20 Signs You Go To Texas A&M University

What do you think of when you hear Aggie? Is it “Oh them Aggies and their damn traditions!” Well if that’s true, then you’re on the outside. If you think “loyal, selfless, and dedicated” then you’re one of us, those damn Aggies. Here at Texas A&M University, with more than 60,000 undergraduates, there is a lot to be learned besides our traditions. Here are just a few of the things you’ll learn from an inside Ag’s perspective about Texas A&M University!

1. It feels awkward when people don’t start their speech off with “Howdy!” Texas A&M University

Howdy, is the official Aggie greeting, after all.

You’ve probably been late to that 8am a few times too…

7. You’re amazed whenever there isn’t a line for food on campus.

Sometimes you’re just hungry and want some Panda Express, why is it so difficult?

8. Almost getting hit by a bike is an everyday occurrence.

When there are bikers zooming in and out of pathways, you’re probably going to get whacked. It may or not be because you were on your phone and forgot to look up…
