It's true then. Everything is bigger and better in Texas.

More students = more student fee $$$

Texas State should be set for a long time.

Time for the city to catch up to university. Aquarena traffic is horrible...all the time. And with all the new apartments down Post road, major road work needs to happen on that side of town. But I do like how the city has grown from downtown out towards the outlets in the past few years.

Congratulations, but you guys need to stop killing off your student body in the name of science. Flies are such nuisance.

The body farm is cool. It's also the largest in the US.
I wanted to donate myself there but my husband said nah. Going the cremation and Vet's Cemetery route instead.

Ah, the farm is off Main Campus on the working ranch (Freeman Ranch) so it's all good.
