Major: Civil Engineering (This Major's Salary over time)
I attended A&M this past year and was so excited to attend since my dad went and graduate from A&M. I grew up an Aggie and found of the highest honor that I got into all the school I wanted too, but decided to go to A&M. The other schools are UT, SMU, BAylor, TTU,and TCU.

As soon as I got on campus I hated it because my roomates were very uptight, and closeminded! I shrug it off, and went on about my year, but I found out that A&M was full of these jokers and the corps were no better. I once got into a fight with a corps guy because I didnt say howdy and another time because I didnt get out of his way when walking. WOW, this place is not for everyone, but it is for the hard core christian based, WHITE, close minded people.

My dad is white, and my mom was hispanic, but I looked more like my mom so I had a hard time making friends off the bat, and many times others didnt bother to talk to me in class or when I tried making friends. I tried joining a fraternity as my dad was a SigEp at A&M and during rush none of them, and i mean non of them even tried to talk to me or get to know me since I looked more hispanic, but with a white name. Even though my dad was a major donor to the fraternity they still didnt offer a bid. This was just some of the things I faced at A&M, and there is no

Diversity, and if there is its hard to find.

The biggest common joke at A&M amoung students is if you see a pocket of black folks they are athletes only or thugs.

Football games were fun if you had friends go with you, and I had only a few for some reason even though I strived to make friends all the time. At games its fun if your left alone, but everyone talks trash to you if you dont take off your hat when we are doing yells, and many times I just ignored them, but alot of the student would talk trash throughout the game and calling me wet back or telling me to go back to mexico. After that I didnt really go to games any more.

I needed to get out, and after one year i decided to transfer. I didnt like UT because of its campus in a big city, so I decided to transfer into Texas Tech. Its a great place, and although not much diversity is here either no one is racist, and everyone is friendly. My major is very rewarding and challenging! My dad didnt like it at first, but knew why I transfered and knows that I am very happy now, and has since converted to wearing his shirts that reads

my son and money go to Texas Tech

Campus is huge, beautiful, the finest women you will ever see, and everyone talks to everyone it seems. The west texas friendliness cant be compared. I was afarid of all the stereotypes A&M would say about Tech and lubbock, but I would recommend anyone reading this to just take a visit and you will see the best kept secret in TEXAS!!!! Only reason student here ever talk about A&M is when A&M says untrue things about this campus and its academics. I can tell you right now, that you will be challenged and taught here just as good as at UT or A&M.

I loved my choice to attend Tech, and all the things A&M ramble about are simply not true. I cant explain it, but its a great feeling being around a diverse place with no close minded people, and have great athletics!

I would not recommend A&M to anyone, and right now I have my younger brother ready to transfer out of A&M himself because he is facing all the things I talked about.

I can go on and on here, but please dont go to that brainwashing university. Go is your all white, close minded, and love BUSH.

commentIt's interesting to read the negative comments here from those who transferred to TT, UT, or TCU for various reasons, and then to go and review the negative comments for those schools. They are near carbon copies. It is interesting to note that as of today (3/21/13), the %age of students who would NOT return to the school is as follows:

TAMU: 23.2
UT: 30.2
TT: 31.0
TCU: 36.5

responseThank you for the review. I'm glad that you are having a much better time at Tech, but there can be a racist person anywhere even if they don't blurt out a clearly racist comment. I don't care all that much about "diversity" but how people behave…no matter the color or county. Good or disrespectful people can be of any color. Anyway, thanks again and please remember that although some people are very cliquey and care about color not everyone is that way. I wish that you have discussed the academics more (fairness in grading, workload, etc.) but you still mentioned important information. Take care.
