Texas A&M University- Kingsville is a wonderful school. This is currently my fourth year here and I have gotten to know most of the psychology professors and other faculty members. I have learned that they are great people who will work beyond their work hours to help students out.
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
Do not be late to class. Some professors will pretend like they didn't notice you were late, but at the end of the semester you will realize that they kept track of everyone who was late.
Do not miss class because you need to catch up on other homework. You WILL have time to do all of your work on time, this is coming from a fourth-year student with a job and current Psychology club president.
Get to know your professors. If an emergency pops up, you can easily talk to professors who know you and try to work something out.
Do not procrastinate. I have never been one to go out and party every week, so I have never pulled an all-nighter. I am an A & B student because I know how to prioritize. I am not saying to stay in your dorm all day, just know the difference between relaxing time and time to get to work time
Do you find there’s enough academic rigor at your school?
I have learned a lot from these professors. Each professor that I have had so far have taught the students beyond the books. We have learned by hearing personal experiences life lessons.
Describe the dorm life at your college.
I love the dorm life. I currently have a dorm to myself and it is great. It is a little pricey, but it is cheaper than most of the apartments nearby. It is also a lot more convenient because I currently do not have a car, so I can walk to and from class with minutes to spare.
Describe the food and dining at your college.
I honestly do not like the food on campus. I loved it my freshman year because I was new, but as the years went by, I realized that all they served were pasta, pizza, and burgers.
I do, however, LOVE the Thanksgiving dinner at the dining hall! I do not have a meal plan but I will go and pay whatever amount I need to pay to be able to eat the delicious turkey.
What’s there to do for fun at your college?
If you are a party person, there are a few bars.
If you are like me, there are organizations on campus with great people. I met some of the greatest friends I've ever had on campus and we usually go to the movies or to dinner for a good time.
Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?
You get what you paid for. Tuition is a little pricey, but this campus is great. Grass is cut, computers work, there are no buildings falling apart. What more could you want?
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus
An unusual tradition is the throwing of the tortillas when our football teams scores a touchdown.
Which types of students will excel at your college?
Great for any types of students.
Especially for music majors and engineer majors. Their department is great.
Are you involved in any clubs or activities?
There are over 50 organizations that you can join, from psychology club to sororities. You get to meet great people.
