Bring a car-absolutely. College Station is a rural town, meaning its not walk able, and public transportation is very limited. And its somewhat spread out. Without a car, you’ll be relying on the university buses and bumming rides from friends. Its not impossible, but its a hassle and will limit social opportunities. It’d be different if the campus were near a major urban center or something, but its not very pedestrian friendly.

Greek Life-In my opinion, don’t do it. It seems like you’re just paying to have friends to me. Most of the Greeks you ask though will say they have no regrets and love their frats/sororities. It also kind of depends on your personality. The type of people you enjoyed associating with in high school might help determine if you’d enjoy Greek life or not. One thing that’s nice about A&M though is that there’s a great social and organizational scene outside of the Greeks. Organizations like Fish Camp, carpool, msc hospitality, etc provide the same opportunity to be a part of a social organizations without the ridiculous fees or the hazing. At a lot of universities greek organizations are the only student organizations, but at A&M there’s a lot more options.
