I plan on transferring to SHSU for Fall 2026. I’m looking online at what apartments are close to the campus and are the safest with the best amenities? So far two names have come up consistently. Domain, The Armory and The Arbors. I am leaning more towards The Armory because it is about $200 cheaper and closer to campus but I have also read a couple people saying not to live there. The Arbors looks nice and so far i’ve read good things but I’m not sure of the proximity to campus? I do not intend on having any pets but I definitely want a nice fitness area, as well as wifi and washer/dryer included. I would appreciate any feedback. Thanks.

Originally I intended to transfer to TAMU Mays School of Business but I was rejected since my GPA was too low. Mays requires a minimum of 3.8 and i’m barely at a 3.2. These other schools only require a minimum of 2.7 so I’m considering applying this next semester for Spring of 2027. I realize TX Tech and SMU have more recognized business programs and bigger schools with more resources but I really don’t want to move to Lubbock or Dallas. I actually like that Sam Houston State University is a smaller school in a smaller town. I’m 36 so the whole party/bar scene isn’t really my thing anymore and I an ok with living in Huntsville where many students report, “There isn’t much to do.” My main concern is getting a decent job after graduation if I do decide to attend SHSU? I understand that networking is a big part of gaining employment as well as companies recognizing the school you attended. If anyone has any advice or feedback regarding these concerns of mine I would greatly appreciate it.
