Well their main concern is that the quality of students isn’t as high as other schools. At my school, people who don’t really care about school get into A&M easily and my parents fear that the quality of students isn’t as high as other schools.



To some extent, this is really a moot point.

If we were talking about high school, then yes, I would agree and say that the quality of students can make a significant difference in the quality of education you receive. In high school, the underprepared students have the ability to hold everyone back. In fact, teachers sometimes make significant modifications to their syllubuses to accomodate less prepared students.

In college, the isn’t the case. The hand holding ends. All students, regardless of educational background, are expected to keep up with the pace, or they will simply wash out. The pace at most engineering schools is usually quick in order to cover the necessary topics to meet accreditation requirements and/or the program’s own objectives (if they happen to exceed the accreditation minimums).
