Texas State University Top Questions

Walking up some steep hills to class, and the current consturuction.

It seems like there is a gap between housings. Some dorms are really nice but others can be kind of rough. Parking can be frustrating and there is a strict on campus housing requirement that causes limited dorm spaces and overbooking of dorms.

Temporarily, they are renovating areas of the school and there is alot of construction to better the quality of the school and the construction makes some inconveniences getting around sometimes.

Parking for students. This year, it tore up a parking lot with 17 handicap spaces and placed a statue of a bobcat (school mascot) with grass & benches in their place.

This campus while beautiful is very spread out and sits in the middle of the town. The lack of parking beomes a real problem. Sometimes you have to drive around for an hour before you can find parking. These is no parking for visitors. Student/visitors receive parking fines daily.

That It is way cheaper than other schools, but i still have to pay out of pocket for school. I just struggle to support my wife and myself and pay for both of us to go to school.

They are in no way helpful when you are trying to find a job when you graduate.

Perhaps the most frustrating thing is also the thing that will help our campus become more widely noticed. The construction and increase in tuition. The construction is going very smooth and the raise in tuition is to support our football team at its run at division 1 ball. Hopefully one day we will be looked at like we should. This school is great, the education being received is exceptional (had to help friends at UT with same subjects I was taking), and needs more recognition.

The only thing I would say is that many students do not appreciate what a wonderful university this is. There is not as much school spirit as there should be, especially with the University of Texas just a couple of miles away.
