The best thing about my school is that we are a very integrated campus. Here, at Texas State, we do not discriminate against anyone and we unite as a family to provide a strong support system and spread the word to stop discimination. We take part in numerous programs to be there for one another, so no one feels left behind or alone. As a university, it is an awesome feeling to have a ton of people froma variety of different backgrounds come together as a whole and fight for our rights and for the things we believe in.

I would say that the best thing about Texas State University is the diversity of the students. This is a very large school with many different types of people from literally all over the world. It is amazing to learn about other cultures and traditions as well as teaching one's own to their new found friends.

The best things I consider about my school is, the friendlyness. Everyone that is at the campus is so friendly to everyone, even if they do not know you. Young gentlemen will let a young woman have his bus seat if she is standing. I love the people at this school. I also love the Health Professions program. It is one of the best programs in the U.S. The program is well known and has great professors teaching the students.

Craig

Everyone feels a part of the campus. Everyone is so friendly and helpful. I thoroughly enjoy the enviornment.

Myra

The best thing I consider about my school is the numerous job fairs that the campus hosts. Just about every month the university hosts a job fair that enables students to talk to big corporate names and allow them the opportunity to gain an internship or full time position post graduation or before. It puts students name out there for companies to know and gain interest in these potential associates. It also allows students to branch out and discover new horizons that they can achieve after they graduate.

Moriah

The best thing about my school would have to be the community. The Texas State campus is very large, but there are a small number of students and so students are able to get closer with each other, classes are smaller, and each professor is required to hold office hours so that they can provide all the help the student needs in order to succeed.

The best thing about Texas State University is the campus. The campus offers scenic views, a river that runs right through campus and it's right in the middle of the city.

Rosa

I love the campus lifestyle, the people here are truly amazing and really nice. There's never a day when someone won't help you, and there's always something you can do with an organization that you're part of. And those organizations actually do help you make friends and get better chances for work opportunities in the future.

The school that I am attending is diverse and encourages socialization among students. This school also places a very strong emphasis on academics. With this school as with most other things if you work hard and put in the effort you will get the quality education you deserve This school also encourages that you study out of classes as well and leaves the facilities open for you. This campus has a friendly atmosphere that is positive and encouraging. The school does promote activities such as volunteering and community service. This also helps out the commuinity around the campus

Kimberly

The best thing about my school is the location. San Marcos is beautiful and its proximity to Austin leaves students with many options for entertainment. This makes it a fun enviroment to learn. Texas State is definitely located in the heart of Texas with some of Texas' greatest cities near by where students can experience many different culture aspects and broaden their learning.

Candace

The best thing, in my opinion about my school is its constant outreach to students whether it is through academic service such as tutoring or through organizations. Texas State is a great school to get involved in and I can promise anyone who decides they wanted to attend this college they too will be able to find a place where they belong and can grow in education as well as involvement and most importantly a place for spiritual needs. There are many programs such as bible studies, youth groups and churches close by and even on campus easily available.

Alyssa

Texas State University is equally diverse in every way. The social life at school is the best thing here. I love it because I have had the oppurtunity to meet so many people of so many backgrounds. Another great thing about Texas State are the professors. There so easy to talk to and easy to contact, which is great.

One of the best things that I love about my school is how diverse my campus is. There are thousands of different people I see in the quad every day, people coming from every race, country, and they all have different views on life. The diversity of Texas State is something I cherish because I get to meet so many people and see what and where they come from.

Haley

The professors are wonderful! Sure there's a "bad egg" that everyone tries to avoid, but overall the teachers are amazing. They all encourage (and even require) personal stories, contribution to the discussion, and very open to people's lifestyles. In fact - they welcome it. They want their students to see that there is more in the world than what you see in your backyard. They are helpful, approachable, and they show lots of patience with their students. They are, by far, the best thing at the school.

Taylor

The best thing about Texas State is the campus. It literally runs right over a river, which is awesome for days you don't have to be in class. The campus is big, but not too big. It's just the right size and it is not overwhelming at all. Studens learn their way around very quickly! It's 30 minutes from Austin and very close to the outlets, so there is always lots to do on the weekends.

Katherine

The professors. The professors at Texas State truly care about the success of their students. They want nothing but the best for us.

Kristine

The teachers are willing to help the students. The school offers so many opportunities to the students such as internship opportunities and job shadowing. The school has many different speakers that visit, all with something to learn from and open to all students free of charge. The school is well retained and takes pride in it's students.

Anna

I think the best thing about the school is the campus and instructors. The campus is very easy to figure out if you are a freshman. It seems confusing at first, but everything is close even though it's a bigger school. The instructors are approachable and considerate of you as a student.

Spencer

There are numerous resources offered and explained to all new students. There are many different ways for students to find groups to study, as well as several different places to recieve free tutoring. The resource center is also very helpful with helping students find jobs on and off campus to help pay for school.

Kirby

The environment in which Texas State University is set is the best part of the University. The campus is set in the Texas hill country, and is absolutely beautiful. The San Marcos River runs through campus, with a park that is open only to the students and faculty of Texas State. The beauty of the campus and surrounding area makes it a wonderful place to live and learn. No matter what time of year, outside is the best place to be. I wouldn't want to learn anywhere else.

michael

The great programs they have available. They have over 100 bachelors degrees and over 80 masters degrees and some great doctoral degree programs as well. Including things like a five year plan for accounting where you get your bachelors and masters after you are finished.

Ernest

The best thing about Texas State University is that the professors are very knowledgable and approachable. I came to this universiy from a very small high school. I was very concerned that I would be lost in the crowd, however, the professors here let me know that they are here to help me. They have made my transition to college life very easy.

Tracy

Texas State University is a big university with a small-town feel. The staff is the key to their success, from the professors to the cleaning crew, you can't find friendlier people. Everyone at Texas State is helpful and supportive and you just feel like you belong to this huge family or a very small town within a town.

Adam

The best thing about Texas State compared to other schools is the faculty. When I was visiting different campuses, the faculty made the biggest impact on my decision. At some of the bigger schools, a student can begin to feel he is just a number, however at Texas State that is not the case. The faculty shows a genuine interest in their students, which is why I feel that Texas State has some of the best instructors in the state of Texas.

Ariel

What I consider the best thing about Texas State is the resources provided. There is a writing center to get papers reviewed, a lab to listen to speeches, a floor dedicated to helping students with classes, SI that sit in the classrooms and hold study sessions, and the list never seems to end. I am so fortunate to have all these programs without cost whenever I need it.

Gabrielle

The best thing about this school is the football games. Its really neat to see how many students come out to support our team. Many students tail-gate before a game and its a great way to make friends or hang out and meet new people. Its also a great way to raise spirit for the team.

Katie

I think that the best thing about my school is the teaching program. I transfered to this school after two years at a community college so I haven't had the opportunity to experience much of the "college life" here. I came to this school because of their excellent program for future teachers and I have been very impressed. They work with many local schools so that we can get great hand-on experience and I feel that when I graduate I will be very prepared to handle my own classroom.

Justin

One of the best things about Texas State Universtiy is that there is always something to get involved in. Whoever you are, there is an organization here on this campus that you can fit in to. Also, the campus is very pretty and many of the buildings are close together so you usually don't have to walk far in between classes. The professors and other students here are very friendly and th night life in San Marcos is also very pleasant. The square is the place off campus where many of the bars are and it is always fun.

Tamara

It is open to all sorts of people with a great support system. I feel like I have learned a great deal and will be well prepared for a job in my field when I graduate.

Javier

erika

I love the resources that are available to us. We have computer labs that stay open all night, quiet floors in the library, a writing center, homework assistance in the library, and a list of other things. I love the wonderful resources because I've used most of them and have definitely benefited.

THE ENVIRONMENT, THE TEACHERS, THE DANCE PROGRAM, AND THE SMALL COLLEGE FEELING (EVEN THOUGH IT IS VERY LARGE WITH 28,000+ PEOPLE)

Amber

The atmosphere of the city and the campus is amazing. The people are really friendly and are easy to have fun with. The school spirit is also really high. You see Texas State shirts on nearly everyone and stickers on most cars.

The students, there is a very diverse population of very open minded people that go to school here.
