Sort By: [Date] [Major] [Rating] English  Major Salary, Salary Trend, Satisfaction, Unemployment Quite Bright I very much like the academic scene at SU. Academics, along with scholorship, brought me here. But it's the students which are driving me away. The school is very cliquish, especially the Greeks. If you're not part of a certain Greek clique, then going out will not be fun. On the other hand, there are also academic cliques. You are judged if you do want to have some fun and not study all the time. The theater kids are just as cliquish too. If you don't fall in to any of those catagories, your social experiance at SU will not be enjoyable. Perceived Campus Safety: A+, Social Life: F Have a Question?

It is a first-class education, and the students and faculty are quite open-minded, especially considering it's in the middle of Texas. It's also close enough to Austin that you have access to lots of places to let loose. That said, Georgetown is sort of a drag. I only wish I would have also attempted to gain admittance to other great universities like Rice or some east coast schools, for the prestige factor. SU is a well-known school in the region, but now that I live in New England, it doesn't carry as much weight. Faculty Accessibility: A+, Surrounding City: B Have a Question?

I found the professors to be wonderful -- they truly did care about you as a student and encouraged your professional growth. I had one professor in particular (who is no longer at SU) who was critical to my professional success. He taught me how to be analytical, to formulate my thoughts quickly and write. I have had many people comment on my ability to write, and I believe 95% of the credit goes to that professor. Southwestern changed me. It's not to say SU is perfect. It's not -- neither is any college. The hardest part of my education at SU was being a Latina. According to some students, that's changed. According to others, it hasn't. It is what you make it. I was touched and challenged by some brilliant professors who encouraged my intellectual curiousity. As others have said -- no, the social life is not all that. If you come for an education, I truly believe there are few places better. It combines intellectual rigor with professors who truly care. Preparedness: C, Reputation: B- Have a Question?
