Our campus architecture can best be described as "Soviet". No lie.
The new stuff really is nice though.

The real old stuff is pretty nice too. It's the middle (60's-80's) that looks Soviet.
In all fairness, when enrollment went from 10,000 to 40,000 (plus the addition of women), during that period, they were looking for classroom space and unfortunately not design.

I was a meteorology major at A&M, so if you have any questions about the program I can help you out though it has been over 6 years since I graduated.
If you like air quality and related information I recommend any class from Dr. Don Collins. He's an awesome professor and my favorite one in the atmospheric science department. He was the guy who got me hooked on the environmental side of things and now I'm an environmental engineer (after getting my masters).
A&M has some great faculty in the department, I'm sure you will love it. However, I would definitely recommend at least an internship or two and try to figure out early on what you want to do because the job market for meteorology majors can be a little harsh if you only plan on getting an undergraduate degree.

Go to a restaurant east of campus called Fuego. Get a Juan Pablo. You won't regret it! It is the best taco I've ever had. They have absolutely any type of taco you can imagine. May not sound all that great on a message board, but it won't disappoint. My favorite bars on northgate are paddock, mad hatters, and cedar lane. Hope you enjoy it!

Ill keep you in mind man. I'm pretty sure ill have questions somewhere down the line. Haha
I plan on getting at least a masters. Might get a doctorate depending on how I'm feeling after 6 years.

2. Is there anything on campus not covered by the tour I should check out? Anything in college station? Bryan?
I'll sound like a broken record for saying this over and over, but Sodolak's in Snook. Snook is roughly 14 miles from Kyle Field and from the hill in the middle of snook, you can clearly see Kyle.
Sodolak's is where chicken fried bacon was invented. I'd get it as an appetizer and the 'extra small sirloin' that laps over the plate as the main course.
Also in Snook is Slovacek Sausage. Pretty good stuff, they sell it in the concession stands at Kyle and you can get it to go at their factory/store.
While I'm on food, I am partial to Layne's Soon To Be Famous Chicken Tenders in CS. The original one is in a dump right across from the main entrace to A&M.

Layne's is awesome, but Cane's is my favorite (don't say that out loud in CS, OP 
). But seriously, try both if you get the chance. Neither will disappoint

Thanks for bringing that up though. I'm on a tight budget at the moment so that'll probably be where I stop for lunch

You looking to get shot?
Layne's existed when I was in school, Cane's is a newcomer and I can get it whenever I travel in the rest of the south.

I'm a current student too. I, unlike some other Ags on this thread, would suggest visiting the Dixie Chicken. The place is folksy and plays great music... in short, it has character. Get a double cheeseburger, you won't regret it. I've spent many many hours the past few years shooting pool there.
Also, you might wanna check out Koppe Bridge Burger Bar. Another place with lots of Texan character.
If you have questions about Admissions or the Application process, I'd be happy to answer them. I may or may not be a student worker for the Admissions Dept.
