My daughter and I just returned from her New Student Confrence.
TAMU did a great job.
I was hot & humid! We arrived a day early and I am glad we did. We ran around campus and took care of all the check list items: Student ID, laptop (& iphone) activativated on campus wireless, sports pass picked up, Tshirts purchased, textbooks reserved. All done on pre-confrence day saving us some time standing in line.
We covered a lot of ground on campus - I highly advise comfy shoes. Dress comfortably and lightly - but you might need a light jacket/sweater with you because the confrence rooms were kept cool. I didn't complain - it felt good to me! If I were to go again - I would take one of thoes little hand held fans. We were not use to the humidity and I didn't know it was possible to sweat that much!
If you plan on staying in the dorms I also suggest you take your own fitted sheets! The flat sheets did not stayed on and my daugher and I both wrestled with our bedding both nights not sleeping much.
Don't forget all the coupons you have been receiving from the book stores. We left with a couple of free Tshirts and a nice pair of flip flops - definantly worth the drive to the stores. Of course we purchased more stuff at each store....
Highly organized & sometimes repetitive, my favorite part was going to the individual college meetings.
