Texas A&M University - Facilities

Quick Stats

College Prowler Take

Most students are very happy with the facilities at A&M. The libraries are nice, and the Memorial Student Center is the Grand Central Station of campus. It has everything you could possibly want, from practical things, like a post office, to the entertainment of a game room and bowling alley. The Rec Center is state-of-the-art. There is a rock-climbing wall inside, as well as a nicely stocked weight room, racquetball courts, inside and outside pools, and a hot tub. There is everything here that a student could possibly want, but there are negatives that go along with that, too.

The large portion of students’ tuition fees that goes into athletic facilities almost seems worth it, given the quality of the center. The libraries are so big that sometimes you can be standing around a million books and not find one that you need, but the workers are really helpful. All you need to do is ask, and they’ll stick by you until your research is done and you have what you need. Overall, the facilities are great. If a facility is not new already, it’s probably under construction for upgrades. A&M gives a lot of attention to making students happy and satisfied with their facilities.

Facts

Did You Know?

Don’t walk on the grass around the MSC or wear your hat inside it. The Memorial Student Center is a memorial for people who have died in our country’s wars. That may be the only time Aggies are mean—when they tell you to take off your hat or get off the grass.

The University has recently finished building an underground walkway tunnel for students to cross over to West Campus without being stalled by the train.
