  • Feb-04-2011 I am a current student here

    I am very much enjoying myself!!! Part of that is due to the fact that when I first arrived I was extremely introverted. However, as the time wore on and I began to meet new people and become acquainted with the campus, attended events, indulged in the school spirit, etc. I was able to not only experience a level of social freedom but also personal development.

    For the most part, I enjoy the A&M campus. I don't really hang out much because I'm usually in my room doing my work. I really enjoy my classes though.

    I really love my school! Although the campus is small for a University it is very nice and historical. The people here are very helpful with the transition from high school to college. I love the activities there are on campus, there are so many things to do on campus its overwhelming. I am really getting the college experience.
