Texas State is known for the accepting nice students that attend. I have been welcomed to a warm community where diveristy is welcomed. Another thing the school is known for is the surrounding area.

Texas State is known for different things but the one thing I love them most it is its communication studies program. I went into college unsure of what I wanted to do but Texas State sold me on its communication studies degree because its one of the best in the world. Texas State gets different visitors t want to see how its 1310 intro to communications cores is run because it’s been so successful in the past. Oxford University from England even took an interest in it and explored why it has been so successful.

Formerly, Texas State was known as a party school (back when it was Southwest Texas State). Now, it's becoming more renowned for activities centered around the clean, accessible San Marcos River as well as a burgeoning center for research.

Texas State has not casted off the party hard representation that people know it to be. Regardless of the constant renaming of the university, Texas State is viewed in a negative manner by those who strive for academic knowledge. I know of this unversity in a different manner. While I cannot deny that there are people who like to party here, I believe your education is what you make of it. To myself, Texas State is best known for its fiery will to strive for improvemnt, and that makes it a college worth attending.

Ashley

My school is proably best known for it's alumni President Lyndon B. Johnson and George Strait. It started out as a small teaching school, but ever since has grown into a the fifth largest school in Texas. It's well liked because of it's proximity to Austin and San Antonio, both are popular fun cities in Texas. Texas State is also well known for it's diversity and large hispanic population.

Professors that care about their students.

Bethany

Texas State University is located on the banks of the San Marcos River which provides students with recreational and leisure activities, such as swimming and tubing, throughout the year. The river runs through the majority of campus and is one of the most beautiful universities in the State of Texas. The faculty at the McCoy College of Business go above and beyond their administrative duties inside as well as outside of class if additionlal help is needed. Any college can be a party school; however, there are many dedicated and intelligent students at Texas State University that do not drink.

Kelsey

When people mention Texas State the first thing that comes to mind is business. Texas State has a huge business program and are proud of it. They treat business majors like royalty but don't let that fool you because the courses are quite difficult.

Casey

I think Texas State is looked at as a party school, but is best known for its diversity. Honestly you can find partying at any school so I wouldn't make that the reason for coming here.

Unfortunately for a great deal of its history TXST has been known as the most wild party school in Texas, and that fame still lingers here. However, the school has and still is progressing far beyond that reputation and will most definitely soon become recognized as one of the top academic schools in Texas. Many of our programs have nation-wide acclaim. Our Geography department is considered the best in the nation. Our Communication Design program is among the top 29 Graphic Design programs in the nation and our Teaching program is among the top three in the nation.
