Texas State University Top Questions

I'd have to say NO. Yes, TX State students do drink and have fun, but I would not say we are huge party school. I would say that we are an amazing community of people that truly care about one another.

While I would agree that it's about 60{4a082faed443b016e84c6ea63012b481c58f64867aa2dc62fff66e22ad7dff6c} of the students who attend Texas State, it really is a diverse campus. You can find stereotypical Frat boys and Sorority girls, but you can also find intellectuals, alternatives, beatniks, activists, hippies, artists, etc. Since the university is in such a central location in Texas, there is a good mix of everyone, from gender identities and political stand points to race, religion, and sexual orientations.

To some degree, yes. As far as the drinking..but I think this mostly applies to students who just turn 21 and are away from home for the first time. A lot of freshmen tend to go crazy when it comes to rebellion from parents for the first time and do some stupid shit. Also..you're in COLLEGE people. Grow the fuck up. The supply of alcohol is NOT going to dry up overnight. Yes..you're only 21 once, but you have the rest of your life to drink. The goal is NOT to destroy your liver in one night. Also..as college educated people, I'm really surprised at some of the stupid shit I hear coming out of students mouths as I walk by or overhear things. This IS a predominantly white school, but fairly liberal though. Most people are open minded and liberal..but there still is a large degree of things I see and hear that makes me wonder just HOW much attention to pay in class to things like "white privilege", "diversity", "gay acceptance", the difference between sex and gender, the acceptance of transsexuals in today's society, ect. You may not think so, but the REAL world is going to slap you in the face one day if you think that your world that you've built around you is the only one out there. Learn to embrace diversity NOW or otherwise when you get into the working world, you're going to look like an uneducated, bigoted idiot.

Absolutly not. This was my first and only choice and I couldn't be happier. The level of difficutly is only what you put in or how much you take advantage of the system.

No and yes. I'm sure there are quite a few students who came here to party. I had a chance to go to UT, but I decided against it. I think Texas State has more to offer than it is portrayed, and compared to earlier years, students actually care more about their studies. The university is growing rapidly; our student population totals more than 28,000. It is working on gaining a better image by being more competitive and raising admission standards. Our athletic department is improving, and our football program is currently taking steps to move into a larger division.
