[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm a Texan and come from a long line of Aggies.  A&M is a rock solid school academically and is pretty difficult for admissions, particularly for Engineering and Business.  I have a number of friends whose kids are there now and they are top students academically.  I believe the OOS student population is less than 10%, so it's heavily Texan.  I agree that's it's culty school, but students get the big school experience and they do a lot around traditions and community building.  [/quote]

It IS a “culty” school, but deliberately so. It’s what we used to call insider traditions! And they do these up right in Aggieland! 
Walking across campus, you’ll still get a friendly “howdy” from everyone you pass—and that’s not because they grew up saying “howdy” as a kid. This is baked into their school culture, and passed down as a tradition. You’ll also hear a lot of “yes ma’am and yes sir” as standard responses to anyone who appears to be over the age of 22(and this IS due to upbringing, not campus traditions).

It’s a fantastic place for those who love Texas, farmers, God and country, family, apple pie, football, beer, country dancing in boots on a Thursday night, and traditions that go back decades.
