Hello All,
Just wanted to give all an update.
My son and I visited TAMUG on their college tour on 3/26. The day started with a presentation by the President Col Fossum followed by the Counselors. They did make it very clear that Galveston is a branch campus of CS. They are still under governance of Texas A&M CS. TAMUG students are Aggies! Tour guides took us for a walking tour of the campus. Lots of construction going on which shows growth. I am expecting lots of growth in TAMUG. The campus is small but in my opinion students can get lot more interaction with teachers. We did not get to see the dorm (Pacific hall). After the tour, we got to sit down with a counselor. All the counselors are genuinely helpful and ready to answer any questions. Impressed by their timely responses even via email.
Getting a 3.5 GPA should not be that hard but students need to put in good effort. Finally we have committed to TAMUG and signed up for NSC! My son is very excited about TAMUG and he is looking forward to his transition to CS next year. Good luck to all the future Aggies!
Once again, to allay anyone’s concerns, Galveston is a branch of CS, although much smaller than CS. Degrees are offered under the name of Texas A&M College Station.
Cheers!
