Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

Most students either love or hate A&M, and those who hate it usually transfer out their first year. A&M offers an incredible educational and life experience that most students thoroughly enjoy. If you have a problem with life at A&M, it’s most likely because you haven’t found a niche and you still feel lost in the crowd. At a school this big, it’s not hard to feel as though you’ve vanished. It can be difficult to find people with common interests that you really click with, but if you get involved in student organizations and your classes, you’ll figure it out. It can be intimidating at first, but don’t give up. Going away to college is a big change, and it can take a while to get adjusted and find your place, no matter what kind of person you are.

Aggies have an overwhelming pride in their school, and the age-old traditions can seem annoying to a new student who has never been a part of them. However, the consistency of the traditions that carry over from year to year offers a timeless experience that you can share with any other A&M grad. Although times are constantly changing here, some things will always stay the same, and this gives A&M that special feeling that is hard to find at any other campus. You are not just getting an education here; you’re becoming part of a whole new culture, taking part in its current events, and becoming part of its history. In the long run, A&M isn’t just about going somewhere for four years to learn—it’s like becoming part of a society that will continue to shape and mold your life and the lives of those around you, forever.

Diversity at Texas A&M University

Diversity

I feel like A&M is known for diversity. It is not often that you walk around seeing the same people everywhere. Unlike most colleges, we are not driven by sororities and fraternities. Though, I am in a sorority, it is not everything here. We have so many different organizations to be involved in. Many are devoted to helping the community and the world. Most of the time it doesn't matter where you come from, who your family is, how much money you have, it just matters if you have a heart for being an Aggie and a heart for the community. I rarely, actually never see anyone being put down for race or gender. Everyone is so friendly and accepting. There aren't many stereotypes here.

Living on Campus

When I lived on campus, I lived on the Northside. Within the northside, you have really old buildings and newer buildings. I lived in the newer, honors dorms. They were extremely nice, including your own bathroom. It's nice to live on campus because you get to meet so many people and everything else is so accessible from there. Everyone is so friendly and it's so easy to meet friends. It's much cheaper than living off campus and you usually get a meal plan, so that saves in costs too. The food on campus is pretty decent and overall, as a freshman, it's great to live on campus. The amenities are great too. The food is close enough to walk, you can walk to our campus gym. The doctor on site is also extremely convenient.

Texas a&M Is Beautiful

The facilities on campus are great! All the buildings are easy to access. We are currently under major construction of the athletic centers, buildings and dorms. So, once those are completed, the campus will be even better. I love being on campus. I think it's beautiful to just hang out on a pretty day and do homework outside. It has such a great feel and everyone is so friendly. There's no place I'd rather be than at Texas A&M.
