Texas A&M is a better choice imo. Two of my children are Aggie graduates and basically write their own tickets. My son is traveling the world now as a geologist making stacks of money...he has a degree in Bio-evironmental science. My daughter has a degree in Psychology with a minor in sociology and can pick and choose where she would like to work...when she puts her credentials up on monster.com etc, she gets tons of hits or whatever and is delighted. It is that Texas A&M diploma that does it. Also, both of these kids are forever astounded by the "Aggie network" and how far it reaches. My son was on an elevator in Anchorage and met a fellow who also had that Aggie ring and they were of course instant friends and comrades. My daughter is always telling me of different instances in life now where she gets "special treatment" when another Aggie and she cross paths. In fact, I am planning on going back to A&M at the age of 53 just to get that ring. It's on my bucket list. I have an associates degree in nursing, but that is with another school. It is my lifelong dream to gradaute from Texas A&M and I am going to do it....WHOOP!
