Headed to College Station late Feb. for Bush School Interview

Well I recently applied to the MAIA program at the Bush School and I made it to the interview process that will be held as a part of a 2 day conference at the end of February. So I have a couple of questions.
The 2 days of the conference are pretty much filled with scheduled events but I'll be arriving in College Station the day before so just wanted to see if there is anything I should see or visit while I get the chance? (besides the Bush School obviously since that's where I'll be for most of my time there)
Also, has anyone here been a part of a graduate school interview process before? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

There are a lot of things on campus worth a look. The tribute to the CMH winners and Bush Library to name two.

Bonfire memorial is very cool to see if you can get over there.

Best of luck. I did the bush school maia program awhile back. Fun two years and I learned a hell of a lot!

Good luck! I went to Bush School for undergrad. It's kinda far from the rest of campus, but the GOOD thing about that is you can always park your own car out there. When he was in better health years sgo, George Bush himself used to fish the pond back behind the buildings there and would shake your hand and talk to you with genuine enthusiasm if you went out there and walked up to him. I'd just walk through campus if I were you and had some spare time. Go from the medal of honor presentation in the MSC and make your way on a loopy path North and then get a drink on NG. I did a similar self-guided tour ending in a bar in Columbia, Missouri and had a surprisingly good time killing time that way.

You ever meet the groundsworker that was always fishing with George?

No, but that's funny. Was he a real card?
Posted on 2/12/14 at 2:28 pm to Cooter Davenport
Nah he is a member of my family is all. We always found it funny that he called him George and not Mr. President

Honestly, he came off more as "George" when I met him. Granted, he had been retired for YEARS at that point, but I think the most surprising thing was how nonchalant he was. Posted on 2/12/14 at 3:00 pm to Agforlife

I assumed that was a secret service guy!
I worked in the Allen Building from 2002 to 2013. The last few years, I've hardly seen anything of the Bushes. We used to see them a couple of times a month (outside of summer, which they spend in Maine).
