Texas A & M University-College Station (TAMU) Campus

In this video you get to walk to class with me! Campus is pretty quiet early in the morning. It is usually at its busiest around the afternoon. Weekends when there are no football games are also pretty quiet, many people go home as they live a few hours away.

This is another one of the hidden gems that I have found at TAMU! The Gardens is located on West Campus and is near all the buildings where the agricultural majors experiment in. It is great to go here, because it is always quiet and really pretty when the weather is nice. It is a good place to finally breathe some fresh air whenever I want to go outside and look at some nature.

Texas A&M puts an enormous amount of effort into connecting students with future career opportunities. Between career fairs, resume workshops, company visits and lectures, there are a million ways to jump start your search for an internship or job. Chipper is grateful to A&M for opportunities like these that will help him get into law school!

Welcome to A&M! This video explains the Aggie intro. These introductions aren't used on a regular basis but they are fun to say once in a while!

Nadia was nice enough to sit down with us to answer a series of questions about what it's like to live on campus! These were questions that I've actually had since I've personally never had the opportunity to live on campus! How does she get to campus? There's an amazing bus system. Technically White Creek is on-campus and busses run until about 1AM! From White Creek to Main Campus it's approximately 5-7 minute bus ride and from the bus stop it's about a ten minute walk! White Creek even provides the students with their own individual rooms unlike other dorms. You get your very own four walls and a space to call home-away-from-home while here in College Station instead of having to share your space with another dorm-mate. White Creek is also known for it's spacious kitchens, washing/drying systems, and even the cozy living room spaces. Nadia even talks to us about what it's like to have roommates; she loves the privacy. As a freshman you do have to have an on-campus meal plan which will come really in handy one the new dining hall opens up right next to White Creek. You won't have to make the journey to SIBSA dining hall on Main Campus to grab a bite before class...you can roll out of bed and walk across the street to get breakfast!

This is the Century Tree! Don't walk under it alone or you will be forever alone. However, if you walk under it with someone, both of you will always be together! There's also a friendship branch, so same rules apply. Walk under it with your friends, y'all will literally be bff's, walk under it alone, you'll be alone as well.

Markus gives us his perspective on the engineering department at A&M. He also mentions parking and traffic, which can sometimes get hectic, especially at peak hours (usually in the afternoons).

Sorority row is located about 8 minutes from campus and is the home of female greek life. At Texas A&M most greek students will live in their prospective sorority houses their sophomore or junior year before moving to an apartment or house.

Check out what a group fitness class looks like and hear from an instructor and a Rec patron about why TAMU Rec sports lives up to the hype!

This is a look at the Academic Plaza. It is the center of main campus and served as inspiration for Disney Pixar's Monsters, Inc. and Monsters University! We have many Aggies that work at Pixar. Sully from Monsters, Inc was named after the university's president, Lawrence Sullivan Ross and The Academic Building was the inspiration for Monster University's Scare School!

In this video I explore a full day in my life as a student at Texas A&M. I drop my girlfriend off at Mays Business School for an Honors interview, I run an eBay account so I print out and ship product, I meet my girlfriend at Wehner for ISTM 210, I go record at the creative room, we go to the GEM of CSTAT which is Aldi Grocery Store, we go to the rec center to workout, and we finish homework. WHEW. That was a lot. Texas A&M is unique in the sense that it offers seemingly infinite resources for its students. If you utilize resourcefulness, you can really take advantage of all this amazing school has to offer. Now come along as I take you through an average day in my life! Reach out if you have any questions :-)

Howdy, welcome to Aggieland! I am so excited to show you around Texas A&M University and teach you all about our traditions and life here at Texas A&M! I hope you enjoy and learn about A&M through these videos. Thanks and Gig 'em!

From Rock Climbing to Pumping Iron, The student rec has all of your fitness needs!

In this video I show part of the south side of campus and talk briefly about the corps of cadets and the school's history. Texas A&M University was founded in 1876 as Texas Agricultural and Mechanical college after the Morill Act of 1866. From to beginning of the school until 1965, Texas A&M was an all male, military school. After 1964, women were allowed to attend and in 1965, membership in the Corps of Cadets was voluntary. Now, the Corps is one of our many traditions and are considered "the guardians of tradition" at A&M. This is a brief history of this part of the school and of the corps of cadets. On the South side of campus, there is the Commons and several other dorms, Heldenfels Hall where math, chemistry, and biology lab classes are held, the University Center Garage, South Side Garage, and the golf course.

If you come to A&M for a tour you will be introduced to the Century Tree and the Academic building without a doubt. This is one of the most beautiful areas of campus and when it is sunny and nice is it a student favorite for spending time between classes.

At the center of Academic Plaza is the Academic Building! Enjoy the tour of this capital building look alike.

Welcome to the Academic Building and Plaza! There is a lot of history in both the building and its surroundings. From the luck of Sullivan Ross to the replica of the Liberty Bell, this area at TAMU is very important to campus. Students can attend class here, have a picnic on the grass, or even attend events that are held in the plaza.

Sully from Monsters, Inc was named after the university's president, Lawrence Sullivan Ross and The Academic Building was the inspiration for Monster University's Scare School!

In this video I give y'all a tour of the heart of campus, Academic Plaza.

Former Texas A&M University President Lawrence Sullivan "Sul" Ross has been helping students survive finals week since 1891. This statue of "Sully" represents much more than just someone that once was in charge of the university, but an individual who truly cared about the students, and showcased the Aggie Spirit in many aspects of life. When you pass this statue, you'll notice stacks of pennies at the base. The tradition to put a "penny on Sully" is expressed because it was said that Ross would help students with their studies, when the students would ask how they could repay him, he would simply reply with, "A penny for your thoughts." If you ever need good luck before a big exam, Sully's got you! It's also said that Sully from the popular Pixar movie Monsters, Inc. was named after our very own Lawrence Sullivan Ross!

College Station has a historical reputation of being boring. I don't agree with this. If everyone I know ALWAYS has schedules packed with social, campus, community and service events then it can't be too boring here. We don't have a fancy mall or plethora of entertainment options like a college located in the city would have. But we have a million places to eat, parks, tons of concerts, movie theaters and community events. Plus College Station is less than two hours to Waco and Austin and less than an hour 15 minutes to Houston. So, if you are ever truly bored it's easy to take a weekend road trip!!
