Texas State - San Marcos gave me my chance for a better life. I started back in the '80s when the admissions standards were first being seriously tightened (though not as high as today) and found myself busting a$$ to make good grades. In my whole five undergraduate years I might have gone to no more than a handful of parties and one of them was for my graduation. I guess the party reputation perspective depends on your academic major. The biggest asset I had in succeeding was the quality of the professors and the time they devoted to their students. I also got involved in undergraduate research for a couple of professors. That experience was challenging and a great way to learn science. I also found the positive attitudes and helpfulness of my fellow students encouraging. In the years since, I've been grateful for the quality of education and the fact that TxSt prepared me well for graduate school (I have an MS in Physics from another university and I am currently seeking an MS in Engineering from yet another). The TxSt campus is beautiful though large, and its small town Location is centered between two very large cities (about half an hour from Austin and San Antonio). You can get the best of both a small town and a big city experiences there. Though San Marcos itself is small, it has one of the largest open air outlet malls in the country (hundreds of stores). In comparison to the experiences I had in my other two big universities, the time I spent at Texas State was the best time of my life. I recommend this university to any academically serious high school student.
