Parking tickets, paid garage parking if you don't have time to take a bus across town to get to the campus and hike to class. When I was attending, the construction was so bad on the roads I popped a tire on a rock and was stranded for 4 hours. Professors are absolutely terrible. They are condescending and rude. The course work is absolutely ridiculous across majors, a lot of professors don't clearly define projects but then grade you as if they did. Healthcare Administration program professors mock students and spread misinformation, try to make students fearful of their future careers and financial courses are useless to the job, an old man talking about his "knowledge" about healthcare finances. Required reading: the book he wrote. Project management course, I worked on a commercial for the school, professor took off points because she didn't like the commercial and said it wasn't "relevant" to healthcare administration because I didn't include stock images of an administrative job. I had to call professors out regularly for their unethical and insufficient grading. All of this during my two years there, and I had at least two professors openly mock me as if I was dumb. The last straw was them telling me to work 40 hour weeks in residency that I had to secure from their "approved list" with no pay or promise of a job in the end. Changed my major the next week. One professor told me I would be "working at McDonald's" if I changed my major and another mocked a response I had to the lesson in a sarcastic tone both in front of the class. I felt totally embarrassed and absolutely alone, overworked and overwhelmed while attending this school. I wish I could get my money and time back from this university, but in the very least have my degree that I worked so hard for. One psychology History & Theory course in particular held me back from graduating because professor gave over 100 assignments during the semester and took off points because she didn't agree with your opinions, on opinion based assignments. Begged her and asked what I could do to bring my grade up multiple times during the semester and she refused consistently and failed me in the end. Tail end of COVID. $1000 to retake the course. I spent more time trying explain myself to these professors than I ever should have as a college student, it's their job to grade properly and set students up for success, instead they use their position to bully students. They withheld my degree over this one class and the professor has been poorly reviewed for years! Over 120 credit hours earned and thousands of dollars, please send me my diploma!

As far as I can tell, the validation ticket is indefinite, so you can save up to $20 for the full day! Two stars is for the usual campus bookstore price gauging, long lines, lack of cashiers, low inventory, and apathetic management.

We realized he was was craving structure and independence, and we were looking for a school that would allow him to grow into the man we knew he could be. When we visited SMA and met with the Director of Admission, Corey Boyer, and some of the faculty member, we realized it was what we were looking for... a place for him to grow and mature within a supportive community. SMA is close enough to Houston that we are able to cheer him on at games, go up for special events, be a part of his life, yet also know that when we can't be there he will be a part of a community that is like a second family to him. Parrish has thrived at San Marcos Academy. He went from not caring much about school to becoming a straight A student! Amazing! He has taken advantage of many of the opportunities available to students such as, playing Varsity baseball, where he was named First Team All-District, running Varsity track, being chosen as a Student Ambassador, participating in the ROTC program (one semester required for boys), was a lead cast member in the school musical, Frozen, and he is looking forward to playing football this upcoming year. Our relationship with our son is the best it's been in many years. At SMA he has as been afforded the opportunity to grow and mature through taking responsibility for himself as a boarding student by learning to manage his time, implementing new study habits, and . I know that he will be a confident young man who is prepared for college and entering the "real world" upon graduation. I can't say enough about this fabulous place. I know he is right where he is supposed to be. He is looking forward to starting his Junior year next week and plans to graduate from SMA in 2024.
