Sort By: [Date] [Major] [Rating] Communications  Major Salary, Salary Trend, Satisfaction, Unemployment Bright I went to a small private school from k-12th grade, where the teachers were engaging and cared about each student and I was evaluated on my actual knowledge of the material, not what I had memorized and filled in on a scantron. Texas A&M is pretty much the opposite, with scantrons and monotony abound. The majority of my classes have consisted of a professor reading directly off powerpoint slides (which are sometimes provided) for an hour and a half, and three scantron tests throughout the semester. Talk about engaging. Seeing as though I know how to read, I usually didn't go to class and taught it to myself on my own time, and usually made A's or B's on tests. Many times however, professors will ask questions such as "On this day, I talked about my dog. What was his name?" as though I came to college to learn about my professor's dog. I feel like I have wasted 3 years of my life and thousands of dollars because I'd rather learn and know about the material than memorize notes and fill in scantrons, but that's just me. Maybe I missed something important though, because a lot of people seem to like it a WHOLE WHOLE lot, many of them because everyone from their great-grandfather to their brother went here. The majority of students are very closed-minded, conservative, Christian, and all somewhat eerily look alike and dress the same. The town isn't much better. I've never encountered a place so...uninspiring, charmless, and stale. I've tried for 3 years to like it but I've never been so bored in my life, and no longer being able to stand it, I'm withdrawing for semester and finishing my degree elsewhere. But hey, if you love tradition and uniformity, if you're an auditory learner and a good memorizer, and if you love George W. Bush and Jesus so much so that you MUST let everybody know, then Texas A&M University is the place for you. Perceived Campus Safety: A-, Education Quality: F Have a Question?

It seems like there is a tradition for everything, and like two of them are really interesting. We can't beat anyone in football either. I have made some good friends but overall this place is by far the worst of the big 12schools i visited after applying to a&m. Scholastic Success: B+, Collaboration/Competitive: D- Have a Question?

I was born in a small town but raised in a large one. I graduated from a very academically stimulating high school. I am an open person when it comes to new people and ideas. I am no longer at this school, but I felt compelled to write this review in hopes helping potential students have a better insight of what this school is really like. I have broken this review into five categories: how to survive at A&M, football, peers, academics, and College Station. Don’t get me wrong, Texas A&M is a great school, but its not for everyone. You will only survive in this school if you meet the following requirements: staunch Christian, close minded, vote republican, and most importantly... WHITE. The games were amazing and fun. As a football fanatic, the comradely and traditions were fun and enjoyable. If you do plan on attending A&M, the games are a plus! The students at A&M, some are extremely approachable and friendly, but majority follow and conform to rigid cliques. Most seem to have followed there friends from high school into college and keep to that circle. I even got into an argument with someone when they got mad at me for saying hello instead of howdy. The academics at A&M are sub-par. The lower level classes I thought were way too easy; it was basically high school in review. Some of the upper level classes did challenge you, not because of the analytics involved, but more because the professors were horrible. College Station is extremely boring! I came from a big city and transitioning to a dainty city was too much work. They really do cow tipping here for fun…… Like I said earlier, I am no longer at A&M, I have transferred to UH. My experience with UH so far is enjoyable. Perceived Campus Safety: A-, Surrounding City: D Have a Question? Your Response/Question:     To be informed when someone replies to your comment.
