There are some people that think that Texas A&M is the best place next to heaven, and then there are the few (like myself) who think that it is closer to hell on earth. I've never met a bunch of more closeminded, petty, tradition-happy bunch of people in all my life. The students here are VERY conservative—which means very little tolerance for non bible-thumping Christian types (i'm Catholic and even *I* don't feel like I fit in), homosexuals, liberal political views, etc.

And besides that, College Station has got to be the most dull city on earth. I lived here as a regular "citizen" before becoming a student, and it is such an isolated and lonely place to be. There's very little in the way of cultural offerings. The town centers around the university, so if you're not into Aggie things, you might as well be dead.

I have to say that i'm not a native Texan, so there's a lot about this state that i just don't "get"—Texas A&M University is definitely the biggest thing i don't get, however.
