[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DC is considering UT Austin for engineering - but likely wont get an admit there.

However, Texas A&M seems to be a great choice too.. I have heard good things about their Engineering and Business Program - and also the Bush School of Govt and Public Policy.

Any first hand experience as a OOS at Texas A&M? [/quote]

You should visit. It's a great school for engineering. But Texas A&M is a certain kind of Texas -[b] pretty conservative, very clean cut, very traditional gender roles, very patriotic, very protestant Christian[/b], very into football. It can be [b]a little cultish[/b]. It's not for everyone. But a lot of people do really like it. It has a great professional network too. But Texas A&M is very much a love it or hate it school.

You people need to stop using these things as a pejorative and calling it "cultish"... this is why main-stream Americans outside of your bubble dislike you, you're completely insufferable.[/quote]

As someone who called it cultish above, from Texas and also I am VERY CONSERVATIVE.  I wasn't 'using cultish as a derogatory thing.   You've got 100,000 people in the stands singing convoluted cheers, swaying, greeting each other and saying "Howdy", following tons of traditions.  Call it cultish, call it "clique-ish". Call it "lots of inside jokes which they use to establish a huge sense of pride in school and camaraderie."

Maybe you need to chill.[/quote]

I think it's just one hyper-partisan, hyper-sensitive person. Nothing here is pejorative about conservatives or Texas A&M or the state of Texas. Some people are just looking to be offended 24/7. [/quote]
