Forward me!

Pros: The university is very rich, full of resources and will not let anything lacking for the student that knows where to ask. Unless it is something that cannot be bought, like everyday information. Cons: College Station is a difficult place to live in for a foreigner. The clerks that should provide information to get you familiar with the place are too much concerned about their own lives to try to know anything like how the buses work. In short, the entertainment is really difficult to find, the heat s*cks from mid Spring to late Fall (!), so there is no escape for those who don't drive, and the only bus out of town leaves from the neighboring city, once a day, and takes 5 hours to get to Austin. Although it is possible to move around by bike, at some point one gets tired of buying groceries that way. The city is horizontal so unless you live really close to campus, bikes are not really a good option. The students are friendly, but there is no denying, this is a redneck land and the minute you put your feet out of the campus, you are a foreigner and will be treated as such. Despite the university's strong efforts to promote diversity, still it is like living in the Melrose sitcom. There is even a place called Melrose. The city is not built for those who need a little more urban lifestyle. The cultural life is close to zero. It is so boring that even undergrads work on Sundays. Jan 27 2009 Other

I came from a big city and went to A&M for my undergraduate degree. After graduating I moved back to the big city and ended up missing College Station and moved back to go to graduate school. I love the city and how it only takes you about 10 minutes to drive anywhere. The University has made great accomplishments in diversity. The student population is becoming more diverse every year. I have made many white and non white friends during my time here. If you are into the traditions here have fun and do as many or as few as you want. I know plenty of people who like to do some but aren't super hardcore and everyone gets along fine...just keep an open mind. The secret to succeeding in classes is to get to know your professors. Introduce yourself the first day, sit in front, ask questions and visit your professor during office hours. They'll get to know you and realize that you are making an effort in their class. Also try the numerous clubs, groups and activities that the University has to offer. You'll get to meet a lot of people and make some friends who you will keep in touch with the rest of your life. Try out as many as you can at first and then stick with the couple your really like. Sports Clubs, for example, is a great place to keep in shape, learn a new sport or continue with one you've done before. Most are competitive but also have members that just do it for fun and for the camaraderie. I think over all our experience will be what you make of it. Jul 19 2008 Education

In overall it's ok, the problem is that it's only ok... Mar 30 2008 Electrical Engineering

It's a huge university in a small town, if you want to study science, this is a perfect place for you. But, be prepared in advance for the boring life here. Nov 04 2007 Kinesiology

I did my masters from Texas A&M. The biggest positive is the quality of faculty and their willingness to help the students with their questions. The other positives are the quality of other facilities like rec center, arts and crafts studio. I have gone back to school after working for a few years and this school is not Texas A&M. And I appreciate the positives of Texas A&M even more now. Another thing about Texas A&M that I appreciate now is the dedication and ethics of my fellow students at Texas A&M, which is unfortunately lacking in the school I am currently attending.

Do not pay any attention if you ever hear about racism or ethnic segregation in this university. This university is all about its traditions, and it sticks to it, but it does not mean that international students are excluded. There are people from all over the world here, and the university has the objective to increase it even more in the next years. Research funding is huge for Petroleum Engineering, as this is one of the best universities for this career, thanks to this you can get your tuitions paid and live decently Jun 28 2007 Other

Grading steps are too wide, you either get an A(4) or B(3) This makes things bad when you are too close to an A yet not having the cutoff.. Mar 29 2004 Mechanical Engineering Solid particle transport behavior and the effect of aerosol mass loadi

TAMU (Aggies) are a very proud bunch and take work and play seriously. Is a larger school yet has a small town environment and a very stong identity. At the time I went to school, it was the most cost effective yet one of the most resourceful state school in Texas!. I love TAMU Aug 08 2003 Chemistry Polymer-Bound Homogeneous Catalysis
