Student Testimony<\/em><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

As an incoming freshman, Decision Day played a crucial role in my Tarleton experience. At first, I was not sure what Decision Day really was, but I kept seeing the opportunity to sign up on my Instagram. I was already excited to come to Tarleton so I figured I might as well sign up.  I soon after forgot that I even signed up for Decision Day until I received my Decision Day gift. Receiving this gift only added to my excitement to go to Tarleton and helped make the transition to college feel a little less intimidating.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

As Decision Day approaches, seize the opportunity to join the Tarleton family. Committing to Tarleton is not just about deciding on a college; its about joining a family, having the opportunity for exciting experiences, and preparing for your future. Your adventure begins here! #TarletonBound <\/p>\n\n\n\n
