Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

Sure, the dorm rooms are a bit small and have to be shared with a roommate, but there are so many conveniences of living on campus. Most dorms at A&M are pretty old, but there are many to choose from, including everything from suites to singles to coed and same-sex dorms, in every style and price range. It’s recommended that A&M students live on campus their first year to help them meet people and feel more like a part of the University. Most students do this and seem to be very happy with that decision. Plus, most residence halls have free washers, study rooms, and a kitchen on one of the floors.

A&M is divided into two parts: Northside and Southside. Residents on each side will tell you their side is the best. The dorms on Northside are generally cheaper, and the Northside dwellers, in general, are a close-knit, anti-frat, anti-Corps group. Southside is home to the Corps dorms and the Commons (Aston, Dunn, Krueger, and Mosher), which houses a lot of sorority girls. You’ll just have to take a guess about which side you think you’d like best because they really are very different. Some students room with friends from high school, but others prefer to go “potluck,” or have a roommate randomly assigned to them, which is the most common way of getting a roommate. There are benefits to both, but many people say that rooming with high school friends will ruin your friendship, and more often than not, it’s true. And, remember, this is college, so don't be scared to try something new—nearly everyone else will be in the same boat with you.

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.

Life

Get used to walking a lot, the campus is absolutely gigantic. Best place to eat hands down is Lanes chicken but when you are on campus go to the underground cafes and you can find Chick fila. people are over very friendly so making friends is no big deal. Football is a religion at A&M so try and learn to like it if you don't because they consist of 3 days of partying. Academics are great and teachers are always open for questions and concerns.
