Texas A & M University-College Station Top Questions

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!
