Texas A & M University-College Station Top Questions

The worst thing about Texas A&M was the overwhelming number of students. With a freshman class of over 14,000 students, one could definitely say he or she feels lost in the crowd. Sitting in a class of over 300 students, especially when one's entire high school consisted of only 200 students, can leave anyone with feelings of doubt. Doubt about how he or she could succeed surrounded by so many brilliant students, and doubt about how he or she as an individual could stand out and make a difference in a sea of faces.

After almost 3 years there, I still have nothing that I dislike about A&M. Except maybe the parking, but upperclassmen get the best parking spots so even then it's only horrible for a couple years.

I really don't think there is a bad thing about my school, at least for me. I love pretty much everything about it: the school spirit, the traditions, the dorms, the classes, the football games, the sense of community and family, the availability of jobs after graduation, the numerous extracurricular activities. Everything is pretty much up to my standards, and I love every part of it.

Close minded ness would be the worst thing about my university. Though they put forth efforts to make the school more diverse many people on campus are close minded to people, activities, religions and other things that are similar.

The liberal arts departments at A&M has been vastly reduced due to the financial difficulties meaning that the English faculty has been greatly reduced making those classes the hardest to get into now. This means English majors have a hard time getting into the courses they need just as much as non-majors and seeing as how English courses are a requirement for most if not all majors it is a terrible inconvenience.

The worst thing about Texas A&M is something that plagues every school, but is very pronounced at A&M. At any school which has a lot of school spirit, there are those who take it too far. A&M, unfortunately, has a plethora of students who will loudly and colorfully defend anything and everything about the school. Some get overly worked up and are apt to curse a blue streak at fans of other schools, start fights, and ignite flame wars on the internet. This is shameful to other Aggies.

Nothing. I love Aggieland!

This school has a strong military history (which is great) however that leads to a lot of students having very strong views about politics, religion, etc. The student body is overwhelmingly conservative, which can unfortunately cause some students to feel like they don't fit in.

The worst thing I would consider about TAMU is like any large school there are some classes you must take (core classes) that are 300-500 people in a lecture hall and therefore the teachers cant be as one on one with you.

One of the worst things here at TAMU is there seems to be a lot of racism. This is of course part of the "Bible Belt" community. However, in my expericence, my friends and I are treated at a different level than most students here at A&M are treated.
