At Texas A&M it is easy to learn as much as you wish. For those who need to absorb just a small amount at a time, less classes with study sessions put on by the Teacher Assistants (TAs) help. However, for those who are driven and wish to learn as much as possible, the honors program offers classes of small numbers where you can study in depth and have discussions with classmates and professors. Additionally, these classes are excellent to take because the majority of the professors have received a doctorates in their field and conducted research.
Do you enjoy the experience at your school?
College Station itself is an excellent city to live in. It combines a small town feel with all the big city convenience. From a mall to live entertainment, staying busy is not a problem. Also, because College Station is so centered around the University, the residents are willing to help with anything students need; hotels allow students to study in their lobby while providing milk and cookies, Texas A&M banners hang in all the stores and restaurants, and college student apartments and housing is readily available at a reasonable cost.
Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?
Texas A&M literally tries to get students everything possible for their tuition fees. Students have access to different student services like a writing center that will help with papers and research, to a testing center that will help you to study better and make learning easier, to an on campus health center, and even small things that make huge differences like 300 free prints a semester in the computer center and access to free programs at the recreation center.
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
Don't be afraid to ask questions. Be it in the classroom or out. In class, asking a question could be the difference between a B and an A. By asking questions on campus you will find that you discover groups and activities to be involved in much faster. The nice thing is, here, no one gives you looks for being curious.
Which types of students will excel at your college?
Texas A&M is an excellent university for those students who love or don't mind traditions. A&M is full of traditions from the campus grounds itself to football and even the student body corp. Even more so I think A&M is for students who don't feel comfortable attending a big city university and who want to feel like they are part of a family.
