BarryLaverty Posted July 19, 2021 Share Posted July 19, 2021 Took the youngest daughter to tour SFA, her 3rd choice, and I was personally very impressed with the beauty and layout of the campus and the info received. Then, went into local joint called Kinfolks for some afternoon breakfast, and a gentleman in coveralls handed us all a little book with the Constitution inside. Think that's how he spends some of his time, or we might have given off a vibe! Enjoyed my day visit to parts of the state new to me. Didn't get any Republican on me. Checked it off the bucket list! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know a lot of people who graduated from SFA. It’s definitely a pretty part of the state and a pretty campus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BarryLaverty Posted July 19, 2021 Author Share Posted July 19, 2021 She is leaning hard toward Texas State because of friends who are there starting August, but we are sending test scores to both, and throwing in UT and TCU, which are both 'reach' schools for educators' kids that don't give merit aid much. I would be happy with SFA. No Aggies of my kids!!! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glad that you enjoyed the Piney Woods, is she majoring in education? I think education and forestry are still their 2 biggest majors. I know the campus has changed a lot since I was there some 30 years ago. But it is still a great place. My daughter is gathering information about it also, we haven't taken the trip down there yet. I'd love for her to go to SFA--since my sister lives just 25 miles away in Lufkin--and would be easy for her to help if there was a problem. Did you go to the "old stone fort"? I'd love to tell some great places to eat, but they have all changed so much since I was there. If you go back, you need to try "Butcher Boys" it made some great burgers back in the day--sister still goes by there every once in a while and tells me about it. LOL.

EnjoyLife Posted July 19, 2021 Share Posted July 19, 2021 My wife graduated from SFA. Certified to teach 1-8 grade (I think) but has never took a teaching job. She graduated with a 3.8 gpa...smart girl...except when it comes to picking men . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I majored in nothing...I took roughly one semester of college years ago, and a few other courses since then, but I'm nowhere near close to a degree. Way back when I was in high school, I had a few different things I wanted to do. At one point I wanted to be: an Architect, A Psychologist, a Physicist, an Electrical Engineer, and a Programmer. Wasn't too sure on Psychology or Physics because I didn't want to take all that time to get a Doctorate. I forget why I didn't go the Architecture route, but as most(??) of you know, I ended up in Software Engineering. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would love to know at what point they quit calling my name for attendance. It was probably pretty funny to those who actually went to class. I wasted alot of $ on that stupidity.
