Students & Professors are super nice! This school has a strong agricultural ranching program. Many students are future ranchers, horse breeders, rodeo ranchers. The location is extremely isolated with a two hour no cell coverage drive to the nearest Walmart. The local area is a Texas tourist destination as Sul Ross is next to Big Bend National (Desert) park, the Marfa Space Alien Lights, Marfa Fine Arts District, the famous Terlingua Chili Cookoff, McDonald Observatory and miles of Texas Desert. The town caters to students that make up 1/2 the population. This is a lovely place to live if you don't shop much & like sunset old west vistas. Restaurant are barely edible stick with the Sul Ross Cafeteria or cook. If you have a good air conditioned car there are a lot of fun Desert Tourist locations to visit.
My Sul Ross experience has been awesome! I am a junior now, so ive been here for 3 years. My freshman year I had a hard time honestly. Then I got myself involved in being a SRSU Cheerleader. Involving yourself in things like this is really important. Sul Ross is very good at helping you find those involving things that everyone needs. The campus its self has grown so much from my time being here, they've added a Rec field, new landscaping that makes the campus beautiful. The professors are amazing and I love how helpful they all are. You can go to their office and get help. They know you by your name rather number at a bigger school. You make so many great friends it being so small. One thing I love the most is of supportive all of our athletic teams are of each other. The only thing I would change is the food. Sul Ross is definitely my second home!
The honest truth is Sul Ross State University is their retention rate only 28% of the students who attend graduate. Furthermore, in most of the graduate study programs, most of the professors have only master degrees except for the department chair and one associate professor. In comparison to other programs in TX such as Texas Tech, UTEP, etc. courses in the graduate studies are taught by professors with doctorate degrees. Future students beware before investing your time and money. Future employers know the statistics on most universities this makes a difference on whether or not you get a job.
