Texas State University Top Questions

Not enough classes are offered. It is always a struggle to get into the classes that you want and the specific time.

The fact that it is so small, yet it keeps accepting students in by the thousands it seems and room is running out!

It's built on a hill. That's not the greatest thing when it's scortching hot outside.

The fact that caucasians don't get much help financially. Also, financial aid does not take into account if your parents do not help you financially at all. If they make enough money, then the school won't help you out. It doesn't matter to them whether or not you are seeing any of the money.

The parking.

Everything is so expensive, including tuition and books especially.

Well i love my school, i wish they could help me with fin aid

The hills. They make it tough getting to class. Last year I had to live at the bottom of one and walk up to class everyday, which wasn't fun. And it was also hot most of the time, so that didn't help.

PARKING! I've had commuter parking sticker (what most of my friends have) and it proves to be totally pointless. When I had my sticker, I had an extremely difficult time finding open spaces and since then, they've decreased the commuter parking more. I noticed there's always an abundance of restricted(staff) parking... the commuter decrease was to make MORE restricted spaces. ALSO, because the school lets students register at assignedtimes, it's difficult to register for necessary classes. I've had this problem every semester since I've been here, moreso now with my upper level courses.

There are not NEARLY enough parking spaces for the amount of kids attending this college. Also, the tuition has increased substantially due to Texas State trying to join Division 1 colleges. This is good from an athletic point of view, but for most of kids going to college, this is a huge burden. The point of attending college is for academics and to get a degree; not to help pay for the athletic facilities.

too many students, not enough parking, more teacher parking than commuter

The traffic in the morning or the parking

Parking tickets are expensive and very strict at this school. The school uses it to make money

The tram! There's not enough of them! And the school keeps getting bigger and bigger!

The worst thing about my school is probably the bus (tram) system. I don't think there are enough buses going around campus because most of them are jam-packed and some even cause students to be late to class due to this.

Not sure if I can think of anything other than the hills. This school will give you a good workout from just getting from class to class, which is absolutely wonderful, unless you are in a hurry.
