    I received the BEST campus tour from here and that's aside from SFA. I'm starting to see why my…read morebrother chose this university over all the others. As soon as we walked into the Welcome Center, we were greeted with a big warm smile and I could feel the tradition and history that was put into this campus. In fact, one of the girls from the desk was a San Jac alumni which was super cool. Kristin was her name and she was a Communications major. If you don't know Tarleton is under the Texas A&M University system and stands with strong traditions and rich history, but what makes this school different from the College Station and Galveston location is that fact that the campus is overly friendly, makes you feel you are family and at home, and isn't torn between strong Conservative beliefs. Our tour guide Ashlyn, was so nice, enthusiastic about the campus, and extremely informative!! She was even funny too. It was such an eye-opener from our horrible tour at UTSA yesterday. Tour date: June 15, 2016 at 1pm. Before the tour, we had the opportunity to watch a video about Tarleton which included strong history about how John Tarleton the founder of the school, how the mascot of the school changed from being the Plowboys to the Texans for the guys and Texanns for the ladies. Which was very cool!!! They were named the plowboys since they stood for dedication, work-hard, integrity, courage, and friendliness. Also, the video had additional information about tutition, academics, admission, housing, and where our fees would be going. The walking tour was like I said very informative and the fact that the campus was a beautiful one as well. Not one building looked exactly like the next which brought out character. They have two rec centers one mainly for cardio, weights, basketball, rockwall, racquetball, and track and another one for swimming. I really liked how my tour guide could answer all my questions about kinesiology and she even pointed out some main information about kinesiology and how kine majors would take some of their classes in the gym for running and swimming. The Wisdom Gym is for kinesiology majors. What I didn't know about Tarleton was the fact they have Pre-Veterinary as a major which was super cool just like Texas A&M. Also, they have a horticulture center and several gardens throughout the campus grounds. Plus, they have a horticulture club that anybody could join. So cool!!! Class size is low which is 19:1 and the largest lecture hall would be in the Science building for core classes mainly for freshman students.

    Professors and advisors rarely ever respond to emails or voice messages. Getting through to anyone…read moreat this school is a nightmare. This school has a very low budget and you won't get a good education. All in all, this school is just a diploma Mill. Now that I have my degree, nobody will hire me because I have no "experience" in the field. The only positive thing was that my FAFSA account paid for the whole thing but my degree was definitely not worth $15,000.

    I did not come here on purpose. As I was registering for classes at TCC, I signed up for a class…read morebecause the timing is good for me. But, to my fault, the class is not at the Trinity River campus, it's here. I'm not saying anything about the school system itself, but their Fort Worth location kind of stinks. The wifi is never working (how to people get work done?) and it smells like air freshener and lasagna.

    Attending this school was a nightmare. First of all, professors and advisors rarely return emails…read moreand voice messages. Getting a hold of anyone is like pulling teeth. Actually I think pulling teeth would probably be easier to be honest. Where do I start? Right from the get-go every time I would email the advisor for the program, it would be like crickets for weeks until I could call and get a hold of them to let them know I had emailed them. The entire medical lab science department is an under budgeted joke, including the histology department. The professor and advisors will lie to you through their teeth and tell you you'll have no problem finding a job after you finish school but what they don't tell you is that DFW is an oversaturated area and you won't be able to find a job without "experience" in the field already. The only positive thing from this was that my FAFSA paid for the entire tuition. But still, this program was definitely not worth $15,000. This school is just a diploma Mill, you won't be able to get a job once you get a degree. All in all this was a waste of my time.

I won't tell you everything they do to keep it a surprise but it'll probably be your nicest college tour. Baylor was a beautiful campus and looks to be an amazing place to go to college. My daughter is still making her decision but very impressed with Baylor.
