The best part about Texas A&M would have to be the traditions. This school opened in 1876 and there are activities students engage in to this very day. That is most apparent in the Corps of Cadets. They work to preserve these traditions and are known as "The Keepers of the Spirit." Within the Corps, cadets are taught valuable leadership skills which benefit them in all aspects of life. They are given the tools necessary to succeed.

Texas A&M University more than anything is a family. Once you're an Aggie you will always be an Aggie and that's absolutely the best characteristic of my school. Unlike other universities of comparable size, here no student is ever forgotten. At A&M it doesn't matter if you pass away your first month of attendance or ninety years later, we will honor and recognize you individually through Silver Taps or Aggie Muster. Silver Taps is a hauntingly beautiful tradition where Aggies gather the first Tuesday of every month to recognize current students whose lives have ended.

I think the best thing about Texas A&M is that we are so dedicated in all that we do. We are dedicated to helping and encouraging each other. We are dedicated to our academic career so that we may succeed in the future. We are dedicated to improving our campus in every way possible.

Despite the stress college life puts you in, it is also enjoyable at the same time. College life can be a blast by not only studying without being told to, but you also get the freedom you've always wanted in ages. Responsibility is a vital piece to complete my college life, and college would be considered as a paradise of opportunity. I made new friends and we help each other for studying. College is definitely a place to go.

The Aggie code of honor - "An Aggie does not lie, cheat, or steal or tolorate those who do" - sums up nicely what it means to be an Aggie. It is something to be proud of and something to display loud and proud. It is one of the best things about attending Texas A&M University because the people are brilliant and are some of the friendliest. From saying "Howdy" to doing your classes wildcat everytime your graduation year is mentioned the community at my school is by far the best you can find.

Being in the Corps of Cadets and being able to uphold all the wonderful traditions of Texas A&M is one of the best desicions I've made! The Corps is known and respected all over campus for our leadership and respect for Texas A&M. Walking around greeting people saying howdy while in uniform seems to make other peoples day better and even my own. Commisioning in the Air Force has been my lifelong goal and Texas A&M and the Corps are helping me in many ways to achieve this aspiration!

The "aggie network" is the schools strong alumni system. Most people are very proud to have attended the university and love to help others out who did as well.
