Texas A & M University-College Station Top Questions

What do you brag about most when you tell your friends about Texas A & M University-College Station?

Jay

My grades at a top university in the state of Texas.

Alycia

The spirit and tradition. I love how many stories and rituals and traditions there are around campus from Midnight Yell before football games to saying "Howdy" to our wildcat calls to shrieking with excitement when we see Miss Reveille (our mascot), there are so many incredible things that happen at Texas A&M that you simply can't understand until you join the Aggie family. It's a lot of hard work, but simply being apart of the the spirit that keeps this place going makes it worth it.

Samantha

The sense of Community is unmatched by an other school I have visited and everyone always seems to be happy. I enjoy everyone's drive for higher achievement.

Megan

Get involved in the organizations and don't let failure discourage you! Everyone will tell you to sign up for organizations and trust me, it is definitely worth it. Texas A&M has over 900 student organizations to be involved in and they can take as little or as much time as you want to commit, so try new things that you would normally be scared of; you will meet some of your best friends and discover more about what you are interested in. If you don't get into the first one, don't give up!

Michael

The friendliness and traditions. They are unlike any other school.

Stephen

The best thing about Texas A&M is the Corps of Cadets. The Corps is basically a four year ROTC program with no military commitment required, and it is completely amazing! Cadets are taught how to follow, and then to teach and lead others. They learn about physical and mental health/fitness, create strong friendships, and develop self discipline and motivation. The Corps provides academic and financial support, and is second only to the military academies in the number of officers commissioned each year. It develops well educated leaders of character.

Nourin

I love this University. The campus, students and the proffesors are extreamly friendly, helpful and lively. The lively spirit of the university and all the traditions we have are extreamly encouraging and motivating. The university strives to provide the best educational services to students along with various cultural, social and environmental involvment. Texas A&M university has a very special place in my heart and i believe that evry student should have the opprtunity to experience such diversity and completeness in life.

Zoie

When i speak to others about my college experience, I always insist that it is like no other college experience. Texas A&M has a strong background in tradition and an overwhelming sense of family and friendship. The traditions practiced at the school encourage teamwork, compassion, leadership and enthusiasm for life. The aggie honor code is "aggies dont lie, cheat steal or tolerate those who do" , this code produces many fine men and women that live it to the tee which makes me very proud to be an aggie.

Christopher

The amazing amount of opportunities there are to get involved.

Patrick

The thing I brag most about Texas A&M is how friendly the population is. Very seldom do you come across someone who has not enjoyed their time here, and if they did not it was because they did absolutely no effort to find a niche. There are so many opportunities to get to know people and make life long friends. If you can not do it in a place as friendly as A&M then it will be very difficult for you to do it anywhere else.

Jennifer

The people! Everyone here is so friendly and a lot of them get really involved with the traditions. The campus wouldn't be anything without its students, and that's evident through the organizations, the classes, and definitely the football. Every person you meet won't become your best friend, but you can walk into a room where you don't know anybody and leave it having met a few new friendly faces.

Clayton

School spirit, generosity of time of the students to total strangers, welcoming atmosphere. Students are proud to be a part of this university.

Megan

I usually brag about all of our traditions. We have so many activites and events to attend that can help you form friendships, relationships and even a sense of family. Each one of our traditions has an awesome story to go along with it. Once you attend A&M I don't think that you would dream of going anywhere else.

Aubrey

We have over 50,000 students and are one of the most well known universities around. You don't get that kind of reputation without good reason. Many of our graduates have gone on to do pretty amazing things.

Fredrik

First of all Texas A&M has the best Petroleum Engineering department in the country, as well as one of the best Engineering colleges in the country, which makes it an excellent choice for those who want to pursue a career in egineering. There is also someting about the atmosphere in College Station that makes it a great place to be. Where ever you go, you are always met with a pleasant Howdy!, and going to any athletic event is always a blast.

Benjamin

The quality of the professors, the encouraging atmosphere, and the general friendliness of other students.

Ruth

Texas A&M is one of the friendliest places I’ve ever been from the moment, I stepped on campus I made several unknown friends as random strangers walked up to me, shouted HOWDY! Then kindly helped me find my way around. There has yet to be a single moment that I haven’t seen that word scrawled on the pavement with chalk or smack dab in the middle of a maroon shirt, every time I see that word, I can’t help but to smile.

Laura

Texas A&M is the friendliest campus I've ever visted. Classes are tough, but you will get a great education! Aggies are very proud graduates!

Josh

The number one thing I absolutely love about Texas A&M is it has the friendliest people I have ever met. From the employees to the students, they greet and treat you outstanding. It's also an absolute blast to be there. There are over 800 groups and plenty of social events. Texas A&M offers tradition that is unbeatable. From everyone saying Howdy to the roaring fans of the 12th man on Saturday afternoon, Texas A&M is the greatest school in the country. I've visited plenty of friends, at various schools, and they simply don't compare.

Reese

When telling someone about Texas A&M I first explain to them that this university is truly overlooked in terms of academic standards. Like any true Aggie will tell you, A&M has one of the hardest curriculums of any tier one univeristy. To achieve a degree from Texas A&M really means that that person earned every bit of their degree. Texas A&M is without a doubt the best of the best in academic success.
