Review of Sul Ross State University

from San Elizario, TX

Describe your college in three sentences.

I Love Sul Ross because while being here i have met some incredible people that have made an impact in my life. I like it because with it being small i can get my work done and be with friends. One of the best things here would probably have to be the small classes and you dont have to walk far to go from class to class.

Do you have any tips for prospective students?

Make the schedule how you want it and if youre trying to save money make sure you give your self a lunch break during the dining hall hours. You dont want to set up class after class and not have a lunch break. Another thing is stay busy, make some friends or join a club it will help you when you miss home.

Do you find there’s enough academic rigor at your school?

The classes are small and it is easier to connect with your professors. A lot of the time they will even know your name. Just make sure to show up to class because they will know when you are missing, which is a good thing because it will keep you from skipping classes a lot.

Describe the dorm life at your college.

I actually enjoy the dorms here at Sul Ross, In the Lobo Villages which are the nicer dorms you live a little like being in an apartment since you have your own dorms. If you like being on social media, there's wifi to stay busy. The RA's are really cool and very helpful and will try to be your friend.

Describe the food and dining at your college.

I love the food it is a buffet, A lot of the times students try to stay away from that Freshmen 20 or whatever which is when you gain like 20 pounds your freshmen year. So the dining hall provides a salad bar. Now if you just want to eat pizza or burgers they have that too!! Dont forget about the dessert.

What’s there to do for fun at your college?

When im not in class or working there are always things you can do you just have to find them. If you like video games or things of that sort we have a room in the library where you can go play or wifi in the dorms to stay and play. If you like pool there is a game room in the University Center which offers pool, ping pong and even a big screen tv to watch the Superbowl. And don't forget the the gym where there are Intramural Sports, a pool and a gym.

Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?

Earning your college degree is your Bang For The Buck

Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus

We have a couple desks on the hill near to us and you have to go find it and sign your name in a journal. It is fun to see all of the students before you that have signed it. Also like Texas A&M we have a sully sculpture where we get to dress him up and the next person gets to replace what he has with something of their own.

Which types of students will excel at your college?

Sports are easier to get into here than in a division 1 college and you will have better grades than in a bigger university

Are you involved in any clubs or activities?

There are A lot of Activities i am currently in three. I am in Newman Club which is like a religious youth group and everybody is welcome of course. I am Also in SSS which is a group where we tr to raise money to go on a trip. I am also in Rotoract Club which is a club where you get to volunteer and help people in need, and finally in Sully Productions which is a group where you help set up events on campus

Are you involved in any clubs or activities?

NONE

How would you describe campus safety? Do you feel safe on campus?

We have our own campus police, and some huge lights in the Middle of the school that if you feel in danger you can press it and it will alert the police.
