This University is more of a commute school, kinda like a high school. It does have wonderful professors, clubs, degrees, and help for students. It is a good college to get your feet wet and then transfer to another college.
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
Keep your GPA in check! Always seek an advisor to make sure your on the right track. Join a club and attend the school workshops and events.
Do you find there’s enough academic rigor at your school?
It has not been difficult in my opinion so far. What makes classes difficult is if you aren't prepared, never show up for class, or expected it to be like high school. My basics have been alright but taking advance courses will be difficult.

I do not live in the dorms but I have heard that they are very nice. They just built a new building which has a pool and its gated. The dorms are mostly suits; living room, kitchen, two to three bedrooms, and a patio.
Describe the food and dining at your college.
We don't have that much of a dinning hall but our little dinner has a great variety. . It serves desserts, pizza, salads, tacos, hamburgers, and it even has specials on certain days of the week. The setting is very nice, you can sit outside or indoors and there are pool tables.
What’s there to do for fun at your college?
There is a movie theater in town which is at the mall, and a bowling alley. We are ten to twenty minutes away from South Padre Island which has the beach. South Padre Island is also the second place to go to for spring break.
Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?
I guess it depends on how much you go out like clubbing, bars, or shopping in general. The city is one of the poorest in the nation so I am gonna say not that much.
