The professors at Texas A&M are well prepared and does a good job at covering all of the material at a timely pace. Some post the powerpoint slides the day before so that you can have them in class and take notes on stuff he talks about. They have their office hours readily available and even have SI sessions which is basically private tutoring for free.
Do you enjoy the experience at your school?
Honestly I didn't think going to school would be this good. The environment is perfect for students to learn and everyone respects one another and is treated like an adult. Everyone is really nice and help is always available. If you go to any games whether they win or lose it's an enjoyable experience being together with your fellow Aggies and supporting your school.
Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?
Texas A&M offers aid for those in need and even if you're not poor, if you apply early you can still get some kind of aid from the school. The catch here is to fill out the FAFSA as soon as your parents do their tax form and get it in before the due date. If it's an emergency you can give the financial aid office a call and they'll most likely find some way to help you. They are very helpful people and will make sure to tell you everything you need to know in great detail.
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
I strongly advise that you do the basic courses in community colleges and not at the University. It's alot more work and studying you have to do and just added stress you have to go through when you're trying to study for the more difficult courses such as Calculus or Physics. If you're one of those kids that are lazy and don't like to study, you're in for a big wake up call your first year of college. You'll realize that you have to change your study habits if you want to pass as the workload in college is overwhelming sometimes. My biggest advice would be to not fall behind and always study everyday. Even if it's only for 30 minutes or else you're going to be cramming it all the night before and I guarantee that you won't be able to cover everything. Oh, and don't study in your dorm or your apartment. Go to the library where it's quiet and in an environment where everyone else is working. If you're at home, there are so many things to distract you so doing it in the library will help prevent alot of the distractions. Hope this helped!
Which types of students will excel at your college?
Texas A&M is ranked pretty high up in the nation for engineering majors and have a good program for that so if you're interested in the engineering field this is definitely a school you need to attend. Also, if you're really into school spirit and love football then this school is a must because it's everywhere during football season.
