Now I know they're a big deal, what with the Rangerette museum on this junior college campus. That said, I don't think I would have enjoyed such a small school in such a small town. I was fully expecting an elderly woman behind a counter to tell me she thought she knew me.

Also, the school has one-of-a-kind certifications and so much more! Great programs and great organizations! There's theatre, the Rangerettes, the Flare news, the Ranger band, football, basketball, softball, the music program, the KC Twirlers... There is an organization for everyone! Come and participate or come and watch because there is fun for people in all walks. I HIGHLY suggest it!

The people are very…read morefriendly, and students come from other college towns for the programs here; even if the other school is known for that particular program. I believe this speaks volumes. My son has been so busy with their free freshman events that he cannot even talk to us about important stuff... yes more important than Casino Night! LOL I had experience in the UT system on a personal basis (UTD), but alumni of one of their schools or not, this tops everything we had. UTD was a JR/SR University in my day, and so we were expected to have all this fun-thirst out of our systems. We still did not have half the fun or events he's having.

My daughter got a "D" on a online class and they could not explain how she arrived at that grade, she was locked out of the class at the end of the semeter and could not access the class to review what happened. Super frustating! My daughter will not return to this school, think twice before you a apply to this school! I wish I would have read the reviews before she applied to this hot mess there!

My experience at Vista has been wonderful! Before attending, I tried university and online school,…read moreboth of which did not work for me. Vista made it easy for me to go to school while still working 40 hours/week. The teachers, staff, and students were all friendly, supportive, and motivating. I am in the dental assisting program. I enjoy that we spend half of class in lecture, working on homework and other activities and the other half of class in the hands in lab. Highly recommend the DA program at Vista to anyone that wants to go to school while still having to work.

Visited SFA for a campus tour, my dad mentioned that I would like the beautiful campus. I truly…read morewasn't amazed after visiting other Texas universities. It was more of a ordinary school that lacks history, traditions and school spirit. My tour guide, Cherish was the bomb.com though. She was funny, cool, and laid-back. Despite, all the old buildings and only the presidents building looking new--she made the tour exciting. I can't say much about the kinesiology department as we didn't cover that part. They do have forestry, but not horticulture which I'm looking to minor in with my major of kinesiology. The library looked pretty out-dated and basic which didn't appeal to me since I know I'll be spending a lot of time there. The dorms aren't the nicest either. It's horrible how they don't have a roommate survey in order to choose your roomie, you have to go based off of first day orientation which caters mostly to freshmen students and not transfer students. Like I said before, they lack traditions. The only two things that stand for SFA is the lumberjack stick that you have to buy and design on your own, the Stephen F. Austin water fountain changes to the school's color during finals week and the hand sign motioned to look like a gun or so. Wow! Big deal.. However, one cool thing is that SFA isn't affiliated with any other universities in Texas, it is its own school. Not a sister to no other school. That's neat. Though, it is located in the country and its better that way because you won't have to deal with loud unnecessary noises when you trying to study. The rec center/gym area is extremely small, but on the outdoors there is a lazy river that connects around. The campus isn't too big to get lost, but at the same time it's small enough to get packed quick. Scholarship opportunities seem to cater to the freshmen, so I can't say this school is transfer friendly. Additionally, everyone (staff) were extremely nice and showed their southern hospitality!

My experience has been that of going to summer camp. The campus on the outside is nice and well…read morekept. It is especially beautiful during the fall. However, go into the dorms that don't cost double the housing cost, you will feel like you got transported to a run down camp with a room that is the size of two closets. The reason that I find it an issue because it seems that the school does not know how to use their money correctly. Instead of focusing on buildings that are molding and old, they build new ones that increase the price. As for academics, it depends on your major. The university focuses a lot on the nursing program and the religion majors. But if you are a biology major, say good bye to any funding or such. The professors in that department are over worked because of staffing and their true skills are not given enough room to shine. If they were given, the school could produce ground breaking research and brilliant doctors. Overall, do not fall for the tour. Ask to see everything.

I don't have a lot of info on the financial side, but the people here, especially the professors and some students are absolutely amazing, riveting, and just wonderful people ever! I've had many fun and memorable experiences here. To be honest, it's a 50/50 if you're gonna like it or hate it and depending on where. But my experience wasn't so bad.
