Review of Texas A & M University-Kingsville

from Mcallen, TX

Describe your college in three sentences.

TAMUK is a reserved campus where everybody has the opportunity to know everybody. The alumni, professors, and staff are very friendly and are willing to help out if need be. The campus itself is very homey and it's possible to walk from one side of the campus to the other in about eight minutes.

Do you have any tips for prospective students?

One tip would be to keep on top of your financial aid, as the staff themselves do not keep on top of it unless pressured to do so. Also stay on top of homework assignments and attendance as some professors do take into account attendance.

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

The classes themselves are hard depending on the professor. Some professors give more lecture than homework, and others provide more class work/ homework than lecture.

Describe the dorm life at your college.

The dorms themselves hold plenty of gatherings to try to bring the alumni together and often include prizes and food. It is rare that there are faults in the room, such as low battery on smoke detectors, paint or chips in the wall/room, etc. The rooms themselves are pretty spacious, if organized properly, but have plenty of room.

Describe the food and dining at your college.

Food selection is limited depending on where you go. There is a campus dining hall that provides a main entry, side, and salad bar. It also contains a sandwich bar and a hotdog/burger station. Hours vary depending on the dining hall you go to. There is other options on campus as well such as Subway, Chik-fil-a, Pizza Hut and Sushic.

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

If you are in an organization or sorority/fraternity, they help keep you busy with weekly meetings and recommended volunteer opportunities. There is also other groups that hold fairs, get together, etc that can help keep a student busy in spare time.

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

Campus feel fairly safe due to the emergency posts around the campus. Also with the police and security that stroll around the campus.
