Texas A & M University-College Station Top Questions

Though the size is great, one must not forget their sense of worth and belonging. Opportunities are everywhere, though sometimes they are hide to uncover.

In my opinion, the most frustrating thing is getting around town without a car. My parents didn't allow me to bring mine and it gets pretty frustrating every time I need to get groceries or if I just want to go out for a relaxing time. Just bring a car!

College Station, while still having its fair share of amenities/entertainment, is still relatively suburban and doesn't really give off that "big city" vibe that some people may hope for when going to college. And because of that it sometimes seems overshadowed by UT Austin and compared to them, its often portrayed as a "country town college".

The most frustrating thing would have to be that the recreation center renovations will not be finished until 2016. Another frustrating thing would have to be how old the dorms are and that there are not enough to even house the freshman class.

How big the campus is and having to walk miles across campus in the Texas heat.

The most frustrating thing about Texas A & M University- College Station is the size of the Freshman courses. As a first-year student there I was engulfed by my classmates in my Biology class, but once you find your groove in learning, it takes the weight off your shoulders a little.

What I consider the most frustrating part of Texas A&M is the word "howdy". I know that it is a huge part of the school but I find the word to be ugly. It is used everyday, from students to the teachers to just the way people greet each other. I personally do not use the word but it is a part of the school and I know that will not ever change.

Not good financial aid, was only offered loans. I would have liked to been given grants.

Frustration is an emotion that I have barely experienced while at Texas A&M. There are teachers, advisors, peers and friends to help you whenever you are unsure about something, no matter what the issue. Managing time properly can sometimes get frustrating because there are so many opportunities and experiences that you want to take advantage of, yet not enough time. Although this is sometimes frustrating, I have been able to systematically discover successful ways to participate in many different things without missing out on a deeper level of involvement in each activity and friendship.

We're not too big on recycling and I'm a recycle freak so it kind of bothers me when I see the lack of recycling bins around campus.

Being accepted into such a prestigious university I knew that expectations would definitely be high to meet, therefore, with all honesty I would say that the most fustrating obstacle as being a student at Texas A & M, is the huge transition each freshmen goes through from high school to college, wether it be technical school, a two year college, or university.

Everything about this university is very good. Probable the worst thing is that there is a lot of construvtion going on.

There is a lot of construction blocking off several of the streets on campus. Also, the meal plan options are not suitable to what I want.

The weather here is very hot and humid.

The biggest factor that could be frustrating is the size of the campus. Some prefer smaller, more individual learning environments; Texas A&M is far from this.

This is a research institution so a lot of the professors are primarily focused on their research. Some are not the best lecturers as a result. Some of the tenured professors are not as concerned with their students as they are with their research.

Freshman class sizes are big

The most frustrating thing at my school is that the irrigation is not very good. If it has been raining for a couple of days then there are spots on campus that turn in to small lakes, however there are construction plans in place to fix the infrustructure issues.

Sometimes the size of the university lets individual students get lost in the crowd.

The weedout classes, notably biology and chemistry. Except for the people who get the easy profs, there is rarely anything good to be said about those classes. They're definitely managable, and are good for teaching you how to learn- which is the idea behind college- but if you don't stay on top of them, you can really fall behind. A&M is known for having an intensive science program though. Just don't talk to the liberal arts majors when you have a rough test week. They'll only make you feel more disadvantaged. You'll make it!
