Texas A & M University-College Station Top Questions

The worst thing about Texas A&M is probably the fact that most, not all, but most of the people who go to that school are very conservative and tend to not want to listen to others view points or opinions. I have not found this to be the case with the proffesors but very true with most of the student body.

The worst part about the school are the buildings. They were built awhile ago and have not been updated. No building matches the one next to it and many of the dorms smell like mold. It makes the campus look gross and out of date. Although there are a few beautiful buildings on campus, many are not and it is sort of awkward to to show people around and they obviously dont like what they are looking at. People definitely do not come here for the pretty campus.

Personally the worst thing about my school, in my opinion, is the fact that school policies are deeply rooted in conservative traditions and change is not readily embraced very well.

I feel that the worst thing about my school is that there are so many opportunities for clubs, organizations, and extra curricular activites that it becomes difficult to find the right one for you or to find out about all of them. There are informationals and activities where the student body tries to publisize all the available opportunites, but it is still hard to decide and find out about all of them. I suggest talking to friends and students that have already been attending for at least one year to give you some guidance.

There is little racial diversity among the staff and student population, and very little tolerance towards students of backgrounds other than caucasian.

The worst thing about Texas A&M is the amount of construction going on. Currently the school is trying to re-vamp the campus by 2020, but that means that, for those of us graduating before then, we have to deal with closed roads and walkways, reduced student lounges and dining options, as well as the noises of construction heard all over campus. I'm sure the school will look amazing in 10 years, but until then, students have to deal with the problems caused.

The unwillingness of most of our students to accept opposing viewpoints from their own. Many students here are very Republican and very Christian and do not accept anyone who does not believe exactly as they do.

The worst thing about my school is the size. It has an extremely large student body.

It's hard to find something wrong with Texas A&M; I only see positive aspects of the school and it's environment. If i had to choose a negative part of my school, I suppose it would be the housing situation for women. While there are plenty of living options off campus, on campus dorms are hard to come by especially as a female freshman.

I haven't found anything to be wrong with the school so far, but the only tedious thing I find is all the walking because the campus is so large. That problem is my fault because I haven't become acquainted with the transportation system my school provides. Everything else about my campus is great.

I think the worst thing about Texas A&M is the lack of respect the school sometimes gets due to the fact that the sports teams haven't been that good and the lack of minorities attending the school.

Teachers seem to be more focuse on their research. Classes aren't based on real world jobs. I haven't really used anything that I learned in college.

The worst thing about my current school that i've noticed so far is the limited face-to-face help. Everything that needs to be done is done over the computer. For example, making tuition payments, housing payments, meal payments, and just any type of general help can not be taken care of in person.

In the past, A&M has been known for being friendly and open. With the school's population being right on the cusp of 50,000 students, more people are being let in the school so we can break 50,000. Approximately 2,000 extra students are being let in each year. Diversifying the school is great and expanding is even better, but not at the cost of the school's reputation. With more people being let in, the friendliness that makes A&M what is it is being deminished.

Texas A&M University has enrolled thousand of student from different part of the world. I think that one of my problems is the difficulty to talk to the professor during or after class because the amount of student one basically needs to wait in line to talk to him directly and if I want to talk to him at his office it is really difficult because it is the same situation. Also the campus is so big that you need a bicycle to get around and get in time in class.

I honestly have no problem with my school. It was my number one choice for a reason and the only school I applied to.

Texas A&M is a large university, because of this I find it difficult to get involved. There are so many organizations and options that it can be extremely overwhelming. Durring the school year there is not enough time to get informed of and attempt all the extra curricular activities you are interested in. The size is the worst thing about Texas A&M and I believe by making information on organizations more readily available this fault could be resolved.

To be completely honest, I haven't found any bad things about my school, and I love it all, I can't help but like it.

The worse thing about my school is that there are so many great things to do, so many clubs and things to do, people to meet, many people to meet, you just don't have enough time within your four-year degree plan to manage it. There are so many oppurtunities and unique possibilities for an incoming freshman, and any student for that matter that it makes it extremely difficult to choose, exactly what to do first.

It is hard to pick something that is bad because there are so many good things. The worst would have to be the the size of the classrooms and the amount of other students you have to compete for classes.
