I’ve talked to many Aggie parents, they told me how much more personal their trips to A&M were than when they went to UT Austin, which seemed more pre-programmed and impersonal, compared to how the A&M people were. I like that College Station is a college town, too many distractions in Austin.
I as especially proud of how our fans have treated our new friends in the SEC. There have been a number of articles/blog posts from Florida, LSU and Auburn fans that talk about how we have acted at home and on the road.
I’m sure you will find out as your kids get closer to enrolling, but UT is a school in Tennesee. t.u. is that shool in Austin.
Didn’t see this thread earlier. I’m an Aggie (’84)., but live in California. Last year, my son was applying to colleges. He had visited A&M a few years back during the summer, but he wanted to visit again after he got accepted. He got into all the UCs he applied to. When he revisited those colleges, he didn’t like them as much.
Then he revisited A&M. He loved it. He was worried it would be too big, but it didn’t feel too big. He loved how nice everyone was. He liked the advisor he talked to, and how flexible the college was. It was the only college that he wanted a sweatshirt from, and he wore for like 2 weeks straight!
He’s there now, and loves it! He still talks about how nice everyone is even compared to his private Christian high school!
I highly recommend A&M!
