Sort By: [Date] [Major] [Rating] Unknown  Major Salary, Salary Trend, Satisfaction, Unemployment Quite Bright Probably seen initially as the step-child of the main Texas A&M University, TAMUCC is actually quite impressive. Over the past four years of attending I watched the campus grow in size, prestige, and amount of available resources. The technology there is really impressive and 90% of the buildings are new. One thing that struck me early on while attending is that the professors were overall very fair about testing. Also the majority of them were very open minded, interested in the students, and enjoyed the work they did. The professors in my department (Psychology) were wonderful. Truly were open to discussions, interpretation, and student involvement. The campus' school spirit isn't too high, and overall it's still a very small campus compared to many. The setting is beautiful - beaches, palm trees, warm weather, and so on. The city public transportation is pretty good if you choose to live off campus, which is easy to do (and WAY cheaper). The city life is ok. A few popular clubs, but Corpus is a small city, which is a great middle ground for city living. I had a lot of fun! There's also the beach which is REALLY popular- bon fires, beautiful night skies, and lots of beach parties pretty much every weekend if you're into that.

Typical bullpoop that I would rather not waste time on. Save youself. Another thing to remember here is that housing is severly overpriced both in the apartments and in the residence halls. Try having a roomate and paying $605 a month. For that one apartment, Camdon Miramar is making $1210. ABout the Mathematics program: Find another major and quickly. Avoid professors with a last name that starts with a G. Very difficult. Over half of the Calculus 1 class dropped and it was not because they were dumb, it was because the professor wanted people to prove history of mathematics that has taken centuries to compile. Calc II better, but avoid professors who do not follow the book. Labs attached to the math classes are a living nighmare. Grades are very nitpicky. There is only one right way to solve a problem here, and in math, there are usually many different ways to solve a problem. Creative thinking is not recognized enough at this university. ADVICE: Take lots of CLEP exams and avoid the core cirriculum. Some advisors are nice, others are demading. Stand up for yourself and don't get pushed around because they are trying to cover their butts. This is your education. Do whats right for you. P.S. The beach is nice but the thing you can't see in pictures is the smell of rotten fish. I am not kidding. University Resource Use: A+, Useful Schoolwork: D- Have a Question?

The teachers are amazing and TRULY care about their students, often times I (along with classmates) was even invited to dinners/bbqs and my professors homes. Our athletic teams are slowly but surely gaining the national recognition they diserve. Also, the school is small enough to find great friends, but large enough to learn from people of various backgrounds. There is little to no pressure to join any particular group or organizations, although most students do participate in something. The student housing cannot be beat! I have worked at other universities and trust me... Camden Miramar is better than pretty much anywhere. The main gripe students have is that the cost of hosing is a little hight, but it is worth it. As a graduate the only other problem I have encountered is that often people don't know about TAMUCC, they are unaware of how good the academics are and so they decide that the school must not be that great. It is up to our current students and our recruiters to build the reputation of TAMUCC as it is definitely an amazing insitiution of higher learning. I would highly reccomment this school to students.

Undergrad is what you make of it. I especially enjoyed the fact that in my major I got to know the professors very well. Preparedness: B, Reputation: D Have a Question?
