Sam Houston State University is an amazing school! If want to go to a school with a small town feel, small student to teacher ratio, and students that have great school spirit, then this is the school for you!
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
Visit the campus. Come to a football game. Go visit a class. Visit the shops in Downtown Huntsville. Really engage yourself to the college atmosphere when you come so you can make a good decision if Sam is the right school for you.
Do you find there’s enough academic rigor at your school?
The academics at Sam is not the hardest...but its not the easiest either. It really depends on what you are majoring in and studying. The professor s are very personable though and you can always go to their office hours for extra help or just to chat!
Describe the dorm life at your college.
Sam Houston State has some of the biggest dorm rooms compared to other colleges in Texas. There are no more than 2 people in a room, and the lowest end dorms share a bathroom with 4 people. There are lots of events to do within your dorm too, so get involved!
Describe the food and dining at your college.
Food and Dining is pretty good! We have a new facility, Old Main Market that was built in the summer of 2011 which has a great variety of food. We also have other fast food places on campus, like Paw Print and South Paw. What ever your fix or crave, you can get it at Sam!
What’s there to do for fun at your college?
There is always something to do for the most part at Sam. Movies, a sporting event, the club, a house party, or small restaurants to hang out with friends, there is plenty to do if you get involved and meet people.
Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?
SHSU is one of the cheapest universities in the state of Texas. You will get a good education here and wont break your bank or leave you will lots of students loans. It is VERY affordable, one of the main reason I came here myself!
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus
Nothing unusual, just lots of orange Bearkat spirit!!!! LO
Which types of students will excel at your college?
Sam is so diverse! All kinds of people are here at Sam, and everyone is really nice and friendly!
Are you involved in any clubs or activities?
Lots of clubs and organizations here on campus! Over 200+ clubs to join. If you cannot find one of those to fit your needs, you can make one!
Are you involved in any clubs or activities?
Greek Life is present here on at Sam. I would do research on it before coming to college so you can decide what sorority/fraternity is best for you.
How would you describe campus safety? Do you feel safe on campus?
If though Huntsville, is known for its prisons, we have SO much police here, its crazy. There is campus police, Huntsville police, county police that patrol all the time. You wont go a day without seeing a police car around, which is comforting for those who might be scared to come!
