    Did learn a lot

    I learned a lot and would recommend this college to anyone who learns better in smaller classes or who has been out of school for a while and wishes to return.
    Did enjoy being here

    I enjoyed my time at Southern Union. It was conveniently located to my home so it only took minutes to get to class. The instructors were excellent. The atmosphere of the school was pleasant and a little more relaxed than a major university.
    Bang for the buck

    The best bang for my buck.
    Tips for prospective students

    If you are a returning student who has been out of school for a while or if you are right out of high school but didn't get accepted in a major university, this is the place to start. I am glad I went here first.
    Great for these types of students

    Adult returning students
    Students who want a bang for their buck

    Tips for prospective students

    The faculty and staff are very well-rounded and helpful people. If you ever have any questions, contact someone at Southern Union, and they will be happy to help. The website suscc.edu is very easy to manage.
    Great for these types of students

    This school is great for people who are very social and want to be in laid back environment. Southern Union is a small school in a small town. It is hard not to know the people in class with you. The student body at Southern Union is more like a family as in a high school.

    Academic Rigor

    Giving southern union 4 stars is a little generous. I found it easy to exceed in my classes but I also over heard from other students that there academics could be rather challenging.

    The dorms have the necessity of college life, like a desk, bed , closet , sink ,3 dresser to large in size and one small one. The floor are pretty scratched up and the showers have a little mold but nevertheless its doable .
    Food and Dining

    There isn't a wide variety to choose from , you get what they server or nothing at all. They offer deserts , the food is good when they are hosting or recruiting people to come to the school.

    Most of the professors at Southern Union are good teachers. I have enjoyed many of my classes, although I have had to work to make high grades. It's a good way to get most of the core classes behind you without spending a lot of money before transferring to a four-year university.

    If you do not plan to study, don't enroll. If you are willing to work, you can be successful here.
    Dorm Life

    I am commuting from home.
    Food and Dining

    There is a place on campus to get fast food. It's edible, but not great.
    What to do for fun

    I really just attend classes. There's plenty to do in nearby Auburn--sporting events, movie theatre, bowling, etc.
    Greek Life

    None
