Review of Texas A & M University-Kingsville

from Portland, TX

Do you feel you’re learning a lot?

All the professors here know how to teach students very well and keep learning interesting. I have a really awesome professor for History 1302, who I chose again for enjoying his 1301 class last semester, who constantly challenges us and keeps us interested. My English 1301 teacher is also my 1302 teacher because I chose to have him again. These are only two professors out of many and I am looking forward to meeting the rest and learning all that I can from them. Practically every teacher here has written a book on their studies and have earned their doctorates, so they are definitely credible in my opinion.

Do you enjoy the experience at your school?

Other students are friendly and cool. There are many free events that happen on a regular basis which are always fun to go to. The Campus Activity Board really knows how to keep students entertained. Surprisingly the dorm beds are comfortable, which I did not expect my first night in the dorm as a freshman. I am on my second semester and am looking forward to the others when they come.

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

I rated this 4 stars because sometimes the food quality isn't the best. About 1 out of every 5 visits to the cafeteria left much to be desired. Dorms are top notch though, as well as the new upgrades we're getting on campus. The new courtyard is always packed because of how great it is.

Do you have any tips for prospective students?

GO TO CLASS! One should never miss out on valuable information. You're paying for a higher education and you can't receive any if you don't even go to class. PAY ATTENTION! Missing something can really jeopardize your grade on the upcoming test. HAVE FUN! One never needs to become stressed out. Being stressed interferes with one's grades and one's behavior around others. There actually is quite a bit to do on and off campus, just walk around and you're sure to find something to do.

Which types of students will excel at your college?

There are many majors and minors to choose from at TAMUK. I am sure one looking to apply here will find whatever they are looking for.
