Weather Review

Warm summers and cool winters make for better than average environment.

Financial Aid Process

For a University with a large endowment, scholarship awards are too few in number.

Typical Small Town

College Station is a service oriented city located in south central Texas. Lots of fast food and family style restaurants and a few clubs geared to the night life. Fortunately, Houston is about an hour and a half drive, unfortunately, only one Greyhound Bus goes that way, once a day.

Average Campus Housing

Lots of campus housing at Texas A&M University, which becomes more expensive by the year. Dorms are starting to show their age and a bicycle is helpful with travel amongst classroom buildings.

On Campus Great, Could Be Better Off Campus

Travel in and around the campus of Texas A&M University is great as city-sized buses traverse the campus. Unfortunately, there is no service to any other transportation centers.

Massive Yet Mellow

For a large campus, Texas A&M University has excellent security. There are several Campus Police Officers on patrol, adequate lighting and I feel safe while traveling about the campus.

Homogenous Trying to Be Heterogenous

The student body is more homogenous than heterogenous, however, I am certain that the Admissions Office strives to make Texas A&M a diverse University. Economic backgrounds vary, while political beliefs tend to be conservative. Religious groups are allowed space for worship and very little is heard from the Gay community.

They're Part of the in-Crowd

You find the "Fratboy" types for men at Texas A&M, while the women are more the party type and can be reticent, to say the least, when it comes to associating outside their particular ethnic groups. Dress is extremely casual, even slouchy at times and there are quite a few of us who could work on their general appearance.
