Your friends will be fighting for office hours with 200 other students. You'll be having coffee with your advisor. Rural isn't less. It's just different. And for pre-vet? Animals don't live in skyscrapers. You need land. You chose well. 🐄

"If I cut corners on a paper, what's stopping me from cutting corners on a patient?" That sentence is your answer. The C you got is honest. The A from a service would be a lie. Nursing is about trust. Trust starts with yourself. You trusted yourself. You wrote the C. You slept fine that...

Opra, I'm a senior who's commuted all four years. Here's my routine: Morning: Leave home at 8:15am. Arrive campus 8:30am. Park immediately (before 9am is key). Walk to class. Arrive 8:45am. Class at 9am. Afternoon: If I have a gap, I stay on campus. Not worth driving home and back. I study in...

I did this last year. Same script basically. Read a paper. Asked a question in office hours. Got a data entry position. Now I'm co-author on a conference poster. Here's what happens next: data entry is boring. You'll stare at spreadsheets and wonder if this is research. It is. It's the...

Here's the honest truth: yes, it's in the middle of nowhere. The closest Target is in Amarillo. The closest airport is tiny. But that's also the point. If you're easily distracted, WT is great. There's nothing to do except study. I got better grades there than anywhere else. Just depends what...

🤨 You're overthinking this. St. Edward's is literally in Austin. Go to their career center website. Look at the companies that recruit there. I bet you'll see Dell, Indeed, Atlassian, HomeAway (now Vrbo), and a dozen startups. The "big school pipeline" matters for Wall Street. For Austin tech...

I transferred to Schreiner in the fall. I've been here one semester. Here's what I've learned — the good, the bad, and the surprising. 📝 The good: My professors know my name. Not just my name — my life. My art history professor knows I want to work in museums. She's already connected me with...

People think I'm crazy. I'm leaving UT Austin — one of the best public universities in the country — for Schreiner University. A school most people have never heard of. My friends asked if I was failing out. I wasn't. I was drowning. 🌊 UT Austin is huge. 50,000 students. My intro classes had...

Schreiner makes a big deal about their "First-Year Experience" program. All freshmen take a seminar together, live in the same dorms, and do outdoor orientation trips. It sounds like summer camp. Is that good or bad? 🏕️ I talked to a current student. She said the outdoor trip — four days of...

I'm from Houston. 2.3 million people. Schreiner University is in Kerrville. Population 25,000. That's not a city. That's a large neighborhood. 🏙️ I visited last spring. The campus is pretty — hills, trees, quiet. But quiet scares me. I'm used to noise. I'm used to options. Restaurants open at...
