Texas A & M University-College Station Top Questions

The short answer is: everything! There is a network here that encourages former, present, and future aggies to achieve huge goals in every aspect of life. This struck me head-on before I even entered College Station for the first time. At the National Youth Gathering of Lutherans this past summer in New Orleans, a man stood on top of a fire engine in the middle of 40,000 people. With his megaphone, he looked straight at me (wearing a Class of 2013 shirt) and yelled, "Hey, you," pointed to his aggie ring, and smiled. There is nothing like it.

The first thing I noticed at the admissions processing at Texas A&M was how much everyone cared about you. You weren't just another number like every other school I had applied to. Each councilor, advisor, teacher, all wanted to get to know you personally. Everyone kept telling me "we want you to succeed," which made me feel even more certain I wanted to go here.

At Texas A&M you never feel too far from home, the school is great, the teachers are the best, and everyone on campus makes you feel at home. Once your in A&M your invited into the family and the traditions of this school stay close to your heart. When entering College Station you can tell how dedicated the town is to the school, to me A&M isnt in College Station, College Station is in A&M.

Texas A&M University in College Station is a unique university compared to others because of their honory codes that the students honor. "An aggie will not lie, cheat or steal...". This code is a basis for all students attending the university. Texas A&M also has a recognized veterinarian program.

Texas A&M is a very tradition oriented school. We often joke that if it happens twice it becomes a tradition. The great thing about this is that it creates a close knit community with a sense of pride and belonging that is shared by everyone. Aggies stand behind their school and each other no matter what, and it is wonderful to know that there is always someone close by who is willing to help you reach your goals.

What I enjoy most about Texas A&M is that everyone has this sense of unity and pride. Becoming an Aggie means becoming part of a family, something bigger than yourself. I like how there are a lot of traditions and everyone follows them. Everyone greets eachother with a "Howdy!" so though it's a huge campus, it has a friendly, small town feel that makes you feel right at home. I believe this is what makes A&M unique and enjoyable, not to mention just what I needed to make me less nervous as a freshman.

Texas A&M University is unique because of their long standing traditions that bring the aggie community together. The university not only recognizes each individual but also values each persons opinion. The university also values and emphasizes that an aggies never lies , cheats, or steals in any way, and every student seems to follow suit.

At Texas A&M University, not only does the school provide excellent academic programs, it also gives you a sense of closure in such a friendly environment such as this one. Every individual on campus is open and friendly to each other never afraid to meet new people. We are one big family. The Aggie Family. Other schools, everybody keeps to themselves and their own lives and nobody cares for one another, but the environment here is completely different.

The atmosphere makes you feel as if you are in your home town. People are very friendly and outgoing and are always willing to give a hand. Instead of saying "hi" to just your friends, everyone on campus gives a smile and a pleaseant "Howdy" to their fellow students as they pass on campus. It really makes you feel welcome especially at such a large university.

A&M is a large school that feels much smaller than it is. It is full of traditions and spirit that makes it unique and creates a bond between all of the students that attend it.

A&M's school spirit and tradition is unparalleled by any other university i've considered. From the first moment i walked around the campus i felt at home. Everyone has a friendly face, and it's not strange to strike up a conversation with a stranger on the street.

The Spirit and Tradition at Texas A&M University cannot be found anywhere else in the world. For example, the student body is known as the 12th man. It relates back to one of the first football games where a student was called from the stands to help his team. So we stand every football game ready to help, and we stand everyday for eachother. There is a true bond between all Aggies, and I am so excited to be apart of it. We are the Aggies, the Aggies are we.

The friendliness and sense of family and community at this school is unlike any other I have ever experienced.

You are not just a number

A&M has the most school spirit I've ever seen. It not only abides to numberous traditions, it also values respect and academic integrity greatly above anything else. The pre-med program I'm in is unlike any other available. It is extremely chalenging yet very fullfilling. In sum, A&M is a wonderful school who's values and traditions exceed that of any other school.

I am attending Lonestar Community College wich was not on the list so I put in the university I hope to transfer to. The college is unique in that even as a community college it offers so many things I wouldn't expect till I attended a university. Things like a full work out facility and a library that is linked to the Harris County library. The professors here all seem to be very knowledgable on the subject they teach.

My School is unique in that we have our traditions and we will fight tooth and nail to keep them.

School Spirit. Academic integrity,

What does it mean to be a Texas Aggie? Being an Aggie means having overflowing school spirit and embracing traditions. We have a saying on campus if it happens twice it is a tradition. The Spirit of Aggieland is felt from the moment one sets foot on campus. We feel Texas A&M is one huge family, and with over 800 student organizations it isn't hard to be involved. When your an Aggie, your an Aggie for life. Everytime you leave College Station your guaranteed a stranger will nod your way to say Howdy and Gig'Em.

My school is very tradition oriented. There are still things that we do today that was starting when the school was first started. It creates a huge sense of community between current students, alumni, and even future students with an interest in the school. It creates a great network of people to later be associated with.
