Texas State University - San Marcos was a perfect fit for me. Though I switched my major 3 times, I was welcomed in each department with open arms and constant encouragment. I was brought to the univeristy because of it's excellet communications program and ended up graduating with a Bachelor of Arts in Business. I wish I could have done both but was unable to float that type of schedule. The town of San Marcos is a great place to be, during the school year and in between semesters. I miss that place!

When I tell about Texas State I usually brag about where it is located first. Texas State is built on hills and it right by the river. We have a park where all the college kids come and swim in the river and play beach volleyball. Also it is located in San Marcos between San Antonio and Austin so you are not in a big city and the population is mostly college students. There is a wide varitey of people for example greek life to the Quidditch team!

Samantha

Personally, I am not a person who likes to brag. I believe that everyone is unique in there own way. I know that I have made great accomplishments in college though, such as making the dean's list both the fall and spring semester. I was involved in my school's hip-hop dance/step team, called Harambee, and part of the Baptist Student Ministry. Although I do all of this, I honestly do not brag. I see no reason in wanting to manipulate people to like me for what I have and not who I am.

Gabriella

I like to tell people how friendly everyone is on the campus, and how it is very easy to make friend. I believe the teachers at Texas State to be very helpful as long as you show that you are willing to learn and speak up they usually help the students in any way possible.
