Super Brilliant
You're spending around $20,000 a year to go to a crappy high school pretending to be a university.

The school itself sucks; it's ran by some old timers who have no intention of ever improving the school. The campus itself feels like a run-down high school and the technology here is behind 10 years. The degree here is worthless; absolutely no name recognition whatsoever. You'd be much, much better off going to Texas A&M, UT Austin, or even Texas State. At those schools you would get a marketable degree for 1/5th of the cost at TLU. Lots of companies in Texas have never even heard of TLU.

The kids here for the most part have a small town cliquish mentality. It's not a college environment where you get to befriend lots of new people. Most students here have their parents footing the bill and they don't really care that the cost of the school far exceeds what their salaries will be, assuming that they can get a job after TLU.

Seguin is a terrible town; the only reason I give it a D- instead of a F is because it's close proximity to San Antonio, Austin, and San Marcos. But you shouldn't have to go to other towns to have fun. Furthermore, Seguin is a huge drug town. Supposedly it's a halfway point for shipments of drugs coming and going to Houston, Austin, San Antonio, and DFW.

I transferred to A&M. There are so many schools in Texas that offer so much more for less money that it's foolish to even consider TLU.

DON’T WASTE YOUR TIME!!!
I have attended this school for the past 4 years and regret every moment of it. The Chemistry department as a whole needs a complete upgrade. The labs are falling apart and none of the instruments work. Also there is one professor (who is head of the department) who is unapproachable and looks down upon you. If you question the faculty about your grade all they can say is well that’s what you earned. Also half of your papers are lost and never get back to you. Now I am not saying the entire school is this way but the school does have its share of bad apples.
The school is a joke with lots of regulations and rules preventing anyone from having fun on campus. I can think of many other schools where I can get a much better education without costing me 20+ K a year and raising. I just can’t wait till the day the school comes asking me for a donation so I can blow them off as they deserve.
Also the school advertises how they have a 90% acceptance rate into medical school but this is not the case for this year alone not one student got in ( seems like the school is not doing its part).
Since the school only has about 1400 students and most of them go home every weekend do not plan on many social activities and the few parties there are you will see the same exact people every time. Boring!!!!!!!!
I hope this helps you as I wish I would have had this advice before I planned on attending TLU.

This is my 2nd year and I'm leaving after this semester. I brought a lot of AP credit here technically I'm kind of a junior. Oh God please please tell UT to accept me. I hate this school, I hate the faculty, I hate it, I hate it. The business faculty are just a bunch of old farts that teach the same stuff from a 100 years ago. The only younger instructor is a female suck-up that will crucify anyone to get ahead. She's a lawyer and insists we call her "doctor"...my dad is a professor in San Antonio and says she is feeling inferior and wants tenure. I hate going to a class and listen to some boring drivel for an hour and then do nothing but regurgitate the same crap back to them later on a test. This school sucks, the faculty sucks, the business office sucks, everything sucks...sucks suck sucks. Even if I don't get accepted to UT I'll even go to UTSA to get out of here. I have taken two classes here where the instructor couldn't even speak English.
