Austin College

Pros: small classes, diverse population
Cons: small, smelly town and lack of support for freshman

While I attended Austin College, I recall liking it. I loved the freedom of being away fro home. I loved the sense of independence. I met friends almost instantly in the dorm I lived in, Clyce. I still talk to some of my friends from there.

Pros: the people, campus, faculty, and education
Cons: the lack of excitement in Sherman

I honestly have to say that I love Austin College and I could not be happier attending school there. Originally planning to attend another school, I now feel thankful that because of the scholarship I was granted, I was able to attend Austin College....

Pros: the professors are always willing to help, everyone is friendly, and the campus is nice
Cons: sherman is not an exciting small town, and sometimes sherman has a funky smell :)

I came to Austin College last year as a freshman, and I have not once regretted my decision to come here. To begin with, the teacher-student relationship is unmatched. At what other schools do you find professors having students call them by first...

Pros: Incredible faculty/Great international focus and awareness/Innovative curriculum
Cons: Proximity to a salad dressing/mayonnaise factory

An education at Austin College is, in all respects, priceless. Based on the classic principles of learning, students work under full professors who are amongst the most-highly respected and qualified scholars in their fields. Imagine being on a...

Pros: Personal, Academic, and Unique Atmosphere
Cons: High Tuition

During my college search, I was surprised at the opportunities Austin College offered its students. In Texas, Rice University is the only school that is above it. However, if Rice's daunting admissions statistics scare you, and you are looking for a...

Pros: Excellent academic reputation
Cons: Small

While I graduated from Austin College a long time ago, my affiliation with the school continues to pay dividends. Those people who are familiar with Austin College always seem to hold it in high esteem. Accordingly, they frequently transfer this esteem...

Pros: Excellent academic standards. Strong peer support.
Cons: Not enough local support. There should be AC billboards around Sherman and in Oklahoma.

Being from a small town in Oklahoma...Sherman was actually pretty exciting for me. However, after living in Irving and Plano, Texas since graduation....there's not much difference. Sherman is like a suburb without a big city.

I was a little older than most when I transferred to AC, and had already been on my own and supporting myself when I arrived my sophomore year. My first impression was the overwhelming support I experienced from my fellow students and the faculty to do well. I had to work two jobs while a student, which made if more challenging than most to graduate, but I did it! I am eternally grateful for the encouragement I received from the AC community to accomplish my goals and dream big.
