Texas A & M University-College Station Top Questions

The short answer is: everything! There is a network here that encourages former, present, and future aggies to achieve huge goals in every aspect of life. This struck me head-on before I even entered College Station for the first time. At the National Youth Gathering of Lutherans this past summer in New Orleans, a man stood on top of a fire engine in the middle of 40,000 people. With his megaphone, he looked straight at me (wearing a Class of 2013 shirt) and yelled, "Hey, you," pointed to his aggie ring, and smiled. There is nothing like it.

The first thing I noticed at the admissions processing at Texas A&M was how much everyone cared about you. You weren't just another number like every other school I had applied to. Each councilor, advisor, teacher, all wanted to get to know you personally. Everyone kept telling me "we want you to succeed," which made me feel even more certain I wanted to go here.

At Texas A&M you never feel too far from home, the school is great, the teachers are the best, and everyone on campus makes you feel at home. Once your in A&M your invited into the family and the traditions of this school stay close to your heart. When entering College Station you can tell how dedicated the town is to the school, to me A&M isnt in College Station, College Station is in A&M.

Texas A&M University in College Station is a unique university compared to others because of their honory codes that the students honor. "An aggie will not lie, cheat or steal...". This code is a basis for all students attending the university. Texas A&M also has a recognized veterinarian program.

Texas A&M is a very tradition oriented school. We often joke that if it happens twice it becomes a tradition. The great thing about this is that it creates a close knit community with a sense of pride and belonging that is shared by everyone. Aggies stand behind their school and each other no matter what, and it is wonderful to know that there is always someone close by who is willing to help you reach your goals.

What I enjoy most about Texas A&M is that everyone has this sense of unity and pride. Becoming an Aggie means becoming part of a family, something bigger than yourself. I like how there are a lot of traditions and everyone follows them. Everyone greets eachother with a "Howdy!" so though it's a huge campus, it has a friendly, small town feel that makes you feel right at home. I believe this is what makes A&M unique and enjoyable, not to mention just what I needed to make me less nervous as a freshman.

Texas A&M University is unique because of their long standing traditions that bring the aggie community together. The university not only recognizes each individual but also values each persons opinion. The university also values and emphasizes that an aggies never lies , cheats, or steals in any way, and every student seems to follow suit.

At Texas A&M University, not only does the school provide excellent academic programs, it also gives you a sense of closure in such a friendly environment such as this one. Every individual on campus is open and friendly to each other never afraid to meet new people. We are one big family. The Aggie Family. Other schools, everybody keeps to themselves and their own lives and nobody cares for one another, but the environment here is completely different.

The atmosphere makes you feel as if you are in your home town. People are very friendly and outgoing and are always willing to give a hand. Instead of saying "hi" to just your friends, everyone on campus gives a smile and a pleaseant "Howdy" to their fellow students as they pass on campus. It really makes you feel welcome especially at such a large university.

A&M is a large school that feels much smaller than it is. It is full of traditions and spirit that makes it unique and creates a bond between all of the students that attend it.
