REVIEWS
Read What Students Are SayingThe classes here are really small which is great for me because I grew up in a small town. However, there are a lot of students that go here are from Dallas Texas. Big or small if you get involved it never gets boring.
Brooklyne from Commerce, TX
Attending TAMU-Commerce, has taught me how to be more responsible for me. It's been a challenge for others, from what I've noticed. However, staying on task and completing all of my assignments and having the turned in before the due date has kept me more accomplished that I imagined that I would have been before.
KaDetria from Dallas, TX
I am currently looking into the Honors College at Texas A&M Commerce. Students are required to complete 21 hours of honors classes by the time they graduate, and complete an honors thesis on any subject they choose by their senior year. All in all, education will be eminent.
Claudia from Howe, TX
As a member of the honors program here at Texas A&M, I have been in very challenging courses that have taught me well in the areas of study I need. The professors on campus are second to none and they are always willing to help.
Jose from Sulphur Springs, TX
I have learned more than I ever imagined while I've been here. Personally, I believe the history and political science professors are outstanding.
Justin from Saginaw, TX
The classes here aren't bad at all, it just depends on the teacher. Most students don't seem to have much of an issue getting through the majority of their classes.
Angelia Collins from Dallas, TX
This school is amazing! The staff is very friendly and shows genuine compassion and concern for the students. My first initial visit to the campus and I knew this was the place I would pursue my college education at.
Turner from Richardson, TX
This is an affordable university with a great atmosphere. I would suggest Texas A&M-Commerce to anyone looking for an affordable, well-rounded college. The professors and staff are very friendly and love to work with the students.
TAMUC Student
Very good school, all professors wish to help you succeed. It is a very small town with mostly commuters however everyone that lives on campus is very pleasant to be with. Is a little frightening to be outside alone at night.
Emily from Commerce, TX
The University is so small, however because of that it's so comfortable. Everyone is just so friendly and the school itself is quite precious. Being that it's an official branch of the Texas A&M family, the academics are amazing as well.
