Student Reviews
A&M is for quality education
Anonymous rated 5 out of 5 stars
Texas A&M is most likely the most comfortable possible place to have a college experience and to get a lot of work done. Classes are challenging, and are often collaborative as to foster social skills (which are a decisive part of your ability to find employment after graduation). There is also an abundance of clubs and organizations for just about every area of interest....

Texas A&M gave me a surplus of opportunities professionally, academically, and socially. I attended Mays Business School, which values global thinking and innovation. I specifically enjoyed leading an organization that I was heavily involved in; I learned a lot.
