Texas A&M is one of the largest schools in the country - and the campus is enormous - and very nice.
You won’t find a school with a stronger alumni. They are cult-like - in a beautiful way. I went to a grand opening of a business there - and as the leadership was introducing themselves -it wasn’t I’ve been doing this 10 years or i’m from Houston….It was I’m A&M class of 98 and some sort of grunt. They’re fanatical.
The town is smaller but not small - and is very nice - and you can fly directly there from Dallas on American Airlines.
Engineering is large too. They also have a corp of cadets - 2300 strong - so a military aspect that’s unusual.
I’m sure it’s a fantastic experience, unlikely most any other school.
