I have had a great experience at Texas A&M, and the school spirit grows more and more everyday. The people here are great and you couldn't find a student body with as much pride as they have here. Academics are good and they are very helpful with preparing you for the future.

I can't speak for other majors, but the Biomedical Sciences Department (the only major in the College of Veterinary Medicine) really is a great major for PreMed/PreDental students or those pursuing a career in the health/research areas. The coursework required in the first 2 years is mundane (biology, chemistry, etc...): you have to get all of your prerquisites out of the way before you get to take any really good classes like Anatomy (where you really get to do hands on dissection of real dogs in a real Veterinary/Medical environment) or Physiology, which has been my favorite class at A&M. This major, and this school WILL prepare you for professional school provided that you put the effort in. All too many students gripe about bad degrees/majors, but you have to take full advantage of your courses and put some effort in. I currently have a 4.0 GPA, but not because I'm a genius, but because I work hard at what I do and always study hard. Another thing about this school: students from large cities will inevitably find it "hick-like" or a "redneck" paradise, but students from small towns like myself see it in a much different light. Students in Ag majors will definitely have more "country" people in their classes, whereas in the Biomedical Sciences department, we have a preprofessional atmosphere (for the most part). I'm glad I came to Texas A&M; it has worked out well for me. Be sure actually visit any school before you decide to attend and NEVER NEVER NEVER NEVER EVER, just go by heresay: people who are jaded seem to give many schools like A&M a bad rep. I don't care where you go, but be sure to see if you fit in at the school you really decide to attend.

Attending A&M was what finally brought me out of my extreme shyness, and those four years were some of the best of my life! I had so many fun things to do, with so many nice people, that making friends was a given! It's SO wonderful to be a part of such a fabulous university! I don't understand how anyone can be an Aggie, but not participate in everything that brings out the Aggie spirit (i.e. Yell Practice, Muster, etc.). It's a blast!

I also really learned to study effectively at A&M. I graduated with honors, and went on to graduate with my second Bachelor's degree in nursing, with a 4.0 GPA.If you want to be a part of a really big, really fun, really educated family, then go to A&M! You won't regret it if you get involved!!!
