[quote=Anonymous]Texas A&M is in my opinion the most underrated college in the country.  The pros are great programs and facilities in a number of different majors that lead to jobs, a strong alumni network, one of the most fun football atmospheres in the country, and a surprisingly nice and inexpensive town that isn’t that far from Houston or Austin if you have a car. Also the student body is large enough for everyone to find their crowd. The “Aggie cult” thing is real in that people get really into the traditions, but other than symbolically the corps has little impact on the rest of the student body. but because tv crews highlight them on game day and you can pick out the corps students because of the uniforms on a tour it seems like they are more central to the school than they are for the average non-reg student.  It’s 95-5 non-reg.

The cons are it is huge, the bureaucracy of the school can be annoying at times, and the summers are very hot (although most people aren’t there for much of it). And there are for sure more republicans than many schools so if meeting some republicans is going to annoy you then it’s probably not the best place. But my experience is that the student body is pretty apolitical and center right to center left outside of the corps and some obnoxious people that want to be in Texas state politics. I am left wing and never felt out of place.

Loved my time there and it was a great experience. [/quote]
