With the recent name change, Texas State(formerly Southwest Texas State) is still a growing school.

Located in the middle of hill country, Texas, the campus features a very unique landscape of buildings and greenery layered on top of one another, cascading down to a river that flows right through campus.

Texas State University is big on promoting diversity. Its one of the very first things we learn on campus when we first arrive. I love how almost every club and organization have their own way of promoting diversity and making sure the club itself is diverse. I don't know of many universities that are as diverse as Texas State. Because of this, I am even more proud to say annouce to people that I am a Texas State Bobcat!

Texas State has fairly good school spirit, but we are not TOO prideful like some popular Texas univeristies, such as UT and TAMU. We have a diverse student population without leaning into one sector too much.

Students are always walking around, hanging out, or studying together. Texas State has such a fun atmosphere and is very unique for many different reasons.

The one thing that is very unigue about my school is the landscape . At Texas State University everything is either up or down hill, there is no avoiding stairs or hills. If you attend this university you get your education along with a work out everyday.

There's nothing all that unique about the school I've chosen. It has it's own traditions, a beautiful campus and lots of campus life and student organizatins, as did the other schools I considered.

The school I'm currently attending is $1000/ semester less than the other schools I researched.

Texas State University stands apart from other schools mostly in its promotion of diversity, its consideration for the environment, its academic focus and its overall atmosphere which combines small town characteristics along with a large student body and proximity to big cities like Austin and San Antonio.

Texas State is close to where I live. It is not too big and not too small, it is a great size. It seems like you can find a friend in each class that you attend. Some of the teachers let you do more to get your grade up and they are understanding to any situation you are in. This is a great university to go to if your looking for a not too big school and want to be close to your hometown. They are have great classes, where you can learn more about your major. Great School!

The location of the school was a huge factor in my decision to attend. San Marcos is a small town in the beautiful Texas hill country that is only an hour from the nightlife of San Antonio and daytime activties of Austin. With both of the cities close by you, as a student, get the experience of a small home town with a big city scene.

So many things separate Texas State from other schools. One is the location Texas State is located in heart of Texas on the San Marcos River, which adds to the beauty of the school. Next is how divers the student population is, you never know what kind of interesting people you will run into on campus.

I choose whether I want small or large classes. This allows me to focos on what I consider to be important.

I liked the location and laid-back atmosphere of Texas State. It's located in central Texas between the two big cities of Austin and San Antonio. It's not isolated like A&M's College Station or Texas Tech. Nor is it packed like UT in Austin. I felt the nice home town atmosphere of Texas State in San Marcos was a perfect getaway and if I needed more adventure there'd always be Austin and San Antonio just a short drive away.

I didnt really consider any other schools. I always thought this campus was just perfect for me not big, not small. In a little town but close to the big cities.

Easy access to advisors, campus terrain.

It has the "big school" atmosphere with small college town feel. San Marcos is in the perfect location because its also right in between Austin and San Antonio, if anyone wants the city life, without actually having to live there.

The location of our school is perfect between San Antonio and Austin. It has a great and famous outlet mall.
