The campus is amazing, the staff is excellent, and the location is wonderful. I love the small school atmosphere. The professors truly get to know you and care about you. Everyone knows everybody, and the level of education is outstanding. Coming here is the best choice I ever made.

This campus is just wonderful, the small class sizes and the caring professors are what draw so many to this campus. The staff also care for its students, the students always have something to do around campus,to keep the involvement with the Seguin community TLU has two annual school wide service days one at the beginning of each semester.

Great school

Everyone is so nice and the professors get to know you on a personal level. The lunch ladies even know us by name and ask about out personal life. The class room sizes are a max of 35 and there are plenty of choices of courses to take. If you apply yourself, you will prosper greatly, I have made friends that I will have with me forever.

I love it here!

The only people that really complain about it is people who think they are better off somewhere else from the beginning and dont give the school or people a chance. But if its not for them thats fine too the people that do enjoy the school have a rigorous courseload and can be challenged everyday

Coming here was a huge mistake. I was on an academic scholarship, but still. The professors were ridiculously hard. Waste of a semester. I'm transferring after one semester here.

Transfer out

Wasted my freshmen year here. The campus looks nice but its a ghost town on weekends and nights. Horrible food, terrible dorms, ton of criminal activity, almost no clubs that met in person. Professors don't give a rip especially in the science department. This place is overpriced and scummy, they spice the place up when you visit before you attend.
Overall 1.5
The buildings are old and infested, the food is disgusting, I've literally been eating with this company since high school and it hasn't got any better. The only thing I like about campus are the cats that live here.
Overall 1.8
Transferred out to A&M. Big mistake going to TLU. If you like a small country school with less than impressive faculty the TLU is your place. Not very challenging but do they ever talk a good game. Most of the faculty and staff have been there over 30 yrs. The good ones are picked up at bigger and better. Most unprogressive school ever.
Overall 1.9
Too small and in the boon docks. Reputation is not upheld in attendance. Don'tpay this much money for a degree at TLU, when I can spend less at UT and get a degree from UT/Austin. I stayed for one semester so maybe I didn't get to experience what they sell. Is okay for students who struggled in high school because it's so small.

The dorms were terrible. They really need to be more selective on who they take in to dorm on campus. It was more the people that lived there, not the faculty that made it uncomfortable. I kind of wasted my time here. The students were great, but professors werent. Do NOT come to this school unless you want to be disappointed.
Overall 2
They don't tell you on the tours is that tuition increases by $1000/yr. Poor endowment. If you don't live within 30mls of campus you must stay in a residence hall for at least 2 yrs, regardless of hours and transfer. Mandatory expensive meal plan, $12 a meal? Paying real money it's still $10. Faculty is good. Orgs basic. Paternalistic campus.
Overall 2
Don't come. Go somewhere else. This school has had absolutely zero growth in 10 yrs. One of my profs called it 180 yrs of tradition unhampered by progress. If you do go don't live on campus. The classes were small but the professors were not overwhelming by any stretch of the imagination. Mediocre.
