Senior: I've had an amazing experience at UT. Pursuing a career in journalism, it's an honor to be studying at one of the best journalism programs in the world! I've learned so much from such amazing and accomplished journalists, and I've been able to grow my knowledge and journalistic writing and center in on exactly what path I want to go down in journalism. Along with that, I've been able to pursue other academic interests of mine through pursuing an additional degree in sociology and a certificate in human rights and social justice. I've been able to broaden my knowledge on the issues that plague marginalized communities around the world and through this I've been able to strengthen my reporting and story telling as a journalist. I've also completed four internships throughout my time at the university, and will be studying abroad in the fall! I've grown and gained so much during my time here, and I can't wait to see how much I'll learn and grow during my last year.... Read 6,677 reviews

Junior: I am actually attending Concordia University right now. I have so far liked it, I feel it is a good fit because I am from the city and with this campus being in the middle Austin, I feel more at home. This is not a school that just “wants to take your money”, it is a school that actually wants to see you succeed and get you to the next point in your life! Everything that is offered on campus is so helpful in so many ways such as free tutoring, work study, many other resources for your major and so much more! I was a bit scared coming from a juco to a university because it is a really big step. However, attending Concordia it is not overwhelming, and as challenging, because like I said they are so helpful with making sure you are where you need to and making sure you also get to that point. Also being an athlete it can be time consuming and stressful but the professors are so understandable and flexible and do everything they can to keep you updated and on the same page!...

Junior: Texas State University is a wonderful school with a beautiful campus and countless resources dedicated to help students of all sorts to succeed. With every decision I made for my education, I felt confident that it was the best one thanks to the staff and faculty who so eagerly assisted me in advising and analyzing each choice and opportunity. As for the community as a whole, it was diverse and colorful in every sense, and contained a spot for everyone, including me. I feel grateful every day that I chose to attend Texas State, that I met those I know now, and that I will be going back soon!... Read 6,503 reviews

Junior: South has definitely grown on me. At first it felt a bit uncoordinated but no school is perfect. The faculty genuinely cares about your success. The librarian, Leanne, is amazing. She tries her best to make sure all your questions are answered. My favorite part is every week the halls are decorated with different themes and snacks for the students.... Read 24 reviews

Alum: I owe it all to this school- the best school I will ever attend! I got into my dream school through ACC, and you get access to an immense amount of resources with such low tuition. The professors always cared a lot about what they taught, the campuses were always clean, and the offices/services are so much more efficient compared to my current 4-year university. I would recommend ACC to anyone, whether you want to achieve your Associate's, transfer, or simply take classes for funsies.... Read 2,459 reviews
