Betty Ann - 12/01/2024

Schreiner was a good university and the class size was nice. There were a few terrible professors but most of them were amazing. I enjoyed my time there and used the student resource center quite often. I was able to get tutoring for math and it helped me a lot. There were always events on campus.

Lily - 11/24/2024

I think schriener is pretty school and I think everyone that goes their to see it or is enrolled to it loves it and thinks it,s good school to be at .and once they leave they just want to go back and be their again because it,s a wonderful college to be at and want to be at .

Cailin - 05/21/2024

As far as a school goes, Schreiner has its ups and downs. You will get out of it what you put into it. There are opportunities for a variety of clubs and new ones are actively encouraged to form. The Student Activities Board is active on campus hosting 1-2 events every week. As far as academics, you will not find anywhere else where the professors are not only invested in the subject that they are teaching, but they are deeply invested in you as a person. Many professors also hold roles in the community, which makes them even more approachable. The diner could use a little improvement but it is still decent food and variety for what you are paying.

Jacob - 12/11/2023

Two main reasons I chose to attend Schreiner University were the campus size and finance issues. For starters, being in a small retirement town like Kerrville, Texas, the class size isn't at all overwhelming, only being around 2,250 students. This made my experience a lot easier to digest, as it left a lot more time for personal studying and made it easier to communicate with professors and students. Already living in Kerrville, being a commuter also helped with the cost, of not having to pay for housing and other on-campus fees.

Keep a positive outlook on everything you do whether it's making a quick desicion such as, "Do I really have enough money to spend on coffee right now?" or even bigger desicions such as, "What should I major in?" and " What do I want to do with my life?" Take life a day at a time and don't stress yourself out. Everything will come together in the end, but in the meantime continue to work hard and do what you love.

  5. What's unique about your campus?

    I believe that the best thing at Schreiner Univeristy that I have personally experinced is the social connections that are made across our small campus. Every student feels like they have a place amongst the others because we are all viewed at as individuals, not as specific ID numbers walking around. The connections between the students are powerful bonds of friendship, fun, and teamwork. The connections between the teachers and students are the best that any college can offer. If a student has trouble in a subject, a teacher will do anything in their power for that student to succeed.

    Schreiner U is a growing school with enrollment closer to 1,300 and a new MBA program. The school offers great student resources ranging from academic tutoring to off campus recreational equipment such as kayaks (for use on the local Guadalupe River), etc... An online option beyond a Master's in education would be nice. A lower tuition would be nice too.
