You go much more in depth into the material than you do in high school courses. You are also allowed to talk about more topics that are discouraged in high school.
Do you enjoy the experience at your school?
If you do not join fraternities, sororities, clubs, or organizations, it is hard to make friends--don't think you HAVE to join anything to make friends, though. Living on campus helps get you settled in to your new life.
Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?
WAY cheaper than University of Texas and Texas A&M!
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
Wear shoes that support your feet. You will be walking up and down hills all day. Don't forget your bathing suit!--the San Marcos River runs straight through campus. Sewell Park is a really nice place to hang out!
Academics-wise: GO TO CLASS! You are here to learn--not nap and party your life away. You will have PLENTY of opportunities to do these things in time. A lot of teachers give extra credit to those who attend class regularly. Also, Study! Study! Study! Many teachers give 4 exams during the semester, and those are your ONLY grades.
Which types of students will excel at your college?
People who are outgoing, friendly, love the outdoors (scenery is amazing here!!!), and want to have a memorable college life!
Students wanting to major in Business, Health, Communications, and Geology.
