The school spirit around here is second to none. The "Aggie Spirit" is a living, breathing thing. Students care very deeply about the traditions this school is rooted in. The extensive network of alumni help to ensure that spirit never dies. The other schools I considered had spirit and traditions, but they just seemed like an exaggerated high school.

One thing that has stood out to me compared to other Universities I have visited is the strong bond students share. No matter if it's a sports event, a tough class, or if you just get lost on campus, there are always people willing to help each other. My first day freshman year I got lost, but I felt so comfortable going up to someone, especially a person with an Aggie Ring since that meant they had been at A&M for a while, to ask for help.

Diversity doesn't play much of a factor at this University, so maybe and possibly, it helps students feel more comfortable in a stable environment. Either way, you'll find someone who accepts you just the way you are.

Texas A&M Universtiy is unique amongst other Texas universities because of its strong traditions and dedication from students, alumni, and faculty. The Aggie community is recognized as being one of the friendliest in the country and is made up of diverse individuals. Texas A&M encompasses the city of College Station, TX giving a home-town feel to students who live there. No matter what your interest or major is, Texas A&M is sure to give you a quality education and a brighter future.

Everyone at the school is very supportive and nice. There is always someone to help you and they really let you know that you can come to them for anything. The student body makes it feel like its a huge family and really include everyone. There are many opportunities for freshman to get involved and meet new people.

The campus cooperation and loyalty Aggies have for each other is truly unique. Campus traditions like Silver Taps, Muster, and Bonfire Memorial where students gather at night to honor their fellow Ags who have passed away are an amazing experience. Every month Aggies will write condolence letters and gather in the academic plaza for a silent ceremony to comfort the families of the fallen and honor the memory of all students have passed from this world. This experience is heartbreaking and breathtaking as you see how Aggies take care of each other.
Genevieve
What is unique about Texas A&M is that once an Aggie a person is always an Aggie, I learned this during the Universities first Silver Taps where they honor students who have passed. Being in Academic Plaza at ten o'clock p.m. in the silence among thousands of students I knew that an Aggie could never pass without feeling love and compassion from others. This makes my school so special because the Aggie family is forever.

Something unique about my school compared to others is the traditions. Texas A&M has a long and proud history of school wide traditions that brings the whole campus, of over 50,000 people, together in unity. Some of the most famous are Aggie Muster, the Twelfth Man, the Aggie Ring, and previously the Aggie Bonfire. Unlike any other school I know of, the students at Texas A&M truly are proud and loyal to their school and want to make sure everyone knows how great their alma mater is.

Texas A&M is unique in that it promotes a system of values that hold integrity and honesty, the Aggie Code, in the highest of regards constantly and with intensity. The school spirit along with the sense of community Texas A&M offers is unlike any other school I've considered the past.
Kyle
What is unique about Texas A&M is the value of family that has become one of the most sacred traditions of A&M. Current Aggies and Aggie graduates are glad to help eachother and it creates a value of family on the A&M campus. I have not experienced this value on such a large stage as Texas A&M anywhere else.
Lauren
According to the Huffington Post, Texas A&M is considered to be the happiest campus in the nation. When I was deciding which college I wanted to attend, I considered many different types, private colleges, community colleges, but none of them could compare to the spirited greatness of Texas A&M. The most unique quality of A&M is the student body. Our motto is, "An Aggie will not lie, cheat, or steal, or tolerate those who do." We take this motto seriously, and we treat each other as family. No matter what you need, an Aggie will always help.
Monica
Texas A&M University was not my first choice. I was granted a scholarship to attend therefore it made sense financially. I do not regret my choice because I got a great education. Likewise, the camaraderie goes beyond graduation. Aggies continue to help me in my career path.

Texas A&M University is unique because of our high standard of tradition as well as academic honesty and integrity. The number of traditions that our school has outweigh most other universities in the nation and add to our schools popularity and prestige. Our academic honesty and integrity ensure that the people A&M sends out into the workforce have not only a high level of academic prowess but the wllingness to work hard and honestly or it.

Texas A&M is extremly friendly! Even on game days when our rivals come in. We have had many news articles written describing us as being friendly even to LSU fans.
Brittany
There is a spirit in Aggieland that is unlike anything else I have ever experienced. From the outside looking in, you can't understand it. From the inside looking out, you can't explain it.
Abby
We have a lot of tradtions that the students and alumni stand true to. It is what defines my school and most outsiders don't understand them.
Katherine
Texas A&M is a unique school because it is very centered around tradition. There are a great number of traditions that A&M has that makes this university unique. A&M is also a very unified body of students, faculty, and alumni. A&M is a very friendly campus; we are known for greeting everyone we see with "Howdy!"
