what started pulling people towards a&m


Flagship? Check

Good school? Check

Major sports conference? Check

Hot women and great bar scene? Check

There you go.

Great engineering school, along with tu and Rice the only tier 1 Universities in the state. A lot of room to grow. Oil money.

I'd say the Academics really became well known and more well rounded by the mid 90's, and enrollment started really blowing up by 2000.

You asked what pulled students in. Those are all reasons. It doesn't have to be specifically unique things that attract students.

The perception changed when the data showed that graduates from A&M were making as much, and in some cases, more, upon graduation

Feedback from interviewers was that A&M grads were better prepared with practical/ hands on experience while uta grads were more schooled in theory (pre-law) degrees

Also, in terms of schools where the students are both smart and athletic, they are the 4th best in Texas, so that helps.
