Major: (This Major's Salary over time)
I transfered to Texas State from Austin College (a small private school in Sherman,Tx) in the Fall of '08. My first semester was a real slap in the face for me. I was used to a small campus with very short walking distances around campus and small class sizes. At State i had AT LEAST a 15 minute walk everywhere, and my smallest class to date since ive been there was about 75-100 whether everyone was there or not. I also found the classes to be very challenging. First Semester there i took all core classes (basics) just to get a few out of the way. I honestly wish i took those at a junior college somewhere because they kicked my ass. but second semester I began taking classes more toward my major and minor and im having a blast and i havent missed a single class yet. It's really about what you're interested in and who/how it's being taught to you that will fuel you're success at this school academically. Socially, if you played sports in high school I highly recommend joining a sports club. It's a great way to meet new people,stay in shape, and have an awesome time. For example, I joined the Rugby team here. The guys on that team are like brothers to me, we are very successful, and we know how to party. They are also very efficient about having us keep our grades up and understand when we cant make games or practices because of tests/projects. That's just one example of the MANY things you can do at State, but if you're not much of a team player, we just redid our Recreation Center on West Campus and it's amazing. Plenty of lifting stations, an indoor pool and track, and plenty of basketball and raquetball courts to fit your needs. I've always wanted to go to this school since i was a little kid when I found out how awesome it is, and now I'm living it and I don't ever want to leave. Best decision I've ever made.
