I can honestly say that in just one year at A&M i have learned so much. I studied more in one semester than i did in all of high school together. But Because you have more freedom here and are able to do things the way you want to and are able to manage your own time, you not only learn about academics but you also learn about other things that prove valuable later in life.
Do you enjoy the experience at your school?
I won't lie, at the beginning i strongly despised A&M. I am a city slicker, politically liberal, and am very go green and A&M wasn't exactly the school that fit my personality best. But i started to get involved. There are so many organizations that you can join basically anything. I ended up joining a freshman leadership organization and have met so many people that are just like me. It proved that there were other people in the same boat that i was in. Now i have made friends that i know will last a lifetime and wouldnt change schools for any reason. It might take time to find where you belong and fit in, but with so many organizations available you are sure to fit in somewhere.
Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?
A&M is one of the cheapest schools in the country, but the education you recieve is superb. A&M is continually been rated the best school for payback in future slaries for what it costs to attend. A&M also offers many scholarships for its students. I personally think A&M is the best value out there and there are the stats to back up my opinion.
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
The best tips i can give to prospective students are to go where your heart wants you to go to school. Because if its what you want, then you will succeed at it. Also apply for financial aid in high school. There are so many more available scholarships in High school than when you are in college, so take advantage of it. And Last but not least, once you get into your school, get involved. You will meet so many different people with different backgrounds and people with similar goals and interests. It sounds so cliche, but it truly is very vital to enjoying college.
Which types of students will excel at your college?
There is no certain type of student that fits A&M. A&M accepts everyone for who they are and actually encourage differences in people. I am a testimony to that because i do not fit into the white, conservative, Country stereotype that A&M has. No Matter what you stand for and what you like to do, you can and will find people just like you to fit in with.
