Texas A & M University-College Station Top Questions

Even though A&M is a pretty big school, I still run into people I know everywhere. And to top that all off, a lot of people I meet will already know my other friends... weird. The school spirit here is A-M-A-Z-I-N-G! At first I wasn't sure I was into it all, but it is fun really fun. If you haven't been to a football game... GO! It changed my entire attitude about A&M becuase it was just that fun. Anyways, basically I hang out with friends in the dorm a lot and we'll go watch sporting events, see a movie (only $4), or eat. We eat a lot... haha. Being in a samll college town is fun because everything is geared towards college kids and it's just a lot of fun.

We take a tremendous amount of pride in our traditions and our school. To become an Aggie is to become part of a network of people tied together through our common experiences which reaches across the globe. You will get out of it as much and more than you put in, and it is an experience which goes far beyond a good education.

A&M is definitely a very large campus. I think there are roughly 40,000 students. That may be too big for some people, but it allows everyone to do whatever it is that they're interested in. A&M does not require the freshman to live on campus, because there simply is not enough space to house all the freshmen, but I do strongly suggest that you live on campus for at least a year. It's an amazing experience! College Station is definitely a college town; it's right there in the name! The school was there first, and there are train tracks that run through the campus. The story goes is that College Station got its name because when riding the train, students and visitors sometimes didn't know at which stop to get off. So at the train station, someone took a board and wrote "college" on it, and nailed it above the sign that said "station." And thus College Station was born. So everything in College Station revolves around A&M. The students at A&M have tons and tons of school pride. There are certainly "2 percenters," or people who are uninterested in A&M's tradition and are only involved in the university about 2{4a082faed443b016e84c6ea63012b481c58f64867aa2dc62fff66e22ad7dff6c}. But most Aggies are incredibly proud to be Aggies, and they are very involved in all things A&M. A&M is a place to feel welcome, invited and loved. It's like a big family. There is a comaraderie at A&M like no other school I've ever seen. If I see anyone on the street wearing an Aggie ring, I've made a new friend. Aggies will gladly go out of their way to help another Aggie, and that's one of the main things I love about A&M.

The best thing about Texas A&M is the long standing tradition. Everyone is so friendly and you never feel like you're at a huge school, well, except on game days. The town is built around the college, but I personally love the feel of the town. There's everything you need, but not in a big city. I come from a small town myself and I've never felt overwhelmed going to a school with 46,000 students. The school pride at Texas A&M is amazing, there is so much spirit. I'll never forget my first, well, my first anything at A&M.

Okay so if u dont like big schools then dont come here!! haha the classes are huge! A&M has an amazing since of school spirit so if you love football games and love to be proud of your school A&M is for you!!! this school is amazing and it is somewhat like a disease that once you cantch you dont want it to go away!! College station is soooo much fun!!

The best thing about A&M is probably the fact that we have great traditions that include Silver Taps (a memorial service held every month for the student body and family of any students that have passed away during the month), Muster (a memorial service held where ever there are two or more aggies that remeber all former students who have passed on during the year), standing at football games (to represent the 12th man and his spirit), midnight yell and the midnight mugging (this is where the whole students gather in Kyle field at midnight to the aggie yells and then kiss their dates), and fish camp (where freshmen can learn all of the traditons and make friends before they go to school. When people ask me where I go to school I tell them with pride that I attend texas A&M University.

I love Texas A&M because it's a HUGE campus in such a small town. Everyone gets to know everybody. It is the perfect college town. I came from a city of about 200,000 people and I thought that was small. Coming to College Station, I realize that was highly inaccurate, but A&M still feels so big to me. I love it.

Texas A&M is a very unique place. There is no place like it on earth. I am from big city Dallas, and coming to College Station was a bit of a culture shock for me, but in a good way. Texas A&M has such a warm and friendly atmosphere. The spirit and traditions are what separates Texas A&M from any other university. There are so many aspects to campus and to A&M's history that make Texas A&M more than just a college. A&M becomes a home. I could go on all day about Texas A&M, but you cannot comprehend it until you see and feel the Aggie Spirit. "From the outside looking in you can't understand it, and from the inside looking out you can't explain it."

I love A&M and the Aggie Family, however the administration does kind of suck here.

This town is not really big enough for students looking for things to do all the time. There is a movie theatre and Northgate, the bar district; but there isn't much else.
