should I study biology here?

Hey, I recently got admitted into txst, and I love the campus, but I hear it's not the best university for biology. I really want to do medical/cell/gene bio, specifically research, and I hear it is exceptional regarding marine biology. Is this true? How are there opportunities to find connections and do hands-on research on blood, medicine, or animals? Not just aquatic life.

Being honest, I'm sort of planning on transferring out of the university to hopefully Tamu or UT, just because I know they have those opportunities alongside opportunities when I graduate; I'm sure Txst does, too; I just haven't heard much and I'm hoping to be more informed. :)
