Texas State University Top Questions

So far I have enjoyed my experience at Texas State. If I had to come up with a negative comment...I would say the dorms are not equiped well enough with heating and A/C. To cold in the winter. Other then that, it has been a wonderful experience, so far.

The most frustrating thing about my school, is the stairs! There are just too many around campus. They may be a good workout, but there are days when you're feeling ill and dont have the strength to climb up and amount of stairs or any size hills. I don't think there is any way to improve this situation but if there was, it would be nice.

Transfer credit. I have a long transcript from many schools, and they've proved reticient about trying to bend to give me a chance to find equivalencies. From the perspective of a non-traditional student, this university spend a lot of time concentrating on teaching students how to get jobs. From a state school perspective, I certainly like this school. I've been to worse.

The most frustrating thing would be that somehow everything seems to be uphill. I dont know how it happens but it always seems that my next class is just up the hill.

It is very frustrating that the admission standards are not higher. It seems that anyone is accepted and we are very over crowded. Since my freshman year our student population has grown tremendously so classes are much larger and the students being accepted do not seem to be serious about their studies.

I would have to say the most frustrating thing about Texas State University is the little amount of time there is to get from class to class. The campus is sprawling and we are not given enough time to get from one end to the other.

I would have to say if there is a down side to Texas State Univeristy in San Marcos it would have to be the bad rap that it gets. I hear so many people talk about how San Marcos is good for nothing but a drug point between Austin and San Antonio. This is an amazing school, with great teachers and some of the friendliest students you can meet. Though there is partying and drinking here, you can find that at just about every college and university in the country.

The most frustrating thing about the school I suppose would be the fact that I am having to retake a few of the classes I transferred with because my old school did not have a lab component and this one requires it. So far I have had to retake two of them.

The most frustrating thing about Texas State University is the parking situation. The spaces are very limited. The parking garages are difficult to manuever through in any vehicle larger than a small car.

I would say that the most frustrating thing about Texas State University is how many students attempt to make an economical difference on campus but many others find it hard to help out. For example, in many of the dining halls on campus there are cans set up for paper, plastic, and left over food; this is along with a regular trash can. I wonder how people can throw away half a meal rather than scraping it off into the left over food bin. I just wish everyone would do their share.

That its becoming more focused on sports then academics

The most frustrating thing about my school are the hills that you have to hike to get from class to class. Luckily, there is a bus that loops around the campus that you can take but sometimes this just isn't an option. In the middle of summer Texas heat, you can get pretty sweaty trying to get from building to building. On a positive note- they give you great legs.

The bus system gets frustrating at times.

One of my professors has issues with a lot of students.

Morning classes

The hills! During the hot August weather, it's very tiring to walk across campus. Some of the community style dorms need help too, but I think they're working on it. The most frustrating thing on campus is parking. Because our school is growing so quickly we are running out of room and space for parking.

The most frustrating thing I found while I was at Texas State really had nothing to do with the school at all. You are exposed to so much that at least for me it was really hard to pick just one major, I think I changed my major at least 5 times my first year.

Like all campuses the parking is cramped. I hear that Texas State is growing larger every year, and on campus dorms are getting a little crouded. I come from a little Bible loving, Conservative town, and San Marcos is consumed by Liberals. At some points I feel out of place.

The most frustrating thing at my school right now is the construction, but when it is finished, it will have been worth it.

The food usually being cold in the cafeteria/buffet dining halls. People not having common courtesy.
