TAMUK offers an outstanding Engineering program. Small class sizes allow students to ask questions, receive help, and learn the material. The students and staff are friendly and helpful.
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
If you are interested in Pharmacy or Engineering, this school really does have amazing programs. Classes are not easy, but there is plenty of help available to make sure that you succeed.
Do you find there’s enough academic rigor at your school?
Just because TAMUK is a relatively small campus, does not mean that classes are relaxed. Teachers still demand high quality work.
Describe the dorm life at your college.
I do not live on campus. Two new dorms have been built on campus in order to house the growing number of students enrolled here. However, the older dorms are in poor condition and in need of remodeling.
Describe the food and dining at your college.
There are two cafeterias on campus: the main building, and one in Turner-Bishop Hall. Other than that, several restaurants are on or near campus including Pizza Hut, Chick-fil-a, Sushiya, Young's Pizza, and El Tapatio.
What’s there to do for fun at your college?
There are plenty of student organizations, events on campus, and occasionally events in Kingsville, Tx. Corpus Christi is only a half hour away and offers night life, theatres, and other entertainment venues.
Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?
TAMUK's tuition is much lower than other schools. The small size allows for individualized attention. In my opinion, TAMUK is a great value.
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus
Throwing tortillas at football games used to be 'the' thing to do, but recently, administrators have tried to ban this tradition due to injuries caused by tortillas which had been frozen or cooked before being thrown.
Which types of students will excel at your college?
TAMUK is great for laid-back, easy going, students. There is very little drama, and most students would like it to stay that way.
Are you involved in any clubs or activities?
Plenty of clubs and organizations. Creating an organization is simple and there is one for practically every hobby or interest. There is always something to do on campus.
How would you describe campus safety? Do you feel safe on campus?
Security lights all over campus. Well lit and police department on campus. I personally feel safe walking around campus, even at night.
