The school looks nice as far as the building itself is concerned. Tuition is fairly cheap. Some of the faculty is helpful and knowledgable. That sums up the pros. Now for the cons. Much of the faculty is extremely hard to get a hold of...won't mention names. One teacher teaches out of a book edition not even carried by the school anymore. You might spend an hour trying to get a hold of someone on the phone because noone seems to be able to pick one up when you call. If you do reach someone, they transfer you to a voicemail because the person you are really trying to reach is never at their desk (even during office hours). My advise is as follows: If you are not limited to this school as I am, find another school to attend. Yes the tuition is fairly cheap but that just reflects the type of service you get from the school. The instructors tend to forget that you pay their salaries. It's ultimately your choice to apply but you have been warned if you decide to attend this school.

Sul Ross has a few programs for which it is highly suited. I'm a geology major and I can say that the program is excellent, and the Trans-Pecos region is a wonderful "classroom" for geosciences. If you want a business or law degree, search elsewhere. The math department is above average, while the computer science department is absolute crap. Education majors will contend with many poor teachers, while science majors will find the faculty and staff more than adequate.

I don't regret my year here at Sul Ross, but likewise I wouldn't recommend the place for anyone truly seeking academia and the rigors of university life. The academic extracurriculars that are stellar (all one or two of them) are poorly funded. On the flip side, some people --though perhaps not brilliant people-- are very friendly, and you'll be surprised how much you can find to do in a tiny town. If you like drinking every weeknight, easy grades, and you don't need too many cultural stimuli, SRSU might be right up your alley.
