Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

Most students are very happy with the facilities at A&M. The libraries are nice, spacious, and have almost any book you could possibly want. They are so big that sometimes you can be standing near 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. The Memorial Student Center, which is the heart of the campus, is currently under renovation—it’s set to open in 2012, bigger and better than it was. The old student center had everything from a game room to food to a post office, so if that was what was there before, imagine what it will have when it’s done!

The student fees included in tuition that go into the athletic facilities almost seem worth it, given the quality of the center. The Rec Center is state-of-the-art, and it has a rock-climbing wall, a nicely stocked weight room, racquetball courts, indoor and outdoor pools, and a hot tub. There are even different types of fitness classes students can take. Overall, the facilities here are great. If a facility is not new already, it’s probably under construction for upgrades. A&M puts a lot of effort into making sure students are happy and satisfied with the facilities.

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.

Not Too Shabby

All the facilities are pretty nice. There aren't too many that are run down or really old. And if they are there's probably a good chance they're being renovated anyway. There is a lot of construction going on right now which is rather unsightly and inconvenient.

Facts

"Green" Initiatives

A&M has implemented many green initiatives in many areas of campus. Some examples include recycling, building LEED-certified buildings, and testing biodiesel fuel blends in the campus shuttles.

There is also a challenge in the dorms to see which residence hall can cut its energy use the most.

For more information on green initiative at A&M, visit sustainability.tamu.edu.

Favorite Things To Do

Besides classes, you can work out at the Recreation Center or take a long walk around campus under all the beautiful trees. Or, if you just feel like sitting around, you can always grab a cup of coffee and chat with friends at any of the coffee houses on campus.

Did You Know?

The Memorial Student Center is a memorial for Aggies who have died during war, so to show respect no one is allowed to walk on the grass around the MSC or wear a hat inside.

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