Texas A & M University-College Station Top Questions

Texas A & M University is a huge campus. With around 50,000 people at this university, it is extremely easy as a freshman to fade into the background in large lecture classes. As you progress in your major, the classes become more one-on-one and personal. Sometimes I feel that this system of teaching is backwards. As a freshman, you are adjusting to a very new, very different environment. I feel that the "basics" should be covered in smaller classrooms. Hopefully this would boost the success of college freshman.

The expense

The most frustrating thing about my school is the lack of professors that speak English.

There are not many things frustrating about Texas A&M, but if I have to select one, I would have to say that there are too many extracurricular activities to choose from! This can lead an already confused freshman down the wrong path and drastically cut into study time. Activities and clubs are fun but please be prudent and choose only one or two lest you spread yourself too thin and find that you have too little time to study because of your committments to a campus organization.

The most frustrating thing about Texas A&M is the construction on campus. Although it has been proven that Texas A&M is an extremely beautiful campus, it is hard to invision that because the construction blocks us from seeing Texas A&M 's true beauty. Other than that, Texas A&M is a great place to attend school.

The only drawback is TAMU is a huge campus and if you have back to back classes across campus, it is a struggle to get to class on-time.

Its a fairly large campus and since I am an Agricultural major my classes are all on the west side of campus, while the buses and dorms are on the main campus to the East and North. So its a bit of a walk. Also in some of the core classes that everyone has to take there are a lot of students, so classes are quite large.

There are some people at this school who don't take pride in being an Aggie. This is one of the proudest Universities in the South, and those who are not proud, are not living the Aggie way. There is a sea of maroon on game days here in College Station, and you will find some students mocking the football team and fans and there are students who do not follow the Honor Code. The most frustrating part about this school is not a part of the school by any means, but those who are here and don't care.

The most frustrating part of Texas A&M is that the competition can be brutal at times. Sometimes you have to compete with the best minds in the country. But, this pushes you to be a better student and person.

The most frustrating thing about Texas A&M University would have to be how hard it is study with all of these awesome people here. Seriously, though, the hardest part is being about two hours away from any major city. If you grew up in a big metropolitan city like me, then you won't be used to the surroundings. But at least it is a beautiful drive up coming through Lost Pines and we still have public transportation here.
