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.

Sul Ross may be for you or it may not? It all depends on you. It is a very different type of University. If you want to explore yourself then do it, and then prepared for the exodus that occur once upon completion. I can't tell you what was harder, adapting to Sul Ross / Alpine or leaving.

You make how much you put in Sul Ross, and what you get out of it. Sul Ross gave me an upper hand at experience in college. The employment service office is inadequte for Computer Science grads. So it had to be up to you to establish the contacts and resume. Remember the C.S. Graduated is the typical graduate program, were not teachers, bean counters, or ranchers. So we were basically the misfits of the university.

Sul Ross has treated me really well. I guess the bottom line is that your success after Sul Ross depends on you. But being a C.S. grad. I have notice that fellow Sul Ross alumni have worked for major corporations.

The university is typical in the administration level's.
Lot's of folks who couldn't cut it the private sector, but it not my place.

------Bottom line-------

If you considering Sul Ross then be mentally tough!!!

Sully is a great place to be. The campus is situated alongside the foothills of the Rocky Mountains. There is a lot of Texas mystique in the surrounding area. Some folks here think the campus is isolated but the reality is that we are in a small town that is creative in community activities. There are hot-air balloons, marathons, restaurants, and a national park not far away. In addition the McDonald Observatory is an impressive facility about 45 minutes away. SR is a good place to focus on one's study and one's self. I highly recommend it.
