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.
