Texas Southern University is a fine institution, despite all the negative trash people say about it. Taking courses in chemistry, biology, and math at this college really made me see the important role that the classes played not only in science, but even in life. While, in high school I took interest in these courses, but never took notice to the roles they play in everyone's life. Everything is made of matter right? Matter boils down to chemistry. Everyone shares a similar genetic makeup and that boils down to biology. Each measured quantity, distance, and time boils down to math, right?
Do you enjoy the experience at your school?
Of course not, ahem excuse my sarcasm. I have really branched out when I began Texas Southern University I have met several members in the honors college. Also member in the organizations I am in. My main victory is taking on an executive position of the pre-health professions club. The only thing I would have negative to say is, at times my university feels like a party school; because when I am at home I was surrounded by people that were serious and did not overly indulged in this party craziness. I would not say that I do not have fun from time to time, but I will say that I am able to effectively divide the time for work and time for play.
Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?
Yes, yes, and yes Texas Southern University gives opportunities for many scholarships and room for financial aid, but this is also great but I really need money to save for pharmacy school; therefore, what they offer is fine and dandy but not enough to see my way through pharmacy school. They need to grant pre-pharmacy students with more scholarship opportunities because the scholarships for pre-pharmacy students are scarce, if they can improve this I would be extremely grateful.
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
Being in college for over one semester has opened my eyes to a lot of things. When I was in high school, I dispelled many of the college myths, and I never envisioned college to be different from high school. I will advise prospective students to do the same, if I had a chance to go back in time and talk to myself as a high school senior I would advise myself to be careful of the people I surround myself with, become more involved in extracurricular activities, and to budget my money wisely. Firstly I will advise myself to be careful of the people I associate with to avoid negative influences. Moreover, I will also advise myself to be very involved in extracurricular activities as this will help increase my network and hone my leadership abilities. Finally, I will advise myself to budget and spend resourcefully because college expenses are constantly on the rise and it is only wise to spend intelligently and save for the rainy days to come. College has been a learning experience for me and I hope to continue to provide for my institution. It is not what the institution can do for you; it is about what you can do for your institution.
Which types of students will excel at your college?
Texas Southern University does not make you; you make Texas Southern University to what you want it to be. My university is growing into a diverse community although it is a historically black college, but if you want to go to an institution that provides opportunities such as internships, scholarships, and study abroad TSU would be a great school for you. The College of Pharmacy and Health Sciences is by far the best college you could attend, I am not saying this because I am a pharmacy major. Maybe I am, but to get down to the main point Texas Southern University is where you want to be and that’s the honest truth.
