TAMUK is a great school for those who want low student/teacher ratios, and a quite community you can learn in. Also - the classes are so well knit that you meet people for life-long relationships.

Had Kingsville not given me a full scholarship for my SAT scores I would have gone to another school. 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.

Super Brilliant
First off, I'm not here because I have to be, but because I chose to be. 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.

I transfered here from Lamar University in Beaumont. I like it much better here. The students are much more friendly here. Kingsville has a good engineering program and athletic Div. II program. This town is pretty small and is kinda boring somtimes and requires a 30 minute drive to Corpus in order to find entertainment.
