Nathan - 04/15/2020

I currently perceive it as the perfect school of my choice, since I will be enrolled into the General Engineering class for the 2020 - 2021 school year, however I will then be transferring to the College Station location for my Aerospace Engineering Major if I maintain a high grade point average.

Christopher - 05/07/2019

Texas A&M University at Galveston is a small campus, with small classes and excellent professors. Professors are knowledgeable on what subjects they teach and are more than willing to help their students succeed. Classes also often have hands-on learning opportunities available.

Kathyana - 03/19/2019

My overall opinion of Texas A&M Galveston is that it's a great school for students interested in any field that has to deal with the environment of our bodies of water. I personally like the campus myself because there isn't too many students so that learning is way interactive and easier for the students to comprehend what they are being taught.

Dominick - 11/12/2018

My opinion of Texas A&M Galveston is that it is an amazing school. Everywhere you turn there is always a helpful person waiting. Everyone truly cares about one and other, and it is an extremely safe environment. There are plenty of on campus jobs to keep you busy, and many good restaurants and other activities to keep you going nearby.

  2. What should every freshman at your school know before they start?

    There are a few things I did right and wrong for college. First off, do not be afraid to take a lot of your personal belongings from home. Your dorm room is not a box! You will have plenty of room for your belongings, and you will probably end up bringing them later. Plus, having your personal belongings sure makes being away from home in a dorm a lot more comfortable. Second, go crazy making friends. Making friends makes the change from home to college a lot easier. You will need people to talk to who feel the same. There is a 99{4a082faed443b016e84c6ea63012b481c58f64867aa2dc62fff66e22ad7dff6c} chance the people you see are new to the school. Saying hi just may make a new and helpful friend. Do not look down at the sidewalk just because you walk past someone new. Finally, go to school for what you want and love. Do not be talked out of persuing the degree of your dreams just because it does not have the same income as another. Do consider future finances but do not let them make the decision. If you do not love your degree what makes you thing you will love your future job? Exactlly!

  5. What's the one thing you wish someone had told you about freshman year?

    I wish I knew how to study. I did not know what to look for when I studied. I either wrote down too many notes or not enough, and this messed up how I studied. My previous school only cared about the standardized testing. If I knew how to study I could have done much better on my tests.

  13. Here's your chance: Say anything about your college!

    My school solely focuses on the maritime industry, that's what makes it so unique from other schools I considered. Evey degree available is to prepare you for the different maritime fields. From maritime administration to marine biology to marine engineering and plenty others, it all has to do with the water and the nautical involvements. Another thing that makes my school very unique from the other schools is that it's very small. There are only about 2,100 students and I love how everytime you turn a corner, you see someone you know.
