Junior: I came into Rice as a transfer student this past semester. I'm happy to say I've found a place where I feel completely welcomed and appreciated. This is where I was meant to be. I am academically challenged and my curiosity is constantly mirrored in my classmates/friends. The conversations are fun and the people are genuine. Don't think that you can't apply because of how competitive it looks. They really practice the holistic approach and if you bring your unique story, passion, and perspective you have a shot. I didn't have perfect test scores, but I had a great work ethic and passion for what I do. If you want a home away from home- highly recommend!... Read 1,099 reviews

Sophomore: I think a lot of the campus resources are great, and I love my classes so far. A lot of the student organizations that you can join have long waitlists, so it’s good to plan early on the type of extracurricular environment you’d like to be a part of. The buildings on campus range from stellar architectural masterpieces to modern works of art. There are very few things lacking, but part of the package deal of living in Austin is the construction. The whole city, including a lot of campus as of now, is hard to navigate with all of the work being done. It’s very important to do the absolute utmost asap, as the course load and competitive environment encourage daily task building. Doing work as soon as possible is practically the only way to be able to experience social events. If you’ve studies in a smaller environment, especially for intro classes, you’ll run into some kinks trying to adapt to the larger class sizes. What starts here changes the world!...

Sophomore: My experience at Texas A&M University in College Station has been nothing if not incredible. Everyone you meet is beyond nice and willing to lend you a hand. Professors (from my experience) want to see you succeed and benefit my education enormously. The environment that the school is in, College Station, TX, is a place like no other because the entire city is built around the university. If you live here, and didn't attend TAMU, you're an oddball - and I love that! Everyone here has a common unity in the best school in the nation for a variety of subjects, especially engineering and agriculture. Last but certainly not least, the traditions give this school life. From the outside looking in, you can't understand; from the inside looking out, you can't even begin to explain, it's truly something special. I cannot wait for the next few years to continue here, I wouldn't change it for the world!... Read 7,494 reviews

Senior: At first, I was challenged by the small environment at Trinity. However, soon I realized how this is incredibly beneficial for networking and creates many opportunities. Even throughout covid, my professors prioritized a quality education. In all honesty, I haven't had one bad professor at Trinity! The culture at Trinity values student well-being above all, which is refreshing. Additionally, the study abroad opportunities through Trinity have given me experiences I would have never gotten at another school! Overall, it is a wonderful school.... Read 728 reviews

Sophomore: Though SMU may have its faults at times, overall it has been an incredibly welcoming environment that consistently pushes me to be a better overall student, through its rigorous academic courses and ready-to-assist professors, along with the numerous resources it provides for students of all types. Being part of multicultural organizations has really helped me grow as a person because I get to see people who are just like me in different ways. In addition, being a part of the Rotunda Scholars program has given me immense opportunities through tutoring, study sessions, jobs, connections, and overall ability to perform well....

Senior: TCU is an incredible school! I transferred here from my community college and knew immediately it was the right choice. It's big enough that you don't feel that you know every single person walking campus, but you still see friends daily. The class sizes are average to small giving wonderful opportunity for creating friendships in class. Further, the small class sizes allow for a good relationship with professors who truly are here to see you succeed. It also works over time to bring in guest speakers and create wonderful connections for students through job fairs, guest speakers, and strong student to professor relationships. I would like to see more diversity at TCU as well as more engagement with the greater Fort Worth community.... Read 1,677 reviews

Freshman: I completed my first year at the University of Texas at Dallas and it was great. I commuted the fall of 2021 and when I did so, I didn’t really have a social life except for the partners I was set up with for labs. For the Spring of 2022, I lived on campus and I had a much better experience. I was able to enjoy the beauty of the campus and make more friends. The classes were challenging but the professors were very understanding. Some things I would change would be to have more social events and better advertising for those events. Even though I was on campus 24/7, I didn’t see enough advertising for events planned by different organizations and would only come to find out of the event as it was happening. Other than that, I find UTD great!... Read 2,470 reviews

I lived in the Honors Residential College on campus for my first 2 years and gained life long friends through that experience and also in my classes.

Senior: Texas Tech is home! I've grown up in Lubbock all of my life. The city has changed many times over the years, but Texas Tech has thankfully not! The student environment involving athletic events is electric. We're definitely one of the rowdiest groups in college sports. The professors are usually really helpful, and actually want you to succeed at what you do. I've made contacts outside the university and found what I was truly passionate about here. Only because my professors pushed me outside of my comfort zones. It's also an extremely veteran friendly school. Most professors want to assist veterans in transitioning from active duty to civilian life. I've met some of my best friends here as well!... Read 5,167 reviews

Alum: Attending the University of Dallas was one of the most important decisions I have made. Beneath the not terribly attractive exterior is a wonderful academic and social community that honors what a University should be. While the community is primarily Catholic and there is certainly a heavily Catholic culture surrounding the classical educational environment, I was impressed by the number of peers who were not Catholic but appreciated the education provided by the university, and the openness of the community to provide a meaningfully engaging community for differing viewpoints. Despite being a liberal arts school, many of my friends majored in Science fields with an interest in future STEM career. While not a research university, they enjoyed being able to receive a well rounded education and have gone on to pursue successful careers in STEM fields while owing a debt of gratitude to the education and formation they received from the institution and community at UD....

Freshman: Southwestern University is a lovely liberal arts college in the up-and-coming top schools in Texas. Because of the smaller campus size, the student's learning environment is personal and tailored between the professor and the student. The campus is beautiful and you really get to know the staff, alumni, and fellow students, making long-lasting and strong connections. The Athletic Department and many other extracurriculars are receiving more funding as they progress and grow their programs to better provide for the students. Overall I enjoy this school and the Georgetown area, as it is a great place to reside for more emerging opportunities.... Read 571 reviews

Classes are smaller and the ratio of students to professors is an amazing bonus. There are also unique degrees and classes offered that are specific to certain career fields.

Junior: The school is very diverse and has lots of great resources they provide for their students. It’s massive and they’re always constantly building something new. The only downfall would be the prices of the apartments on campus but living in a city as big as houston you’re able to comfortably live off campus and commute to school. The dining halls have great food, we also have a larger cafeteria and student centers all around campus. Depending on what program you are attending on the campus they all have their own special perks. I attend the Bauer College of Business and the classrooms are not old by any means, everything feels new, and the bathrooms are always clean. We have a large recreation center with lots of different machines to use if you’re into fitness. Also if you like to study outdoors rather than indoors, we have so many shaded areas around trees and even a small fountain nearby the Cullen building. Most students love to do their studying there!

Sophomore: I have really enjoyed UNT, and the people here are very kind and open, but there are some hiccups. The school is going through a growing period, with this influx of freshman being the largest yet. Which is great, but now their running out of classrooms, on-campus housing for upperclassmen, and every other resource. I am really happy I go to a school that values education for everyone, but I think they need to take a step back and recognize that the quality of life could be better if they raised the bar. But overall, it has been a great school to me, and there are so many outgoing and great people here!... Read 5,941 reviews

Freshman: My experience at St. Mary’s University orientation was memorable. I didn’t know how comfortable a place that is four hours from what I call home can make me feel safe and welcomed. It gets me excited and makes me less nervous for the next chapter in my life. The surroundings and environment of the university is so beautiful that it’s my new lock and home screen. Not to mention the amazing faculty and staff that the university has. I was nervous that I wouldn’t have much help with the college process but St. Mary’s University made it super easy and understandable for both my parents and I. My parents and I are super pleased with all information that St. Mary’s University has provided, so pleased that my parents don’t feel as worried of letting there only daughter leave four hours away from them.

Alum: I have only the best memories as a student at the University of Houston Clearlake (UHCL). I started at the UHCL with zest and enthusiasm for learning. My program counselors were so amazing in how they saw me as a student that was ready to take on a Master’s Program. They provided me with all of the guidance and support to be successful. I can’t say enough of my professors. I was just so fortunate to be at the right place with the best professors. I felt motivated, inspired, respected, and with so much support. I recall one stressful night when I separated from my husband. He left me without a vehicle alone with my four year old. I had no will to study for the next day’s test. I went to class and spoke to my professor. He listened attentively and then asked me to retake the test. I felt so grateful. Also amazing are the peer study groups. Classmates are great! And last but not least are the sights of the forests through the classroom windows. They are breathtaking!... Read 711 reviews

Jaguar Journey is held in Victoria the weekend before classes begin for the fall semester, and teaches new students what it means to be a Jaguar! This annual tradition was voted as the best overall experience at UHV. Throughout each academic school year, JAB takes students out of town on a variety of different road trips. These road trips have become a central part of student involvement on campus. Past road trips have included going to Fiesta Texas, UH Football games, and Schlitterbahn.

The price of DBU is deceiving because there are so many scholarships to help bring the cost down dramatically. My favorite thing about DBU is the community and relationships I have made here. I have made my lifelong best friends here. All students live on campus and there are close to no parties on campus. DBU is only twenty minutes from downtown Dallas providing fun off-campus activities as well as job opportunities. I highly recommend DBU to everyone!... Read 1,054 reviews
