Texas A & M University-College Station Top Questions

People who are used to really big cities will probably have the most trouble adjusting to the seclusion of the campus and surrounding town from other larger cities. Although College Station is a small city in itself, during the summer the place sort of clears out so those from big cities out of state will be bored and out of luck if they don't leave as well.

A lazy, undetermined, and undriven individual.

Ability gets you in, but hard work gets you through. If you aren't willing to treat school like a job, you don't belong at Texas A&M or any other university. A&M also has a large ROTC program and many traditions remaining from its time as an all-male military college, so those without a healthy respect for the military need not apply. There is a slight emphasis on engineering, business, and pre-medical programs, which could be a concern for students of the liberal arts.

Texas A&M was undergoing a major evolution during the time I attended. When I was a freshman, it was a very close minded place, but by the time I graduated it had opend itself considerably. I wouldn't recommend this school to anyone who needs a larger city setting in order to keep themselves entertained or feel comfortable, or anyone of especially liberal political views.

Some who is looking for a constant party. This school is fun but you must put in the work to enjoy the play. An individual who is not dedicated to their schooling should not at all consider this school. There is not much tolerance for lazyness.

Texas A&M is great for ALL students. There are many different degree plans offered by the university that there is certainly something for everyone, ranging from engineering to agriculture, and from business to medicine. Our campus was also rated one of the most diverse in the country. It is a place where students from all walks of life are accepted into the Aggie Family.

If you are not very hardworking or outgoing this school is not for you. A&M has difficult academics. Additionally, you must make a conscious effort to make friends. There are 50,000 people on campus so the average person knows more people than they can spend time with. Many student organizations are very competitive so you must work hard to join and participate in those. However, everyone here is friendly so it is not difficult to become friends with people.
