Well I think it is like a 2.5 or something....VERY easy to get into. I'm living in a dorm right now, but plan on having an apartment by next spring. I like the DFW area. Lots of stuff to do, plus my girlfriend's house is right down I-35, basically right across the interstate from bluejay. And not to far from Oklahoma either...

Or Arkansas, or Louisiana if anyone so cared.

A&M college station is a GREAT school..i cant wait to transfer up here permanently
theyve got a really good engineering dept. and theres ALWAYS stuff to do.

or...if you want to get into the shipping industry A&M galveston has a great program for that, small school so youll know pretty much everyone there, including your teachers and administrators, plus you get a legit A&M degree..not an A&M galveston degree

There is also Baylor and TSTC in Waco, both good schools. My two best friends just graduated from TSTC and both got good jobs from the contacts they made their.

Well if you do, hit me up via email, or PM me on here, and I can meet up with you, and give you a hell of a lot better tour than the "tour guides" can. I probably know more my way around campus better than most of them anyways.

And as for the sig, PM me, and we can talk.

Im going to Texas A&M University next year. I got everything sent off today and am thrilled. I live in navasota now, which is about 20min from college station. I am always in college station and am very conservative. Plus im going for engineering so A&M is right for me.

ya, i here alot of good stuff from texas schools, just wasn't sure if i wanted to stay in texas, but what i learned from going to auburn is i hate auburn as much as i hated alabama when i lived there for 3 years. big mistake coming back.

guess i gotta check out, A&M, UTA, Tech this upcoming semester. tech is gonna be one long drive tho, its just as far as auburn is from home.

The nursing program was huge while I was there, apparently it is very good at Tarleton. Everyone that I met that was in the nursing program said it was extremely hard. I got my BBA there, it is a great school. The only down side is its like Lubbock, you either go out drinking or do nothing. There really isn't much to do in Stephenville, so its nice that ft worth is only an hour and a half away, and Waco is an hour and 15 min. The main thing that sold me on Tarleton was that its small enough the teachers actually know most of their students names, and everyone was very friendly there.

thats how my friend said he felt about florida and auburn is kind of the same way, you either party or do nothing. lately i haven't been doing the partying thing any more. just aint my thing to much, id rather be doing something else, which is one of the reasons why i bought a fj40 to work on. but don't get me wrong, i still drink occasionally, but i don't drink to get drunk, maybe just a beer here and there occasionally, and if i go out partying its just because some friends begged for me to come. im shocked by how much money some of my friends have spent on alcohol this semester

She has a lot of level headed friends that go to school there, so it's good for her. She's also close to home, and can come home when ever she wants (weekends), another bonus, and her boyfriend's family lives in the same town as us, so they most of the time come home together, save on gas.

I went to UTSA. University of Texas at San Antonio. Do not go there. I luckily was able to get a good job after college but most of my courses did not prepare me for work after. It took a lot of OJT.
