Being that I am indeed the Vice President for a sports club on campus, I can say that we get a pretty average amount of students interested for the first week or two of each new semester. In regards to intramural sports I do participate in a few and have won a couple of times! We had to fund our club on our own up until this coming semester, the school will help us out a little, but we still have to do majority of fundraising. School spirit for athletic events is pretty good among the student population, the stands for football games are usually filled 3/4s each game even though we hardly win any football games...the support is there regardless-win or lose. The athletic facilities are pretty good compared to other small universities. What I personally would like to see is a new bowling alley as well as inputing an olympic sized pool and perhaps even a varsity swim team for the university!
Review Texas A&M University - Kingsville
The University itself is great with all the different types of academics and student organizations available. I love my club that I am Vice President for within the university. Personally, if I could choose to do it all over again with my first college experience, I would choose a different university mostly because I am from this town and there is not much to do within it, so it gets to be quite boring. I would choose a university that is in a large city surrounded by smaller towns that are 20 minutes or less away, so that I could explore!
I loved everything about it! They choose student staff who live on campus, but they are so friendly! They always have little events to make sure we don't end up bored after a hard day of class! They always make sure its clean, and it's definitely a great option for the students. Parents won't have to worry about their safety, about their kids being fed, and living comfortably because this university will take care of them as if they are their own children!
