We are the Home of the Fightin' Texas Aggie 12th Man! Whoop! A&M is the friendliest college campus and everyone is a part of the Aggie family. There are hundreds of traditions which make A&M the greatest university in the world.

1) Texas A&M is a cult 2) only white, country folks attend A&M 3) A&M is extremely hard 4) A&M students and faculty are rude/hard to work with

Katelyn

People LOVE to joke that we are a cult school with crazy traditions. But if you don't go to A&M you just don't understand all the fun and school spirit that goes along with all those "crazy" traditions. It's actually a lot of fun! And a lot of those traditions are really meaningful... ask anyone about Muster and then you'll understand.

Eric

We're a bunch of redkneck pickup driving hicks.

Katie

1)That everyone who goes to A&M wants to be a farmer, 2)that we're racist, 3)that we're drunk all the time, and 4)that we're brainwashed or A&M is a cult.

Megan

Most people say we are more conservative than other college campuses.

The most common stereotype is that we are all redneck hicks that just came off the farm to learn how to be a farmer.

We are all farming majors. We're dumb. All we care about is Agriculture.

The main stereotypes are that all Aggies are closed-minded, extremely conservative, white, Southern Baptist farmers.

hard workers, like family.

ross

we all are hicks, we are all ag majors, we will always be second to t.u., some how tech students think their school is of equal educational value (it isn't tech is for dumbasses who couldn't get into a decent school, so it was either tech or texas state), we are the most mediocre football team (not a stereotype)

Julianne

we fuck sheep, we are all hicks, we are uneducated, we are ultra conservative, we are all white middle class christians

Brett

They are conservative students who ride horses to class and all go to the military because they are all in the Corps

Melissa

People think that everything us about the traditions and if it isn't one that doing something automatically makes it a tradition. I think another of the stereotypes is that we have a herd mentality. That everyone does everything that everyone else does. That no one can think for themselves that we do what we're told and follow all the rules. Another is that everyone that goes to A&M is into football, agriculture and is very conservative in their political views.

Hannah

People tend to think TAMU is a rural school full of rednecks and cowboys. We are a mostly white school so there are questions about the students being racist, prejudice, and discriminatory.

Katelyn

All TAMU students are White. All TAMU studentes are hicks. All TAMU students are strictly conservative. All TAMU studets are legacies. TAMU is centered around its "Aggie Spirit".

Jesse

Several stereotypes are that we are all back-woods country folk, military- oriented, or just lazy

Parker

That if you go to TAMU, you are just a farmer. The school cares about tradition and nothing else.

Charlie

everyone is lacking common sense or dumb, you know about the aggie jokes, right?

Rebecca

I think some of the sterotypes of students who attend are generally white students who are interested in agriculture. This university is known for being "farmers."
