Texas A&M University-College Station

Pros: Camaraderie extends LONG past graduation, very active student body
Cons: Size of student body (44,026 enrolled in Fall 2000) too large for some

To many outsiders, it may seem like a cult. Students roam around campus "Howdy"-ing each other, sports fans "hump it" at collegiate games because it makes them yell louder, and at the slightest thing that an Aggie deems favorable, they Whoop. What's up...

Pros: Grand array of classes offered.
Cons: None

Texas A&M in College Station, Texas is a land, sea and space-grant. The university is centrally located from the four largest cities in Texas. They are Houston, Dallas and San Antonio. The University is also located near the state capital of Austin....

Pros: Tons of fun, many sports to choose from
Cons: Sports aren't for everyone

Intramurals at A&M are so much fun because anyone can get a team together. For many of the sports (softball isn't really one of them), you don't even need that many people. Just get a few friends to agree to play each week and you have a team.

Pros: Lots of places to eat.
Cons: Low quality, High price, Bad service, and many, many more...

I love A&M. I think that it's the greatest place on the planet. I consider it a modern day Promised Land. HOWEVER, the Promised Land of old contained good and plentiful food. Aggieland does not. I will try to be fair to the varied dining...

Pros: Low Cost Quality Education
Cons: Nazi-like environment

Yes, this is the school that burns hundreds of trees (logs really) every year in a drunken ritual immediately before their football game with The University of Texas (a.k.a. the real UT, sorry Tennessee).

Texas A&M offers one of the best...

Pros: Incredible School Spirit, Low Tuition
Cons: Huge Size, No Diversity

In Texas, most students consider (at least once) attending Texas A&M. And why not? Texas A&M offers the epitome of the college experience for most students. While A&M didn't appeal to me in this way, I would have to recommend it to any high school...

Pros: Amazingly friendly student body
Cons: None

As the wife of a student at Texas A & M University, I interact with the campus quite often. And all I have to say after the recent bonfire tragedy, it that this school is amazing!

There is a definant bond on this campus, and I...

Pros: Excellent education and completely unique experience
Cons: You have to put up with Longhorns

Trying to write a comprehensive review of any college under one simple topic like “School Overall” is a bit difficult. To do it for Texas A&M is near impossible. But hey, I always liked a challenge. I am going to briefly write about as many...

Pros: Nuclear Engineering
Cons: Everything else

Texas A&M is ranked as one of the best schools for engineering by several magazine, but I'm still trying to understand why. Even though they claim that engineering is a four year program, it would be next to impossible to actually follow the...

Pros: Great school
Cons: little town

I love this place!!! I couldn't imagine going to a campus that isn't as friendly as the one at Texas A&M. There is a tremendous sense of family that was especially seen during the bonfire tragedy. The student body came together like you wouldn't...

Pros: Beautiful campus; Friendly; Great academics and student life
Cons: A large campus

Texas A&M University is one of the friendliest universities that I have ever visited in my quest to find a good school that I would like to attend. In searching for a good school, I was looking for a nice campus, a friendly atmosphere, and a well...

Pros: Living on campus is great and close to everything
Cons: There is only a limited amount of space

Living on campus at Texas A&M University is probably the best thing to do as a freshman. When you first start out and don't know anyone all you have to do is usually walk out your door at go meet one of the people living on your floor. Another nice...

Pros: Variety of classes
Cons: Everything else

Admission

First, to truly experience Aggieland, you really must be a student, and to become a student you must be admitted. If you went to a Texas high school and have decent SAT scores this shouldn't be to difficult. If you're grades were...

Pros: Quality Academics, Friendly Atmosphere
Cons: Large school

I transferred to A&M after my junior year, so maybe I have a bit of a unique perspective on the "Aggie" experience. Before making the wise decision to come to A&M, I spent one year at Mary Washington College and two at Indiana...

Pros: research opportunities
Cons: teaching is distant second to research

My experience here is strictly as a doctoral student in toxicology; my undergrad degree is from Texas Tech (read my review there). I strongly suggest prospective undergrads to consider what they want out of their college experience. A&M has a huge...
