Texas State University Top Questions

Yes sometimes they are actually.

I think it depends on the people you surround yourself with. As a Music major, I spend all of my time at the Music Building and it's almost like a second home. It's nice how everyone in the building knows everybody. As far as the stereotypes go, I would have to say that it is inaccurate. We really are always kept busy doing something involving music. There might be a party every now and then, but to say that we're a big party school...I'm don't think the music building atmosphere fits into that stereotype.

For the most part these stereotypes arent accurate. Many TX State students are top-notch scholars who truly care about the quality of their educationa and are willing to work hard for their degree.

Not any longer. I began at Texas State in 2003 and have seen huge changes in the character of students just since then. Great changes have been made toward making our academic programs more competitive, which will make all of our diplomas worth more money after we get out of here.

Yes!

No see above response. Don't get me wrong we play hard but we work hard too!

Neither of these are true. I was accepted to the University of Texas but found their political science program to be less than satisfactory for my needs. We are the most politically active school in the state of Texas. I have worked on countless campaigns since attending this University and it has opened several doors for me when I graduate. I party very little and am way too busy to sit around and get wasted. College students party wherever you go to school but I wouldn't say we do it more than any other University.

NO, that actualy this school is one of the hardests schools to get into in the state of texas and that just because we can sit next to the river doesnt make us a party school, people are just jelouse that we have a river and that we are smart and can party at the same time!

As with all stereotypes, there are some that fit the generalizations made;however, they are just that - generalizations. There are many students at Texas State and many orgainzations that do not fit those stereotypes.

We do like to party, but we aren't like a waste of life like I've heard use described as. We do party harder and better, but we can still handle our school work, jobs and lives. It is actually easier to get a job if you are a Bobcat because you aren't cocky and think you deserve to be CEO straight out of college. We know that everyone has to start somewhere and work their way up. We are willing to work.
