Sort By: [Date] [Major] [Rating] Education  Major Salary, Salary Trend, Satisfaction, Unemployment Quite Bright My experience at TAMUK was one of great disappointment. This is definitely a commuter campus with little to no school spirit. It is tailored for the hispanic student, so please go and spend a few days (it will seem like a year) in Kingsville before deciding to attend. The coursework and curriculum provided by this school are sub-par. Even the professors joke about the difficulty of academics at this university. The services provided by the dormitories and the dormitories themselves are unspeakably bad. The school officials seem more intent on helping themselves than the students. None of the faculty seem to stay at the school for very long, one can only wonder as to why that is... The town is one large slum with little more to offer than a Walmart and Lowes. If you do not speak spanish you will have difficulty conversing with the townfolk and will find that you are at a cultural disadvantage. There is little entertainment in the area and the campus is deserted on the weekends as the majority of students go home during this time. Overall, it is not recommended that you attend this university unless you are looking for a dumbed down and unexciting college experience.

Also - the classes are so well knit that you meet people for life-long relationships. Starting Job: Projects Engineer, Preparedness: B+, Reputation: B Have a Question?

However, in hind-sight I'm glad I didn't. Being in a small town, with not much to do, helped to keep me focused on my studies. The student/teacher ratio was small enough to keep focus on the students as individuals and the profs were easily accessible - without having to make appointments as with larger universities.

I could have gone to UT-Austin or A&M-College Station, which are Texas' Flagship universities, but I chose to be here because it just seemed right for me. That's what is important anyway. I've spoken with all my friends and relatives that have gone to different universities and all say pretty much the same thing, "It really doesn't matter where you get your diploma, so long as you get one." With this logic in mind, they are all doing really well. It's a good school for the right personality. You come to get your education and then move on. Speaking of education, it's very well accredited. The business books I have to read here are the same books written and used at other schools. (including Ivy League) Like anything else, learning is what you make of it. Great engineering, ag/wildlife, and science programs. For those of you who do care about name, Texas A&M-Kingsville and the A&M System says enough. (Still part of the Flagship university) To sum it up, I enjoy the small classroom environment. I have built relationships with students and professors alike because of it. Especially the professors. I can't imagine asking for recommendation letters from professors that would probably look at me like I'm a stranger. Don't get me wrong, it's not all perfect here, but I don't think the negative outweighs the positive. Not by a long shot. It really is a jewel if you know what you want.
