My experience so far at Texas Southern has been great! The students are pretty friendly (when they're not on their phone) and the professors are great, and the administrators are very helpful and treat you like family. When I was first trying to get enrolled, there were bumps in the road. However, they pulled some strings together and got me through the door.
On the other hand, the school pride isn't the same that it once was back around 2012-16. Not everyone attends the games or campus functions, but will attend all the parties that aren't school affiliated.

I would like to see more food options at my school! We are a very diverse school and I appreciate that as a whole the school is very inclusive in everything. They don't discriminate and they're very inviting. The overall environment and atmosphere is friendly. Professors are super kind and willing to help all students who show interest. The Social atmosphere is great too. Almost all students are approachable and friendly. The courses aren't that difficult but they are not easy either. As long as you put in the effort you are most likely to get a A in the course.
My experience at TSU has been extravagant and it was made possible by the associates/faculty and staff that complete their tasks to ensure that students get the assistance they need. To continue such efforts, improvements in areas such as protection and security, much can be done. One solution could be to put officer offices in all department building for a more rapid response in case a hazardous situation were to occur. Another improvement I would like to see is more cameras in our parking garages on every floor. My reason for that is my personal incident, involving a hit-in- run on the 3rd floor. I was in class when the incident occurred so it seemed like finding the suspect will be no help. My bumper and grill of the car was dented and with no cameras around to see who hit me, only a compliant was filed and calls to my insurance provider was my option. Those are some of the improvements I would like to see for such an established institution!
