Tarleton State University Top Questions

My favorite thing about my school is the fact that it is a smaller university. It's easier to get on a more personal level with the professors and students. Also, each building is in walking distance, so I don't have to worry about driving or riding a bicycle to my classes.

Tarleton State has many traits that make it a great campus but one thing stands out the most; the one on one feeling when you step into your class. At Tarleton I don't feel like a number or just a pass or fail, I feel like I belong to this system because of all of the helpful and understanding staff.

I consider the Faculty the best thing about my school because they are the ones that are teaching us the curriculum and we are learning from them. Not anyone can be a "good" teacher, any school can graduate people but it takes real talent to have a school that is known by reputation for the type of people they are contributing to society. I believe that having great teachers is what makes the student become successful in the career they choose.

The best thing for me is the size. I got into some larger Universitys but they were too big for me. Here at Tarleton I have the luxury of going to smaller classes and being able to get to know my teacher one on one where they actually remember my name and are able to advise me.

The best thing about Tarleton is class size. Most classes average about 20 -25 students. This allows for professors to establish a helping relationship with students. Another good thing about Tarleton is that the college offers online classes in addition to face to face instruction which has allowed me to work and attend school. Tarleton is affiliated with the University Center on the McLennan Community College campus in Waco, Texas. I reside in Waco therefore I do not have to travel far from home. I am an older person returning to college however I feel very comfortable being at Tarleton.

My school is large enough to attract alot of diverse students and good professors and small enough to not seem overwhelming to new students. It is small enough to get lots of interraction with the professors and small classroom sizes. I believe tarleton is the perfect size. Not so many students you seem lost and large enough to constantly meet and make new friends with each new class.

There something here for everybody. What you enjoy doing may not be the biggest thing on campus, but there's somebody here that's already thought of it or is working on putting it into action, and that's what's really cool about Tarleton State is that anybody can find their place here on campus!

I consider the traditions the best thing. Tarleton has the oldest spirt organization in Texas the "Purple Poo" they help all members of the University feel like they are part of a family. Everyone can find an organization or group to be a part of. Sporting events are really important here the students dress up and support their classmates.

The best thing about Tarleton State University is the friendliness, helpfullness and diversity between the students and proffesors. Having these traits makes asking questions, learning, and making life long memories and friends much more enjoyable.
