How would you describe the atmosphere at Texas State?

At Texas State we foster a welcoming and lively atmosphere where students thrive through interaction. On campus our students are always willing to help, be it through showing you where a building is or to let you know of some excellent dining options on or off campus. Events are also plentiful! We host movie nights, board game events, and if you’re itching to catch a Bobcat Home Game you can be there for no extra fee! Join us at the game and see what how electric the atmosphere at Texas State can get!

What are three things you love about Texas State?

I love that the professors are always willing to help; if they are ever unavailable, you can ask the Teacher’s Assistant or Supplemental Instructor. I also love the fact that, even though we have a student population of roughly 38,000, we still have a 23:1 student to faculty ratio, allowing for excellent networking opportunities with professors. But my absolute favorite thing about Texas State is the sense of belonging. No matter what your background, you will always have people here who share similar experiences with you. Your home away from home is here at Texas State.

What is your favorite tradition at Texas State?

One of my favorite traditions at Texas State is Bobcat Build. Bobcat Build is an event that is held every year where hundreds of students meet at the football stadium parking lot with rakes, paint and other home improvement necessities. Following the morning meeting, students are separated and sent to various locations throughout the San Marcos area. By the end of the day the students will have helped several local families and community efforts, giving back to the town Texas State calls home.
