President of Texas State University – Denise M. Trauth explains the figure of enrollment in newsletter at Texas State is at 36,700 students for this fall. With the increase of enrollment more opportunities have risen for grants from major organizations. This not only affects the school but the current students.

The increase of enrollment has affected business management major and senior Raymond Fruebos, he says that he knows that San Marcos is one of the fastest growing cities in Texas. “Preparing for growth causes increase in tuition but in comparison to other schools Texas State still has a better tuition rate,” says Raymond.

Junior accounting major Chelsea Buckley is against the increase of enrollment here at Texas State and says it creates another set of problems such as lines and parking. “There isn’t enough parking for the number of students and the lines are increasingly long at the restaurants on campus which increases wait time,” says Chelsea.

Virginia Vallejo a Sociology senior thinks the higher number of students is a good and bad thing for the university as a whole. “The more students we have here means the more of a name we can create for ourselves and brings in more student,” Virginia said. For commuter students she says being one says there is less emphases on helping out the students who are driving here and more on the on housing students.
