Texas Southern University Reviews
1 Review Submitted For Texas Southern University
- Reviewed on: February 26, 2012
Flag Review - Rating:
- I think that TSU is a decent school academically, though the quality and enthusiasm of the faculty varies greatly. Most of the students seem happy to be here, but I do wish there was more to do on and around campus. I am actually a bit disappointed with my choice, and if I were to do it over again I'd go with another school.
