Jordin

When talking to my friends about Sam Houston State University, I brag about several things. I transferred to Sam Houston State University from BYU-Idaho. BYU-I does not have a football team, so I find myself bragging about going to football games and the atmosphere around it. The SHSU football team had an exceptional season, so I thoroughly enjoyed bragging about the teams accomplishments. Another thing I brag to my old college friends about is the diversity at Sam Houston State University. I was not expecting to have such multiracial classes, so it came as a pleasant surprise.

I brag about how great the criminal justice program is here. It's amazing. You make so many connections and get to meet a lot of different people in the field you want to work in some day. You also have great interships and we have an amazingly beautiful campus. It's very eonomic and it's reasonable to live on campus.

Charles

It's very quiet and calm. There isn't a lot of commotion on campus.

Linda

Sam Houston State University is a humongous school. Every time I see my friends and family I have a lot to brag about. The first days on campus, people came up to me and offered me if I needed help. When you're a freshman in college you do not expect people to come up to you and then become great friends. People are actually friendly here. It feels like home.

Abria

The diversity and the fact that Sam Houston is really a big family. We really support one another.

Seth

We have the number one criminal justice center in the world, and there is an eight to one girl to guy ratio!

Tony

How exceptional the professors are!

Heather

We are a small campus, so classes are smaller and there is a lot more one-on-one time available with the professors. The campus is absolutely gorgeous, and the groundskeepers put a lot of effort into keeping the school clean and looking perfect. We have so much school spirit here, and students support eachother in many, many ways.

Ashley

The thing I brag about most to my friends is the many friends people that attend Sam Houston State. I know no strangers here at Sam. Everyone is willing to talk to you and help you out in many different ways. The smaller class sizes also allow you to find friends that share same interest as you in your field of study. This is very important when forming study groups to help make it through the classes.

Kymberly

When I brag about SHSU, I tell others about the small town feeling that I felt as a student. The town and the campus itself is not very fast pased and that was good for me. The professors truly care about the education of the students and are always available for assistance. As an Alum of SHSU, I am also proud of how progressive the school is becoming with each passing year. Many new buildings are being erected. There are also many new degree programs that are starting soon such as the nursing program.
