I think Texas State would be a great school for any type of person. I do believe though, that in order to do well here, you would need to be a dedicated and self-driven student. Having the opportunity to do so many fun, summer, water-related activities outside gives students an excuse to skip class or breeze by their homework or studying. I believe anyone could be happy here but succeding would be a matter of self-determination and will power. You have to be dedicated to make it at any university!!

Texas State is known for being a "party school", but even if you do not like to party, there are plenty of other things to do.
