Master's in Geographic Information Science - Batch of 2026

3.6

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.

BS in Microbiology - Batch of 2026

3.8

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.

BS in Mechanical Engineering - Batch of 2026

3.6

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.

Traditional university life experience.

Tips: Lots of diversity and a very social campus as well which means you'll be exposed to a lot of people and communities. Campus often has a lot going on and in terms of part time jobs, there is limited scope and availability although I did I get a research position through a professor. There is a lot of walking around campus and class registration and organizing can be done in a better format.

Good experience with lots of learnings.

Tips: Texas is a very widespread campus with diverse students and faculty and you'll not take too long to adjust. People are easy going and classes are experiential with multi faceted conversations forming a central theme. In terms of post graduation work opportunities, things are becoming increasingly restrictive, but if you form good connections with your professors, you can avail benefits in the form of LORs and projects and even use them as references.
