Life at TLU

Living on campus here at TLU is not as bad as people may say it is. The positives of living on campus vary. Being away from the parents is a plus. But living from parents when I could use some money is definately a negative. Life in Seguin is actually kind of similiar to life in George West. Even though Seguin is a bigger town than George West, there is less to do here. Somedays when I feel somewhat homesick, I just go drive around in the "country-side" of Seguin. If I could change one thing about TLU, I would have to relocate the University into a bigger town with more to do. Overall, I enjoy going to school here at Texas Lutheran University, and I hope Seguin eventually gets more things for me to do.

Relating to small town life

Some people consider Seguin as a small town right outside of San Antonio. But to me, Seguin is a big city just south of San Marcos. To many students here at TLU consider campus to be a small school. But since I graduated with approximately 100 kids in my senior class, I consider TLU to be a big school. I went to school in George West, TX, which is a town of roughly 2500 people. In school and around town everybody new eachother, some teachers there graduated from there and have lived in George West all there life, 50% of the mexican students are related, as well as 50% of the white students are related. Now at TLU, I still struggle with remembering names, students here are from all over the world, and I doubt 50% of two different races are related. An odd thing about George West and it being a small town, the High School had 5 pairs of twins. The culture wasn't diverse, there was 60% whites, 39% mexican and 1% African American. We had more twins than we had African Americans!
