Statistical Analyzer:

I transferred to SWT/TxState from UT after changing majors from Computer Science to English (to teach) and realizing that the extra $3K-$5K per year at UT would have no bearing on my employment.

The English department, foreign language department, and education school (I spent most of my time in those courses) all had solid, devoted, and educated faculty. The teaching school was a little lower on the "educated" scale, but I never felt as though I was being given busy work or pointless exercises. The teaching school was the only place that ever treated me "like just another number," but the other departments were open and helpful.

I left with what I felt was a good education in English, was employed so quickly that I skipped graduation ceremony to be at work, and have subsequently gotten into a well-regarded law school.

If you spend your life in the business school or the teaching school, be prepared for the fact that those are common areas selected by the Greeks. I never personally had a complaint with sorority/fraternity members themselves, but many on this site did so it's obviously a sticking point. Diversity-wise, though, you're going to find a lot of the same types of people in those programs - they're generally limited to those people who went to school because it was what they were supposed to do. Go take upper level classes in either liberal arts or math/science and you'll see that there are a lot of different kinds of folks at this school. People complaining about the lack of diversity also must have missed the fact that TX State somehow attracts an absolutely massive number of Japanese and Korean foreign nationals every year. It doesn't get much more diverse that sitting down next to/rooming with someone from Tokyo and getting to pick their brain.

Night life is pretty solid - there aren't a huge amount of bars, but the major types are all represented. Drive to Austin if you absolutely need an 80's goth club or trance show or something that's a little less common. In general, I found parties and the people at them friendly, laid back, and always a great place to meet and mix.

I transferred in with enough credits to live off campus, so I can't speak to the dorm experience beyond what friends/girlfriends said about it.
