Texas A & M University-College Station Top Questions

What kind of person should attend this school?

Debbie

Someone who takes their education seriously will do well at Texas A&M, but the campus environment is also very great for someone who is shy because everyone is so friendly and willing to help each other out.

Tiffany

Anyone who wants the big school resources without the big city distractions will find this school a perfect fit.

Candice

The school seems tailored for students who are conservative and mostly interested in agriculture, engineering, or business, with a strong interest in football and other sports. As someone who is quite liberal, interested in a liberal arts field such as psychology, and little interest in sports, perhaps there might have been better choices. However, even with my ideals and interests I was able to find my niche among other like-minded students. The school is very diverse but does not always encourage diversity, so it is an interesting balance. It carries a long history of tradition and togetherness.

Nicole

Any kind of student could fit in here at USM.

Paxton

Texas A&M University takes pride in our Aggie Honor Code: "An Aggie does not lie, cheat, steal, or tolerate those who do." An Aggie is a person who has strong morals and takes pride in those morals and the University itself. An Aggie is a proud student, and an Aggie is always willing to help another person. To be an Aggie, you must be honorable, caring, and proud.

Texas A&M is a place where people with integrity and determination have the opportunity to flourish. A&M is an opportunity for students to grow in an environment where honesty, discipline, and academic endurance are encouraged. Students who wish to succeed and have the endurance to continue to the end and strive to give his or her best performance. A&M is a place for the dedicated, motivated, and enthusiastic. To be an Aggie is to be a part of something bigger than just a school, it’s being a part of a family, learning and growing together.

Logan

Texas A&M University is a place for all types of people, regardless of race or background. The size of our university allows for a variety of cultures to blend together and learn from each other. There are a few requirements, however. You need to be a hardworking, dedicated and passionate person. While Texas A&M is fun and exciting, it is also a huge time commitment and can be difficult at times.

Gilberto

The type of person that fits into Texas A&M anyone who is conservative. People here are very rich in tradition and have a hard time with those who do not take in those traditions and norms. People at are school should be willing to constantly engage with others, after all, "Howdy" is the proper greeting of the day.

Jessica

If you want a pretty good work load and interactive hands-on experience, but don't want to be studying every minute of every day, then A&M is for you. Besides the academics, though, if you like to meet new people that you truly have things in common with you should come here. At smaller schools, you don't have as many people to choose from, so with 40,000 students here you'll end up liking the people you hang out with not just because you have to study with them for class.

Anna

Anyone that is friendly and welcoming would find that Texas A&M is the school for them. It's a great school where almost everyone gets along with everyone. People that are hard working and interested in learning are also advised to come to Aggieland. Honest people are also great people for Texas A&M considering they teach us that "Aggies Don't Lie Cheat or Steal, Nor Tolerate Those That do."

Nathanael

I would recommend that anybody wanting to feel apart of a family or "something bigger" attend A&M. Students that want to know alot of people and feel connected to them in various ways should consider it. A&M is dedicated in giving back to the community around it and has a devotion to helping those in need. Anyone wanting to have a variety of ways to help others will find great joy working alongside their Aggie family.

Tiffany

Texas A&M accepts any type of person. Whether they're funny, emotional, or courageous, that's what makes Texas A&M unique compared to other schools. They don't judge a person based on race, sex, sexuality, ethnicity because they want everyone to judge a person based on their personality rather than looks.

Amanda

For the most part, this school is full of conservative white people who are serious about their education but still know how to have fun. If any of those categories don't fit you, then this probably isn't the school for you.

Brian

The kind of person that should attend this school is someone who appreciates the complexiities of a technical world. He or she should have an appreciation for mathematics and science that involves liberal arts as well. This person should also appreciate a small town that has a lesser amount of entertainment venues. As a school with an almost over-whelming amount of on-campus activities, the lack of off campus opportunities are a non-issue. A person who loves a challenge and wants a great education that prepares one for life's future demands should surely attend Texas A&M.

If you are a boy, conservative and preferably white, love to drink, going to football games, spreading school spirit and going to work out at the gym. If you are a girl, conservative, preferably white, upbeat, spreading school spirit and jogging around campus. Frat/soro scene is big. If you like small towns and dont mind that there is only one mall, two movie theaters, this place is great for you. If you like theaters that play independent films or shopping or BIG CITYS and fashion and nice cars and rich hot people, this place is NOT FOR YOU.

I believe that any individual can find their own happiness at Texas A&M. We are very diverse as well as accepting! Everyone on campus is extremely friendly; even a simple "Howdy" from a stranger passing by on campus is enough to put a smile on anyone's face. A&M also offers such a large variety of majors, so in my opinion, everyone can find something that fits them.

Shaina

This school is idea for a person who sets their academics at a high priority, but who also enjoys having fun. School spirit is a big thing at Texas A&M; it could even be called an aggie culture. A person more prone to succeed at a school as big as Texas A&M would be a slightly extroverted one. It can be hard to be noticed on a campus that big with that many students.

Zachary

You should attend Texas A&M University if you want to have an all around great college experience. Texas A&M is strong in academics and rich in university traditions. We are a family and as a student you have that feeling of family while you are in school and when you graduate and you become a Former Student. As Former Aggies say, when you graduate from Texas A&M University you receive your diploma from a world class univeristy and you also leave with a network of Formers Students always there for you when you need.
