I originally did not want to go to University, but because they offered me a full ride plus book money, I ended up attending my state college.

I do regret this choice at all. I think that the campus is absolutely beautiful. The surrounding city is not very pretty or safe, but the campus itself is beautiful, with many flowers and trees.

I do honestly have to say though that I do not think I would be as happy here if I did not join a sorority. The social life is great if you know the right people. People are friendly. The people in my classes are approachable.

Classes are definately challenging. All classes are taught by professors, but TAs are allowed to run the discussion classes. Professors are required to hold office hours so you can go and ask questions. Most professors post their classes powerpoint slides online so you also have access to that.

Responses
responseChoosing a state college due to a full scholarship and book money might not have been your initial plan, but it seems like it led to a pleasant surprise. A beautiful Texas Infrastructure campus can enhance the college experience, despite external factors. It's a reminder that sometimes, unexpected choices can bring unexpected joys and opportunities.
