Review of Texas A & M University-Corpus Christi

from Ingleside, TX

Do you feel you’re learning a lot?

I am a biomedical sciences major, so most of the curriculum I am taking consists of science courses. These classes are challenging and keep you working, but the education you receive is well worth the effort. The professors are kind and are willing to listen to any problems you are having as well as help you through these problems. At bigger universities it is harder to have one on one time with the professors, which could lead to struggling through the class.

Do you enjoy the experience at your school?

I must admit this was not my first choice college, but it was the only college in which I applied that ended up having the major I chose. I do enjoy the classes and the interaction between student and professor, but Corpus does not hold much entertainment for students. There are sports, concerts, clubs, as well as malls, but no other sources that are cheaper for the struggling college students.

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

Compared to other four year universities, this college is inexpensive and easier to prepare for. Bigger universities such as A&M College Station are much more expensive and the teacher to student ratio is much larger which is also a downside. I think A&M Corpus Christi is a great bang for your buck!

Do you have any tips for prospective students?

It is easy for college students to get caught up in partying which is only natural, but I would have to say to also stay focused on what you want from college and how well you would like to do. If you get to caught up in college life you might find yourself not doing as well as you anticipated.

Which types of students will excel at your college?

This school is great for dedicated students who want a good education as well as students that want to experience the college life. There is great interaction between students and professors, which is great for those determined students, but there are also many student groups and sports teams for the student looking to have fun.
