Peaceful campus and friendly people.

Tips: The campus is quite vast and teaching style is good as well with a blend of theoretical work and a decent amount of practical application. The weather is pretty much the same all year with hot summers so hydrate throughout. Texas can come off as a bit intimidating but it has a positive friendly vibe especially for students. San Marcos is quite affordable as well when it comes to the cost of living.

Eye opening experience here.

Tips: I would say I have transitioned in a positive manner after coming here as the campus has been friendly, accommodating and helpful especially towards international students. I have seen that administrative work can take longer than anticipated and course registration is an absolute pain. Career fairs are a good way to network but realistically, as an undergrad international student, my job prospects in this country are close to None.

Grateful for the experiences.

Tips: Texas State University is a very vibrant and happening campus. There's lots to explore, lots to grow and most importantly, plenty to learn both within and outside the classrooms. In some courses, the competitiveness is high and in some, you'll be fine with a laid-back approach as well. Learn to network and take help of the career services as much as possible. People are friendly and helpful.

Good time and place.

Tips: There was a slight culture shift when I got here but there are plenty of people and international students to find support and companionship from. Build a rapport with your professors and RA once you move in and start classes. The classes are not extremely over competitive and people but you are expected to be proactive and take advantage of the career services in place. Also, don't skip on extra credit.

Supportive and healthy environment.

Tips: My experience here has been quite decent and promising I would say although the process has not been easy. Administration here trends to take a very long time even for the simplest of tasks which can become frustrating especially if you're expecting timely update on internships and other such programs. The faculty is quite supportive and willing to help you out whenever needed which has been reassuring for me. There's a lot to explore here as well so make the most of that.
