I have some of my best memories from SHSU and also some of my worst. When I came to Sam, the theatre department was rated #4 in the nation. It was an extremely exciting environment and a very challenging one. The year before I came to Sam, the head of the theatre department retired and another person took his place. That person has really brought the department down.

When it comes to the campus its self, it is very beautiful. The spring time is one of my favorite times because of all the blooms. It's also pretty clean on campus. The classes are reasonably sized. The largest class I was in was around 150 students, but the professor had a way of making each student feel like they were noticed.

There have been several classes that the teachers speak English as their secondary language. During those classes, I have pretty much had to teach myself since I cannot understand the teachers.

When it comes to clubs and organizions, everyone can find things to do. There is a group for everyone. Unfortunantly, this is a suitcase college. So weekends are pretty dead.

I would recommend this college for certain departments, but not for all of them.
