A&M first and foremost , is a family. The type of person who should attend here is someone who is not intimidated by that. Someone who is open and eager to meet new people and whose not uncomfrotable with being part of something huge and faceless. Someone friendly and ready to engage with others as well as contributing to the aggie tradition of service. It's not a place to hide behind your books, though studying is important its a place for the leaders and the bold, and hose who arent as much so, to come into their own right.

Jenny

From what I have experienced so far, the school is very expansive regarding the number of students, type of education, and organizations that you can get involved in. A&M is a very large public school, but it knows how to welcome complete strangers into its "Aggie family", so if you want wide/varied options, but still want that small, hometown feeling, this is the place for you. A&M is pretty conservative when it comes to its traditions/military background, so if you want a college with a rich and respectable history, A&M is definetely for you!

The school has a very good business and engineering program, but all of the other majors are also well represented in the student body. There are tons of extracurricular activities, and students who want to be involved in everything have the chance to do that.

Katherine

You definitely need to be outgoing to go to a school this large. With just over 50,000 students enrolled, it is very easy to get lost in the crowd if you are shy. Talk to people in you classes the first day, as they will become your study buddies and friends. Join an organization that interests you. You will meet tons of new people who all share your passion for that activity. And last but not least, smile and say "Howdy" when you are walking around campus. Its a no-fail way to meet new people.

There are groups for everyone here, but an outgoing person who loves tradition is someone who would enjoy Texas A&M. Anybody who fits into that realm can find a place here.

Anyone who has a love and appreciation for tradition belongs at Texas A&M. It also is a great place for anyone who enjoys a thoroughly friendly environment, as our campus is considered by many to be one of the most welcoming in the country. A&M also is a great place for anyone who views themselves as being more conservative, or supportive of the military.

Karla

To be successful at Texas A&M University, a student must be responsible, diligent, and hard working. The classes, especially if you are going into a science or math field, are tough. One must be dedicated to their school work 24 hours a day. A student has to learn how to learn in the most efficient way to complete as much work as possible. Texas A&M does not provide easy rides for students. If a student cannot handle the work, they will fail. It is best to plan ahead and always stay ahead- nothing is ever easy here.

Gabriella

While A&M is accepting of everyone, the typical student is a Caucasian, Christian, middle-class student. That's nto to say that other's aren't welcome though! I think the environment is also more accepting than others because only around 10{4a082faed443b016e84c6ea63012b481c58f64867aa2dc62fff66e22ad7dff6c} of our campus is Greek, and there are over 800 other student organizations to get involved in.

Kathryn

Because the University is so large, any person can find their niche no matter how small or diverse. I am a perfect example of someone who does not necessarily conform to the majority of students here- my politics and lifestyle are perhaps more liberal than my more conservative peers- and yet I have found organizations in which I can thrive and my voice can be heard. I would encourage anyone with an opinion, a heart for humanity, and a commitment to excellence to come to this University and shake things up for the better.

Alayna

People who enjoy a rich school tradition, and who like to become close to former, current, and future students by the simple word "howdy." People who want a great education and to have fun while doing so. People should go here if they like to make new friends, have great professors, and who want a college that is big, but "not too big."

Noah

A person who is well motivated and actually wants to attend college. It's a large school and you can get caught up in all the partying so if you're not disciplined then you will fail out very easily. College is about knowing when to have fun, but you also have to know when it's time to get your work done.

Chaney

Texas A&M University is known for the "Aggie Code of Honor." An Aggie does not lie, cheat, or steal; nor tolerate those who do. All Aggies uphold this code, and it is written in many places around campus to remind us. A&M is very welcoming to everyone, and as long as you uphold this code, you can succeed at Texas A&M. Aggies are also very proud of their school. I feel that our strong alumnae is most willing to offer a network to students and to give back to the school.

alan

Someone who is highly motivated. It is not an easy school but one where you are expected to study a lot. It is a conservitave school where high values and ethics are taught. You are expected to not steal, lie or cheat. Not that these do not happen some but if you are a person who has a problem with any of these, it might be better to go somewhere else.

If you have high school spirit and have an outgoing personality then this is the college for you! Sure, you will have time to study and go out with your friends. You dont have to worry about working with study buddies for the whole day and not get a single breath of fresh air. Strive to get out of your own social bubble and make new friends because they will help you in the long run whether for homework, emotional breakdowns, or just to say a friendly "Hi" to brighten up your day.

The type of person who should attend texas A&M University is anyone who has the drive and willingness to put forth the effort to learn, work hard and who has the desire to be taught. Also someone who is looking to major in business, or the mathmatical field or even arts. I believe if you are willing to learn and work hard you are the kind of person to attend Texas A&M University.

Patrick

The school is leaning more towards diversity than even before. There is a state and national image towards A&M that is false; we are not a school of cowboys and hicks. In a school this size, there are all sorts of groups and types of people; there is an active GLBT on campus, and all different kinds of organizations. There is a place for any kind of person in Aggieland, but more and more the type of person is leaning towards one who is open minded enough to atleast leave others alone.
