    The safety on campus is phenonmenal. After 6 pm there are guys who drive around golf carts on campus to take you where you need to go once it gets dark. You just have to call them and tell them where you are and they will take you to where you want to go. They are called Bobcat Bobbies.

    You get a lot of big school features with a smaller school price. You also get the small school feel with the big school recognition.

    While I haven't graduated from Texas State, for the price the school is fairly good compared to say University of Texas Austin. In all honesty though, your experience after college depends on what you did in college with internships and participating, and Texas State has internship fairs twice a year and invited a variety of employers for certain majors.

    Texas State's degree is as good as any others in the state unless you are talking about Math, Science, and Engineering. At only 7,000 each semester that makes it a very cheap, and profitable investment.

    Tuition prices are going up each year across the board. But, I don't think TSU is unreasonable. The campus is growing all the time, however, so I didn't like paying extra for the new stadium, etc.
