Sam Houston State University Top Questions

What kind of person should not attend Sam Houston State University?

Tatum

I feel that any kind of person can attend this school. However, if you like the big city life I would definitely not reccommend this school. Huntsville is farely small, but its only about an hour and a half to Houston and 3 or 4 hours from Austin.

Marissa

Someone who isn't willing to put in the work to deal with the academic pressures of being in a 4 year university.

Ashley

Someone who is not ready to walk to classes, be flexable with class work and be ready for difficult work.

Matthew

I don't think anyone should be excluded from attending college based on anything other than their own personal decision. College is a necessary part of becoming an adult as well as providing the education needed to enter the work force as a productive member of society. SHSU, or any college, gives students a foundation to begin a life apart from childhood. Our whole lives are built and enhanced on what we learn from others. No single person should be excluded from the benefits of learning.

Madeline

In my opinion everyone has the right to attend this school if you are willing to work. Someone who lacks work ethic and does not show an interest in getting involved should reconsider their college preference. The Sam Houston community is close knit and I feel as if everyone should be involved in some way.

Stephanie

If you are a person who enjoys urban living and being in a big city, SHSU might not be the college for you. It is a pretty small town with some activities to do while not in school, but not many. If you have a hard time making friends, you might also not like SHSU due to the many commuter students who attend. The town is pretty dead on the weekends.

Gabrielle

I believe that like any school if you dont really wanna go to that school then dont. If you are a party person this is not the school for you.

Kyra

A person that is not willing to get involved should not attend this school. We are very involveled with our community and with so many organizations it is hard to not be involved. Also most students that go to sam houston are known for having southern manners and being respectful and do not take kidly to rude, dishonest people.

Daniela

A person who doesn't have a car.

Mallory

A close minded person who does not wish to have new experiences should not attend Sam Houston University.
