Those are great pictures!

I'm visiting College Station sometime in June to see several of my friends. I haven't been there in years and don't remember what it looks.

minnesotagirl9127, I almost went to A&M or it was my second pick but I figure the classes would be difficult only because the classes are much bigger than the school I attend currently (SFA). That is my biggest problem and I like to communicate with my teachers. My biggest class at SFA in the last year was 120 and I hated it because I don't have time to talk to the teacher in class but instead at officers hours or e-mail that I don't prefer. That is the only big class I will ever have. Most of my classes only have 30 students in it and I love it.

Only the ''basics classes'' are huge. Ours had up to 400 enrolled. Solution: junior college in the summer (easy A).

Once you got to 2nd semester sophomore and upperclassman level, the classes got smaller. Most of my classes were 20-30 people, some had maybe 50 and others 5 or 6.

Very nice set up pics indeed, I enjoyed the tour.

The school has wanted the property for a long time though. Hopefully $$$ does not get in the way and the Dixie Chicken leaves. And one can not leave College Station w/o going to Freebirds. All I can say is that school has one heck of a "network". If you graduate from there and apply for a job and the person interviewing is an Aggie, your hired. They stick together thicker than blood. Some of them can be kinda weird though .

I've always understood that after ten years an Aggie graduate, at work, is referred to as 'The Boss'

Well at UTSA I would have a few tests for one class whereas at A&M it would be tests, homework and maybe a project or two. However, I only really have intro classes to compare so the difference may not be that huge.

Most colleges are pretty much the same except like of course SMU, Rice, or Harvard. I attended a Junior College last year and took business class and the test were same as UT Austin Business School so I guess it depends on the professor or the department.

RGV: Those are great photos. I have a bunch of UT Austin. I'll stick up another thread next to this one and we can compare how similar many of the buildings are. You got more pics of people laying on benches. I don't have that.
