Texas state is a beautiful campus in a wonderful location. It has great sports teams esp. volleyball & baseball & beautiful football stadium. There are constant improvements being done especially for housing. With the San Marcos river, Aquarena Springs, Outlet malls, & the Hill counrty nearby, there were plenty of things to do on the weekends besides partying. I always felt everyone there shared an appreciation for nature. I highly reccomend Texas State.

I enrolled while working a full-time job with my only goal to acquire a BSEET technology degree through credit transfers and night/weekend classes. I earned half of my credits through transfer and then took between one and three classes each semester for two years to achieve my goal. All instructors were excellent and the commute and access to downtown parking easy. The degree removed a major hurdle to my career advancement and my income doubled within five years. A friend with the same goal and I commuted a hundred miles one way from below Wheeling WV which made the whole experience a lot easier. I recently retired as a Director of Engineering - Control Systems after 31 years working for a major engineering firm. I had no interest and therefore no opinion on the Housing, Student Life or Party and Bar Scene but safety, atmosphere, professors and academics were excellent.

I graduated from Jewell in 1959. The emphasis was on "faith" and NOT on education. I would not recommend Jewell as an educational institution.

Good school, not a party school by any means. Beautiful campus, most teachers are great and small class sizes make it easy to talk to professors

Iowa State offers a tremendous environment for student success and a wide array of various student experiences! I enjoyed my years at Iowa State and believe it is one of the best universities in the midwest!
