You are going to see or hear some recommendations to go to the Quad to see the Corps fall out and the cannon fire. In the words of Walter White, I tread VERY lightly about this recommendation. It depends ENTIRELY on how old you are. If you are 60+, you will probably think it was time well spent. My retired father loves it. If you are younger than that, you will be either bored or completely weirded-out. Aggies are a good-hearted, well-meaning bunch. The people who recommend this are being genuine - they think you will like it because it is so special to them that it brings tears to their eyes, but Aggies are also a naive bunch - we frequently fall afoul of not understanding that "our stuff" doesn't make sense and or ins't special to others. If you are late 20's-30's age guy looking for a good time, I would recommend against the Corps fall out and cannon experience. Just my .02. This will make other Ags mad, but it's the truth.
