Texas A & M University-College Station Top Questions

I wish I had known how important extracurricular activities are at A&M; I would have gotten more involved.

Although I knew a great deal of information about this school before I attended, I wish I had known that I needed to get involved more. It is such a big campus with thousands of students, which makes it difficult to make close knit friends. Organizations help in creating good friendships and also help in making a student learn how to manage their time more appropriately and focus on their priorities.

There were a lot of unexpected things I wasn't sure about when I was coming to college. One thing I didn't expect was the amount of studying involved. I studied hard for my very first test and felt I was ready, but I was wrong. The transition can take you away like an ocean wave. I wish I would have known what to study, how to learn it and ways to manage my time to learning it all. Had I known what to expect, with my studies, during the first semester it would have been so much smoother.

I wish I had known that since people tend to move off campus after sophomore year, it takes more effort to keep up with friends who are living off campus. I also wish I had more information about the cultural events at the school.

Before I came to Texas A&M I wish I would have known more about the Corps of Cadets. The Corps of Cadets is a military based organization that really enstills the spirit of the country and the school into the people in it as well as keeping above average grades.

How many people there were and the difficulties that can result trying to get from place to place and a little bit more about what I initailly wanted to major in.

I honestly think I knew the things I needed to go to this school. Fish Camp helped prepare me with all the traditions and school spirit. It also helped me meet fellow students so when school started I had people I knew to do stuff with. The campus is big with a lot to offer and if you ever have questions people are more than willing to help. The only thing I would've liked to know more about was off campus housing options. However, I would've never met some of my closest friends if I lived elsewhere.

My college experience fostered my strong personal and professional relationships, and reinforced my passion for community involvement and service orientated habits. I was supplied with a strong foundation of confidence and pride in my tactical skills neccessary to develop my professional goals and growth. Ambition coupled with action and dertimination is key to reaching one's fullest potential and needs to developed and strengthed upon continuously. My experience at Texas A&M University and my personal influences have instilled a valuable drive and a work ethic of a life-long learner that has contributed to successfully exceeding my professional goals.

I wish I had known how welcoming the students and faculty were. Students shouldn't be afraid to approach anybody on campus. GET INVOLVED!! There are so many organizations to get involved with, so don't be afraid!

how conservative it is.
