Excellent university with very well educated faculty members who really care about engaging students. More than 140 student organizations, so it's easy to make friends. The buildings on campus feel quaint & charming or new and impressive. Javelina football is a blast, and students get into games free. I love the school and my major.

I love Kingsville. At first, I wasn't really into the "small town" vibe the city has to offer, but it's really a beautiful place to be. 10/10 recommend if you're looking for a comfortable place to study.

Great school with lots of opportunities. If you don't look into them and grow up and be responsible there is many career changing opportunities you'll miss out on. Don't throw shade just because it's in a small town there are many things that can be done to help you in your career that this campus can offer you!

Tuition is really cheap, but you definitely get what you pay for. The facilities are extremely outdated and run down. I also don't understand why they can't keep the school clean, especially the bathrooms. Seeing a janitor is a rare sight. However, it's about an hour away from the beach so that's fun, I guess.

I started out excited, having full intention that this would be an amazing school. It turned out that due to a huge, over-paid administration and poorly paid professors, the school is bankrupt on being able to successfully teach students. I got a good education but I had to work to find it. This is the LAST place I would send someone for school

The wifi in all the dorms suck. When you call in the itech to ask for help they don't do anything. I called three times saying that the wifi doesn't connect but it didn't seem like they care. There are insects and mosquitos in the dorms. My roommate and I broom in the room everyday but there are insects. Their dorms suck, wifi and everything suck.

Outside of the school there isn't much to do. Dorm food is horrible! There are only a few good bars. The school is okay just super old. Professors in ag department are great, some of the old men are jerks.
