Texas A & M University-College Station Top Questions

What's the most frustrating thing about Texas A & M University-College Station?

Melissa

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.

Alma

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!

Jenny

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".

Vanessa

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.

Rachel

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

Dominic

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.

Elisa

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.

Hannah

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

Grace

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.

Betty

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.
