Texas Southern University

"Great School. Nice size campus. Close to a lot of things. Easy to get around"

"Really wish I can give less stars! They refuse to ever answer the phone, the emails are presumptuous and aren’t clear, then they stop responding after you ask to recieve a call instead. Many system errors that caused me to sit out 2 semesters and now I have to pay student loan as I am STILL a student attending school there. Worst experience and if you have Big Goals and Dreams, DO NOT go here."

"Texas Southern University. *sigh* I visited this school countless number times because my boyfriend and I are long distance. The faculty and students became family. It got to the point where people thought I went there for graduate school. Everyone you meet at this school takes PRIDE in being a Tiger. Texas Southern University is a public Historical Black College University (HBCU). According to their website, "The university was established in 1927 as the Houston Colored Junior College. It developed through its private college phase as the four-year Houston Colored College. On March 3, 1947, the state declared this to be the first state university in Houston; it was renamed Texas State University for Negroes. In 1951, the name changed to Texas Southern University. " Let's just say, HISTORIC. Every time I would come visit, the school was always painted with the smiles of maroon and grey. Students have the opportunity to advance in their education with a bachelors, masters, and in Law. Texas Southern University is a championship school. When I say that, I actually mean it. Their sports teams are well known in their SWAC Division for great reasons. This charming HBCU school is home to a diverse amount of students that love to participate to make their school a better place. From their student council to Greek life (Black greek orgs, band, music, and multicultural), to specialized clubs, Texas Southern University has a lot to offer. Note and advise to current students and future students: Get involved. Do internships. Next work as much as possible and cherish what your school has to offer!"

"Worst service I've ever dealt with. I had to go in person about 8 times just to register for one summer class. Nobody knows what they're doing. They just sent me from building to building, it almost seemed like none of them wanted to do any work. All of the people are on their desks just watching their tv shoes while answering your questions. Then the day the class started they changed the professor, and the only reason I was taking the class there was because of the professor. The swapped professor was horrible. So I decided to drop the class the 3rd day and for three days they kept 50%, $700. Also the "counselor" that was in the student service office in the technology building seemed to care more about you signing in on her sign in sheet as if she was trying to fill a quota rather than helping you. Then on top of that she would be gone on 2-3 hour lunch breaks. Overall horrible experience, I would not recommend to anyone."

"The experience at my university has been a true blessing. Love the people here, the positive environment and the staff. The campus is lively, full of history and a great future. TSU has taught me to appreciate your heritage and love your black roots. HBCU is something I would recommend for everyone."
