I just completed my first and last year at Texas A&M . I am so relieved…

Education: At the business schoolthey try to scare you that your classes are going to be hard but in reality if you just keep up with the class work and turn things in on time youare going to at least recieve a B. So in general the academicss are not challenging and it is easy to just skate by.

Student Life: The people are very friendly but if you are not from a small town and do not know a lot of people going there you are going to be stuck because it seems like everyone comes with friends and does not want to branch out. MAny of the people are very closed minded and do not understand diversity. Personally I am from an upper class suburb of dallas, and I do think wranglers and a cowboy hat are dressing up for a night out.

Town: The most boring place ever, it is ugly and they say only three hours to a big city that is still three hours and I cant waste three hours a day just drinving to houston to pick something up.

People: I made a few long lasting friends but in the end most people were as I listed above…

I have transfered to SMU and LOVE IT!!!

commentAs a freshman business major, you shouldn't expect your classes to be difficult. They are intro classes. I just finished an accounting degree at A&M (the accounting program is #5 in the nation) and it was anything but easy. Please don't judge our school and faculty based on your inability to branch out, join, clubs, or venture to places other than the Hall or the Chicken.
responseSMU? The two schools are so totally different! SMU is known for their white, spoiled, frat boy image while A&M is known as your down to earth, howdy, friendly place to be. If you fit the SMU stereotype, it is no wonder you hated A&M. You didn't choose your school well to begin with.
responseI just graduated from TAMU this past May and was a proud member of the Corps of Cadets for four years finishing #3 in command of the whole Corps. First of all the school is anything but easy on its students. Second, I am African American and it was a culture shock for me, BUT I dont know how many friends I made within the first week, A&M is definitely the most friendly campus there is and has some DOWN TO EARTH PEOPLE! Third and lastly, there is no other school to match us when it comes to public service when A&M provided the most officers than any other school and all military academies combined to support WWII! Have fun at SMU and enjoy calling an Aggie BOSS one day.
