Categories Comments Tips for prospective students Find friends that have the same class and help each other understand and get along. It's so much easier when you have a buddie.
Bang for the buck I'm still in the deciding stages of this peticular question. It has however been a very interesting experience.
Am enjoying being here Overall I love being at A&M but the business center and student affairs offices are still relatively new and so, very unorganized and confusing an be confusing if you don't talk to the right people.
Am learning a lot Being at A&M Texarkana I feel i've learned alot about myself and the world after high school. The professors I have had the pleasure to be taught by push us to do well and try to help however they can.

Categories Comments Campus Safety There is always campus security around. I feel safe even when I don't see them.
Greek Life So far there is one fraternity but we are in the process of getting more and sororities as well.
Clubs and Activities There are a numerous amounts of clubs here. I am currently a part of four clubs myself. Even if there isn't a club you are interested in, then you can easily create one.
Great for these types of students Fun people that can adapt to another environment that has something going on all of the time.
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus We host karaoke in the University Center once a month.
Bang for the buck For what you pay for, this is an extremely good school. The dorms are brand new and the school is in the process of building another one.
What to do for fun Socialize and hang out in the many lounges, play pool, swim, play volleyball, play ping pong, or work out.
Food and Dining They give you a variety of foods to eat everyday. For those who don't want what is served on your meal plan, there are many more options you can choose from.
Dorm Life Since the dorm building has about 300 rooms, everyone is pretty close. We are like a family. The dorms life here is one I wouldn't trade for anything.
Tips for prospective students Stay active and get involved
In three sentences This is the place where I can start my new life. The campus atmosphere is quaint and I am surrounded people that care about me. We strive together as a community to make each other better people.

Categories Comments What to do for fun The Residence Hall Association, and Activities Board put on many activities. However, these activities are small scale and usually involve no more than a maximum of 50 people. At the dorm there is a swimming pool and volleyball court that is excellent for warm weather conditions.
Food and Dining There is absolutely no food variety. The college offers no options for those that wish to pursue alternate eating habits than the typical young adult (vegetarian, gluten-free). This is likely the most negative aspect of this college.
Dorm Life Dorm life is great. A good amount of cohesiveness, but because of the limited size of the university social life is not exactly booming.
Academic Rigor There is not much academic rigor in the university at this time. I would expect that to change, but at the moment professors are mediocre and typically don't engage students to the point that would be desirable by most university standards. Student are content with mediocre accomplishment and there is little academic pursuit.
Tips for prospective students This university does not have the school spirit, sense of cohesiveness, or social aspect that a larger university has. It does contain a sense of unity in that it is still small enough to put a definite measure on its structure. People are very friendly and classes are relatively easy to pass.
In three sentences It is in the developmental stages so lacks many of the aspects that make a larger university great; however the university has a great social environment where people are accepting and diverse. Faculty and student morale is mediocre, but will likely develop to a higher standard with time. The small environment is sure to attract many prospective students.
