Average Rating
Texas A&M is a great school, Between the Academics and rich tradition there is no where else I would even consider attending school. My future holds big things, and Texas A&M is going to help me get there, and put me in the position to reach my dreams.
Joshua from College Station, TX
I couldn't have chosen a better university for my needs. From the outside looking in, we seem a little odd; from the inside looking out, we seem like a big family that stays together long after graduation. A&M is about tradition, friendship, and education.
