The worst thing about this school is that even though it makes minimal attempts to increase diversity, there is no increase.

transportation service in dealing with parking violations and food services in dealings with meal "steal" plans. And the shape of some of our older building on campus. We need some major renovations to various buildings on campus

There is a kind of overlying general conservative attitude at this school, which at times may make it seem to liberals that they cannot freely express their opinions publicly. There is also a lack of students of differing opinions that come to this school. There are VERY rare cases of disrespectful expressions of opinions on a certain issue that have at times been seen as offensive. But most of the time there is a general atmosphere of respect , and those who do not participate in it are discouraged from doing so by the other students.

The extreme conservatism. I feel there is sometimes closem-mindedness and wish people were more open to a large variety of views.

The amount of workload given in classes in conjunction with the amount of time available to complete it and be involved witht the world outside the library.

There is pretty low tolerance for differences in religion, political views, etc as compared to the majority.

There are two things at Texas A&M University that needs improvement one is educational based and the other is social based. The educational based item is I am a Recreational, Parks and Tourism Science Major emphising in Event Coordinating/Planning which is based on the Tourism side of my major. However, there are more courses in Recreation Parks side of the major than Tourism , do not get me wrong there are excellent courses relating to tourism and event programming and implementing but not enough. The social based issue is more activities for Non-Traditional Students, students over 30.

There is an extreme lack of diversity amon the general student population. This applies to political views, race, and socioeconomic status. The overwhelming majority of students are white republican protestants from an upper middle class family in the suburbs. There are not even a lot of students from out of state. The only place where diversity exists is within the athletic department which is almost another school in and of itself. Fortunately I was a student athlete so I was exposed to students of different races, beliefs, and backgrounds.

There really is not anything about Texas A&M University that I could pinpoint as the worst.
