I’m looking for a car wash in BCS area that has a air compressor so I can blow out my engine bay. Are their any?
Hello,
I’m originally from Texas but moved to Florida in August of 2024. My job is sending me to grad school full time. I am looking to apply for the Master of Science in Electrical Engineering.
Any idea how much for a semester? Just tuition and graduate fees (no books, housing, food, etc.)
Also is it possible to complete the program in a year? ex. Fall 2025, Spring 2026, Summer 2026. I know the requirement for non-thesis is 30 credit hours.
for anyone that’s taken this class how bad was the final?? did he curve? lowkey stressing sm
ok let’s say im visting on a sunday afternoon and staying the night with a friend what are good things to do??
As the title clearly states - more and more I have been considering transferring out of A&M and completing my bachelor’s elsewhere. And frankly, I am truly wondering if anyone has any recommendations for fully online undergraduate institutions.
I have just completed 5th Semester and am about to start my 6th semester - but I by hours and still a sophomore as I’ve never been able to exceed 12 hours due to my situation, and, obviously, academics are obviously becoming more difficult.
However, the most difficult part of my situation is the fact that I am working 50-60 hour weeks during my semester because I am an emancipated 20 year old who has been financially on their own for almost 5 years. And, quite frankly, if I don’t work - I won’t be able to attend any further education institution.
Working full time I have reached issues in not being able to take enough credits to actually progress correctly (12 hour minimum always). And even this workload is difficult due to my minimal time availability.
Needing to work while wanting to peruse my academics, I have learned that A&M is not currently the school that best fits this life style.
I would love to complete an online masters through Mays after I get my bachelors, but I am going to need a good gpa to do this. Currently? Mine is going to shit slowly as the courses get harder.
Therefore, I am here. I am wondering if any of you have any recommendations as to good fully online Texas further education institutions. I love A&M, I really do, but I am not able to pull this type of life off. I am constantly exhausted taking classes in the morning and working the rest of my day away. Living off minimal sleep and never having a wink of time for myself, And as close as I am to my Aggie ring, I understand that by returning later for my masters online at Mays, that’s as good as a time as any to get my Aggie ring.
Thank yall and gig em.
Howdy!
I am currently a student at UTSA and I really really really want to trnafer to A&M this coming fall. There is so much I love about this school, and because of this I've come to realize UTSA is not at all for me. I do have a problem though, which is transferring into a specific major. I am currently a Biology major, but because I'm a freshman and would be going in as a sophmore next year, I don't have all of the pre-requsites to transfer into Biology. The courses I need are Gen chem 1 and 2 and Calc 1 and Calc 2 (or stats). I was thinking of taking General Chemistry over a winter minimester course, and then taking gen chem 2 in the spring, as well as calc 1 and stats. My issue is that If I should even do this because Gen Chem is such a fundamental course. I want to go into Dental Hygiene, and I heard dental schools look down upon taking a vig course like gen chem, at a community college. It might also be stressful over the winter break to take such a heavy course. Also, my biology major here has diffenrent reguirements than TAMU and if I take two math courses next semeter it hinders my progress if I don't get accepted to transfer. Does anyone have any reccommendations on what I should do to get in next fall?
Thank you!
I am an incoming ecomonics master student. I will come to Texas AM in NO.29 December. I am looking for someone to sublet. my budget is 500-600 per month. 4b/4b or 4b/2b are both ok. it would be nice to near the bus station and convenient to cook. I want a quiet place and friendly roommate. I do not want to bear pets, but I do not mind other roommate bearing pets
I've recently become acquainted to the tragic fact that there is no dim sum in BCS.
I am willing to drive up to 90 minutes away. Do you guys have any suggestions?
Alternatively, would happen to know anyone of Chinese culinary background that I could financially petition to prepare me some sumptuous har gow?
- 3am hungry poster... out
I really need some info. I’m getting ghosted on emails and can’t find a good estimate about costs here. Would really appreciate your help.
I live off campus, would it be weird to live in Hullabaloo as a sophomore? Anyone in hullabaloo know if there’s a good amount of sophomores there? Or do most go to apartments n shi
Howdy Ags,
Any current or former students from the Master of Engineering in Systems Engineering degree?
Looks interesting and was wondering what people’s thoughts on it are, especially if someone went into it from a different engineering undergrad.
T & G’s
A group of my asshole former friends are travelling without me to Europe this winter break, even though my knowledge and experience in the area they're going through, and my travel experience would be of amazing benefit. I'm exceptionally hurt by it, like a whole whole lot.
I've traveled a lot in my time at A&M. I am on a scholarship so my tuition and housing are covered, which means work money can all go traveling (savings are for lame-os, money comes back memories don't #yolo).
I almost always go alone. It has been fun, but...
I want to make lifelong memories with a group of beautiful fascinating intellectual people, traveling this incredible planet together. I think college is my one chance to do that, and the opportunity to do it is rapidly passing me by.
Does anyone vibe with this
Seriously asking.
As the title suggests, I recently got a cat. He’s a bit young but I wanted to start researching early! Does any one know of a good place to take him once he’s old enough?
Howdy!

Feel free to message me if you have any questions!
So I submitted my application yesterday (December 1st deadline) through ApplyTexas and I still have to wait for my login information to be emailed so I can start the fee waiver process. Will that keep me from having my application accepted on time? I have my application submitted, I just haven't processed the waived payment yet.
Thanks in advance. And I know I should've started earlier😔
Howdy y'all, has anyone taken the BIOL-1308 winter minimester at Blinn? Or any minimester for that matter? What are they like and how difficult will it be/ how manageable is it taking a mini throughout the break?
Thanks & Gig'Em
Howdy everyone! Anyone know any super easy A classes I can take for humanities electives and what professors i should try to have and which ones i should avoid? I feel like there's so many random classes for it and I honestly just need the ones to boost my gpa.
This is a question that has been on my mind for quite some time this semester. Anyone who's been to Kyle field knows the TAMU student section brings energy like no other, it's awesome. But one thing I've noticed is that the lighting and music at Kyle seems to be lackluster imo. When we played LSU, I distinctly remember being close to the LSU band and hearing them all game. It felt like they were always playing in between plays. I was nodding along with them because they sounded pretty darn good. Meanwhile, the Aggie band rarely played in between plays and when they did it didn't have nearly as much energy. They're just kind of standing there waiting until halftime. This also happened at the Texas game. I've also noticed that the lighting at Kyle field is always set to bright. Some buddies of mine went to the Auburn game and described how the stadium lights would go dark or even change color. That in unison with cool song choices made for such a great atmosphere. Here, it seems like we always kind of do the same thing. I believe our stadium would benefit from mixing up the lighting and didn't hear the same song (Mo Bamba) every 20 minutes. Sorry 12th man productions. This is my take, what do y'all fellow Ags think?
Over by the main rec it smells like feet and cheese. It's like expanded all over university though. I feel like I'm going crazy. Is it the creek?
Bich 411, biol 320 (seely), bims/gene 320 (davis), biol 351 (paredes)
Planning to take all of these next sem. What are yalls thoughts on this? Do you think it’s doable?
What is the earliest you can hear back? Submitted my application October 3rd
Does anyone have the syllabus? I couldn’t find it online and I’m planning to take it in the spring so I wanted to see just to prepare over the winter.
Does meer curve even just a little
I’m trying to sell my old textbook and I’m not sure where would be good to sell it to someone with the upcoming blitz of new 206 students.
