Texas A&M University - College Station Reviews

"Texas A&M University in College Station, Texas is a phenomenal institution in multiple facets. You can be certain that a degree from A&M will prepare you for any career of your choosing. The coursework is rigorous and broadens your mind past the core and major classes you will be taking. Employers recognize the high level of performance from an A&M graduate. The school is also rich in tradition, making the college tradition something unique. Once you are admitted into A&M, you are apart of the Aggie family, which is not taken lightly. The spirit and loyalty of Aggies is unmatched and I am proud to be a former student of such a wonderful university."

"Texas A&M was an amazing experience. The school is rich with tradition and history. Although the student body is huge, joining an organization makes making friends easier and fun while helping the community. A&M has some amazing professors which want to see you succeed."

"I attended Texas A&M University - College Station, but my college was located in Kingsville, Texas. The pharmacy school is one of the least expensive in programs offered in Texas, but from what I have heard and experienced, it may not meet the comparisons of a more expensive pharmacy program. It does, however, meet the requirements necessary for your degree."

"I pursued my graduate degree at Texas A&M in financial economics. I thought that the hybrid finance and econ degree was interesting and that I would enjoy the course material. Honestly, this program has taught me next to nothing. The classes after the first semester were easier than undergraduate level economics classes, maybe even easier than high school economics. I did not gain much from this program, and recommend that students look elsewhere for a quality education. I would recommend this program to someone just looking for an easy Masters degree and not really wanting to learn a lot."

"I consider Texas A&M University home in College Station, TX. I think it is the friendliest campus in America and everyone there is so helpful when it comes to faculty and student body. The College of Science is great and is constantly growing when it comes to research opportunities. The College of Science hires professors from Ivy League colleges to carry on their research and it's great for the classroom experience because undergrads learn from the professors who have thorough knowledge of the materials being taught."

"Good school with a very friendly, welcoming atmosphere, a safe town, an abundance of available extracurricular activities, and very good programs in my major. There was a clear dedication to integrity and continual improvement. It offered me the opportunity to live in peace apart from "party school" areas, which was one of my bigger worries going into college."

"Pros: Impressive university name tag Flexible payment schedules Diverse culture Cons: Dominance of certain nationalities in certain courses Expensive Less internship opportunities for international students"

"TAMU is a fantastic school for providing many degree options with top professors and researchers in nearly every field. The school is very large, so not for students looking for very small classes and an intimate environment. However, despite the large size, the university and town of College Station create a friendly and family-like environment full of traditions and positive energy. Football tradition is huge, clubs are abundant, and Greek life is available but definitely not a must in order to have fun or fit in. It is a conservative school that lacks somewhat in diversity, but for the most part there is still room for all types of people, lifestyles and opinions."

"Quite good for grad students. However, the fee is quite high."

"Great school with excellent programs and faculty. Graduating from TAMU grants you access to a lifelong brotherhood in Texas where any other Aggie will see your ring and be your instant friend. College Station is a great college town, though its a bit rural for my taste. Overall a fantastic education and fun experience."

"Great experience overall. Really good professors, and education great networking opportunity. Also the cheapest MBA program with great value"

"Work and study hard, go to class. But have a good time and enjoy yourself. Connections are important."

"I do not have many cons to say about the program I am in. Since I have started my MS in Biomedical Sciences the faculty are all so willing to help you learn the material for your courses and offer advice on what students need to do in order to progress forward into transitioning to a professional school. The courses are very challenging but I see it as a good thing because they are trying to prepare us as much as possible for what course load will be like within the professional schools. I love my program because the faculty are excellent and they are not afraid to give you honest feedback. The staff work with you to the best of their abilities so that each person has a chance to succeed but they will not baby you. Texas A&M Masters in Biomedical Sciences program is a program I would recommend to anyone seeking help in getting into their dream professional school whether it is Medical, Vet, or Dental School."

"Texas A&M is an interesting and friendly place to spend your college years. It is in a small town which is quite lovely. It is a very conservative place in ideals. The campus is large and somewhat cumbersome. There are many extracurricular activities, but it is also very large and you can get lost in the numbers."

"TAMU is full of tradition and, although large, can feel like a small community if you get involved in the "other education." It's extremely supportive of research and leads in many fields. It is a rural environment, but the area has everything a college student would need."

"It has a wonderful energy around it. The traditions play into the academics and reinforces the bond to the student community."

"It is the best college anywhere, in every way. Academics, student involvement, networking, etc."

"There is no place like Texas A&M. I couldn't think of a better place to build a community that will last the rest of your life."

"The best experience I had very welcoming students and faculty. I felt like I was home and I have to visit because often because it is now apart of me."

"I had a wonderful experience at Texas A&M. I received a top flight education, made great friends and memories. As Dr. Crompton told us in our last day of class of our last semester, "Education is what's left when the facts are gone.""
