rafacosta Posted May 19, 2005 Share Posted May 19, 2005 (edited) Because I would like to receive any information about College Station, TX. I know it is a small city, and Texas A&M is located in there. Maybe I will go there for my MS degree in Agricultural Economics. Thanks!

And as I recall he pretty much hated it, though that may have had more to do with the distance between him and Mrs4Life. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheBigHurt35 Posted May 19, 2005 Share Posted May 19, 2005 From what I know of College Station, it's a nice town with plenty to do. It's also very football-oriented (much like the rest of Texas). And if you're a Republican, you'll probably enjoy the Bush Presidential Library. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kapkomet Posted May 19, 2005 Share Posted May 19, 2005 Rafa - Agriculture economics is not my field of specialty, but in the grad school I'm in currently, there are people that have spoken very highly of A&M's program in this area. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sometimes it is good to have some beers and know few girls And the weather? I believe that in the winter it is not that cold. I know it is 100 miles from Houston and 130 from Dallas.

And in the winter it gets cold enough to snow maybe once and that's about it. highs in the 50's F in the winter but in the summer it's 95+ F every day Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know much about the bars, but the weather probably isn't much different that Houston's (maybe gets into the 30s or 40s in the winter with ample rain, but snow is rare... temps in the general area are mid-90s and humid in the summer). You'll need to bring a coat, but not a heavy one, for the winters and the summers are most likely similar to Brazil's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here is so hot all yar long that a cold weather will do no harm. Actually, I have never see snow before . 95 F in the summer?

YASNY Posted May 20, 2005 Share Posted May 20, 2005 My girlfriend's son goes to A&M. There are bars that cater to the college crowd. In other words, Cheap Beer! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Texsox Posted May 20, 2005 Share Posted May 20, 2005 A&M is one of the Top 5 AG programs in the US. College Station is pretty typical for a US, semi-rural college towns. Each one is different, but each one is the same. First lesson is you must dislike, perhaps even hate, the UT Longhorns. Get a sticker that Saws 'Em Off As far as the social life, you may dislike Texas women, especially if you dislike tall, sweet, beautiful, and sexy.

You may hate UT, but you'll be runnin' to Austin for the nightlife quite a bit. It's only an hour or so drive, and it's an actual city.

And I will choose TAMU instead of UGA... I love tall, sweet, beautiful, and sexy women, the biggest problem is that I am 5-10. I am a small guy...s***!
