career development or job placement. I really feel that this school does a poor job of meeting students' post-graduation needs.

Logan

The worst part of Texas A&M is that for some of the core courses they have professors who teach more difficult classes try to teach the core as well. Lets just say it does not get broken down good enough to be able to understand the basics.

Rebecca

The worst part of the school is it is so far form home. but a close second would be the wind.

Genevieve

The worst thing about my school has to be that it is located right near the Gulf and also their apartments. Yes, you may wonder why being next to the beach is a bad thing. Well the other day the Hurricane Alex slightly hit and there was large amounts of rain and windy for days. Also, I am living in the apartments on campus, I was told they were to be in nice condition and obviously the convience alone is perfect. The stained carpet and burned tile alone set me off. I am currently looking for new housing.

Joseph

The lack of parking spaces. There are so many students and such limited amount of parking. I sometimes have to drive around for 20 to 30 minutes in order to find a parking spot unless I want to park in the really far parking lots. From the far parking lots its about a 10 to 15 minute walk to classes.

Otilio

There isnt anyhting bad abour my current school it is fantastic they have anything and everything here for.

Barry

the worst thing about the school is probably there should be more eateries.

Paul

The worst thing about Texas A&M Corpus isnt the school or the teachers itsdealing with the constant 30mph wind. Itcan keep you cool on a sunny day but most days it will blow you off your path trying to goto class.

Morgan

There is not much at TAMUCC that needs to be improved. They have exquisit facilities, offer numerous programs to get each student involved in the school, and their dedication to the success of each student through the programs provide to assist students is marvelous. As a communications major, the only downfall I have found in Texas A&M at Corpus Christi would be their course offerings for my particular major. The courses are not offered each semester and have very limited availability.

Ariel

There is an enormous amount of drug use (mostly marjiuana) which I believe is one of the main reasons for the overwhelming academic apathy among students. Also, the student body is overwhlemingly liberal. This leads to outstandingly large amounts of acceptance of inappropriate things such as pornography, drugs, alochol, etc. etc. This is not the fault of the school, though. The school is trying to fight it as best they can. It's simply the student body that doesn't care.

Crystal

Parking and organization of classes/class schedules

Jessica

My school is a school of diversity we have students from all over the world. We are an international student headquarters, you would think that our classes would be the same. The school has a very little language class variety we offer french, german, and spanish you would think that with such i wide vairety of students we would have more. We have students from Turkey, China, Italy, Belguim, Japan and many more our school is prided on its international students yet they only offer these three language classes, I only want for there to be more of a selection.

Eliane

The only thing I find irksome about TAMU-CC is the parking problem - there is simply not enough room for all of the students and faculty.

Kelly

Small acreage available since we are located on an island.

Jessica

Some of the teachers don't teach very well when it comes to teaching they don't quite know how to help and they give you too much work even for your freshmen year.

Ernesto

The worst thing is that there is not much to do in the city around the shcool.

Rebecca

The administration has gotten too comfortable making deals with corporations. They are not likely to listen to student complaints and change is hard. Students have to push environmentalism and minimal efforts are made to create sustainability or a smaller footprint. Our school is growing too fast in numbers for infrastructure to catch up.

Cari

There is not enough parking. Every Tuesday and Thursday, the campus police do the best they can to help with this outrageous parking situation. For the past two years, parking has never been such a problem as it is today. I would suggest to possibly build a parking garage to help control the situation. A parking garage is a practical economical solution to the parking problem. By having to park farther away, students are late for their classes and come to class smelly and sweaty.

Courtney

I consider the fact that my school is in Corpus Christi to be the worst part of it. I can't stand this location but I love the school.
