Texas A & M University-College Station Top Questions

Because our campus is so friendly and accomodating to all visitors and guests, I really do not think anyone would not get along here. The school is deemed as one of the most conservative schools in Texas, but that should not be a deciding factor when students are thinking about his/her future college. There are many different organizations on campus, so it is almost absolute that any student, no matter his/her views, can find others who have the same views as he/she. Any student would be able to find his/her own niche.

The kind of person who shouldn't attend this school is someone is not independent. It is a small town, although it has everything to do. You can feel alone and homesick often if you are not an independent person. Also, a person who does not like to be pushed should not attend this school. This school is very competitive, so if you do not have self-motivation, do not come.

People who wouldn’t like Texas A&M are those people who would afraid of doing hard work for school. People who are content with second-best drop out. Every person that I met in my first semester had a plan, and bristled with the confidence and energy needed to fulfill their goal. People without dreams just would not fit in.

One that can not cope with weather changes. One day it can be sunny, then next day it can be freezing, then rainy. The weather is extremely unpredictable. Also those kinds of persons that pick school based on the look of the campus can be somewhat disappointed.

If you're not focused academically, you'll strugle at this institution. There are many opportunities to spend time doing other activities, and you can get overwhelmed by the temptation. Also, there are certain student organizations that have yet to evolve to include tolerance of different races and genders. Often, this dosen't cause a problem. None the less, thoroughly research any organization before you join.

If someone wanted a more urban environment or does not like large class sizes, especially in general education classes, they could be turned off by TAMU.

Attending A&M is not easy. You must be commited to your degree. You will face many tough challenges, especially if you are entering into a science, technology, engineering, or math centric field.

Somebody who likes to be lazy would not do well at Texas A&M University because there is a lot of work involved in each class. The work is not hard, but it is time consuming. You have to be able to balance each class with the amount of time in a day.

A person that isn't open to meeting new people and stepping outside of their comfort zone. A person that tends to have a introverted character might not be suitable for this campus. In order to experience all that Texas A&M Universtivy has to offer, students need to be willing to get involved as much as possible.

Someone who is not socially outgoing or has little school spirit should not be attending Texas A&M. At Texas A&M, studying is not everything and partying is not everything either. You need a good balance of both to succeed. If you avoid making new friends or gatherings, then you are what we call a 2 percenter. Being a student and being a sociable friend is what an Aggie is all about. Also, an Aggie does not lie, cheat, or steal, nor tolerate those who do! and we stand by that message as the Aggie family.
