Texas State University, San Marcos Ranking 2026 from QS, THE & US NEWS

• This year the percentage of students getting job was very less. only 20-30% of students got jobs in 6 months after graduation. 
• The average salary range is 90,000 USD. 
• There are career fairs organized in college every semester but the percentage of Indian students getting calls from career fair is less. So, mostly students rely on getting referrals from senior students and alums, linkedin application, Indeed application, Direct company career website application, and networking on Linkedin to company employees and recruiter by directly reaching out to them. 

• I opted off campus .
• I found it through facebook groups. I subleased an existing apartment from a student who was graduating.
• Monthly rent was 550 dollars in a 4bed 4bath apartment. amenities were gym, pool, parking spot. Apartment had a fridge, oven, microwave,  in-unit washer dryer. 
• Challenges were identifying real person from facebook groups because they are many people scamming. apart from that it was easy, you just have to apply to portal of the apartment to lease a room and pay application fee.
• For future students - they can look for The Oasis at river ridge pkwy. It's a good community with diversity of students. Also on TXST BUS route. 
• My apartment was 10-15 min far by bus. and with a self car it takes 8-9 mins. Most Indian students stay at The Junction and Oasis. 

Job opportunities in the field I went to school for are very minimum in the surrounding area but very plentiful when moving. Actual job placement was very sparse and I do not know very many students who were able to find a job through the college.

Scenic campus. Not far away from my family's home so it was easy to travel back and forth when need be. It was close to a large city that provided the entertainment needed as well as a lot of parks around the area.. It was a work out going through campus which was very much appreciated. The amenities offered were very nice like the gym and the library and the hours were great.
