    Texas A&M is an amazing school that makes every student feel apart of something important. It is incredible that such a large school can still find a way to assure that every student feels apart of the family that is the Aggies. There are so many amazing opportunities that comes along with attending Texas A&M which is another reason it is such an awesome school. Aggies helping Aggies. There is a club for everyone, there are people for everyone, there is a special place for everyone. Classes are great and professors truly want the best for the students. I have learned so much, school wise and about myself during my first year at TAMU and I can't wait to go back!

    10/10 RATING! Honestly, one of the, if not, THE best schools out there. If there is one thing to say about Texas A&M University is that it is very welcoming. Professors, staff, student body, literally EVERYONE will greet you with a smile. Although, I haven't been here long, there is nowhere else where I would rather be. The school spirit here is amazing. Makes you feel like a part of some big family rather than an a school. You will make some life-long relationships here. The curriculum is vast and there is something for everyone. The campus itself is beautiful. Proud to be an Aggie!
    The connections that I have been able to make through this University have been invaluable! Mays business school has numerous professional programs, such as the Trading Risk Investment Progam, Titans of Investing, PPA, and more that provide students with the opportunity to get an amazing jumpstart on our career. Also, there are many off-campus housing options at Texas A&M, some of which are the cost of a dorm that allows students to have their own room.
