Texas State University Top Questions

It's a great school that welcomes anyone from any part of the world or background. I really enjoyed the spring semester . Overall great people attend school and everyone is going for their intended dreams.

I love my school. I am a Physics major and spend a great deal of time on campus at the College of Science and Engineering Department. I it is literally my home away from home. I have expressed this to my professors as well!

I really love my school because there is such a diverse population of students. The cultural multitude is something to admire because it's all so different than mine. Texas State University has about 37,000 students and I can appreciate the size because there are so many opportunities to meet and learn from others. People usually think of Texas State as a party school, but I don't that's entirely true. Just as other colleges have parties so does Texas State, but I don't think that should be the defining identifier for such a wonderful school. The most frequent complaint that I've heard about Texas State are all of the hills that you must get through to just get to your class. I don't mind the hills, helps keep the fat rolling right off!

I love not only the school, but the entire atmosphere of the town. It gives you the feel of a large university, along with the comfort of a small community.

The campus is beautiful

The best views are here. I love seeing the hills. Also, San Marcos has the outlet malls!!!!

The best thing about Texas State is: it is the ultimate all-around university that is a huge home to thousands of students from all backgrounds, and futures. It's the perfect size, not too big, not too small. The town of San Marcos is great, offering the river, our "downtown" called "the square" where you can shop, eat, dance and party. Once you declare your major, the students in all your classes become your second family. No matter what your passions are, Texas State offers a way to expand it. The people and faculty are the best you can get! The school pride can always grow, and tradition is something the students and asg are currently working on. It's unusual that students come to class in their swim suits, which means they were just at the river. "Frisbee Dan" is a man who is an expert at frisbee throwing and hangs out at Sewell Park everyday. He is almost like our mascot, minus the bobcat:)

The best thing about Texas State is the people. I have not met anyone here that I don't like, I mean it. I'm not in a sorority but I don't feel like I needed to be. People warned that if I don't go Greek, I will not be accepted and wont have any fun. I have actually met and become friends with with more "Greeks" than non, and feel very connected to the social scene, while maintaining my grades and work. On campus, people are polite and we have school spirit like I never expected to see. I would bet everyone has at least one hoodie and one t-shirt that sports the Bobcat logo. At the football games, we have school cheers and traditions that make me want to take off work so I can cheer along. I think students at Texas State feel connected to one another because we all know how to have a good time and we know we have to balance our fun with our education. We also know that because we are not products of the famous UT, we will have to try harder to prove our worth when it comes to landing internships and jobs. So, we stick together to overcome myths related to our school and that gives us pride and unification.

beautiful campus, river

I think Texas State has great pride within their students. You can travel a hundred miles in any direction and find cars with decals, people in hoodies and shirts and banners in bedrooms.
