Texas A & M University-College Station Top Questions

There are lots of great resources at Texas A&M, and the school does a good job of informing incoming students of the resources available to them. Looking back, I wish I'd taken better advantage of these resources. I made several changes to my major, and never really found what I wanted to do in life until graduate school. If I'd known how difficult it would be to find the right field for me, I would have sought help from the career services offered on campus to help me find a purpose for being at this school.

I wish I known how great A&M's traditions are. A&M is all based on their traditions and it makes you proud to be there and fulfilling those traditions. A&M gives you a new perception on life in itself. Going to this school isnt just a well spent education, but a grand experience.

I wish I had known more about the extra-curricular activities on campus.

In high school, I always did very well without having to study very much or at all. I just wish I learned how to properly study during my time in high school, because if I had, things would have been a lot easier on me now. Studying, and studying A LOT, is necessary for every class in college. However, I have managed quite well and now know how to study efficiently.

I wished I had been a little more prepared for the rigor of the study load to make a great GPR at college. I had to quickly learn how and when to study for classes. Once i learned how to study, then I was able to excel, but in the beginning of my freshman year, I did not and struggled quite a bit with my class load.

I wish I would have known that the food is not the best and that it is not crucial to live in the dorms.

I wish I known how big the school actually is and how willing the professors are to help you. Texas A&M is a school that is very spread out. It takes twenty minutes of walking sometimes to get from one class to another. Also, as a freshman, you're in class that has more than two hundred people, which makes it feel impersonal. However, if you go to you're professor's office hours, you don't feel like a number, you feel like a person, and they are willing to give you the help you need.

Before my first semester at A&M, I, like almost all freshman had butterflies in my stomach about these next four years would pan out. Even after one semester here, I feel at more at home here than anywhere. I wish I had know just how friendly and truly unique the atmosphere at A&M is. Nobody should be nervous about meeting people or just asking how to get to class--there is an unspoken bond here, where somebody will give your their shirt off their back without a second thought.

Texas A&M University did an awesome job at informing me about everything I needed to know before I came to college. There isn't anything that I wish I had known before coming.

Thankfully A&M has been a very friendly and helpful school; but I wish I would have known how to manage my time wisely, as well as how to study properly.
