I am a senior political science major at A&M. I love the program and the department! The political science building is on west campus along side the George Bush Presidential Library/Museum. They were built at the same time, so it is fairly new. Texas A&M has one of the best Polisci graduate programs in the nation, so there are a lot of perks to being in the undergraduate program. A huge plus is that the classrooms only hold about 30 people, so class sizes are way smaller than any other major classes! Often, there are 300-400 people in a class in other majors, but never political science! Also, since the graduate program is highly ranked, the professors are especially good. There is a political science and economics library a few steps outside of the polisci building, which is rare, seeing that no other majors have their own personal library. On the second story of the polisci building, we also have our own computer lab/ printing room. Through my experience, polisci majors at A&M are smart. Everyone gets to know each other as well because we have our own building, so you will make friends. They also offer a large range and variety of classes. George Bush has an apartment in the Presidential Conference center (where the library is located), and he often visits, so expect to see secret service wondering around occasionally. There are presentations, seminars, and speakers who visit because of the connection with the former president, who is always present and speaks on behalf of the occasion. Political Science at A&M is a smart choice! I hope this helps!
