Texas A&I University, now Texas A&M-Kingsville (TAMUK) is a great university and has been the flagship university in South Texas since it began it's service to the region back in 1925. It has a private school feel at a public school price. The faculty and staff are known to very helpful, friendly and caring. I was a student there from 1989-1993, graduated under the last class of A&I before the name change! Whew! Then I spent one more year there to receive a master of science degree. I had a great time being a Javelina.
